AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

from Franklin Furnace

Announcing the Open Call for LMCC’s Arts Center Residency

Application Deadline: February 28, 2021 at 11:59 PM EST

Throughout the pandemic, LMCC has continued to serve, support, and connect artists. More than ever, we believe that the creativity of artists and cultural organizations does not subside in the current moment and we are committed to these acts of care and stewardship. LMCC will rise to meet the immediate needs of the artist community we serve, with intention and responsibility toward our shared futures.
At the heels of a successful launch of a COVID-19 response program in 2020, LMCC will now turn our focus to the principal themes of equity and sustainability. Concurrent to Governors Island’s ambitious plans for addressing climate change and environmental issues in the long-term, LMCC is proud to join the effort in demonstrating the stake that artists must have in these timely issues.
This Open Call will provide short-term, project-based residencies to artists and creative practitioners whose work is concerned with the broader themes of equity and sustainability. These are thematic anchors which applicants may either choose to address explicitly or elaborate on how their practice and/or projects are relevant.
The residency will take place in the open plan studios at LMCC’s Arts Center on Governors Island in two sessions:
Session One: May 4 – August 20, 2021
Session Two: August 30 – December 17, 2021
Application is now live! Learn more about the program offerings, eligibility criteria, and link to the application on our website:
