Since 1976, Sculpture Space has been a launchpad for more than 630 visionary artists from across the globe—a place where bold ideas take shape and connections spark across materials, cultures, and generations. Our residency offers far more than studio space; it’s an invitation to experiment, collaborate, and immerse yourself in a dynamic community of makers, thinkers, and dreamers.

Throughout each season, residents engage with visiting artists, curators, and writers, sharing ideas that ignite new directions in their work. Every session culminates in a Works-in-Progress reception, when the public is welcomed into the studio to experience art in motion—unpolished, alive, and full of potential.

Artists are selected by a panel of distinguished peers and professionals for their originality, clarity of vision, and potential for growth. Accepted artists are notified in March. Each receives a $1,000 travel/materials/food stipend to help offset travel and materials. As funding allows, additional financial assistance may be available. We also encourage residents to pursue individual grants and partnerships to further amplify their creative opportunities.

At Sculpture Space, we believe in artists who shape the future through curiosity, generosity, and courage. Join us, and bring your vision to life in an environment that celebrates experimentation and the boundless possibilities of sculpture.
