ABOUT THE ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM 

WORTHLESSSTUDIOS is excited to launch our inaugural Artist in Residence program running from September to December 2023. The residency is production focused, supporting underserved sculptors and installation artists at pivotal moments in their careers. The program takes place in our 10,000 square-foot warehouse at 7 Knickerbocker Avenue in Brooklyn, providing resident artists with 24/7 access to studio space, technical design assistance, and a fully equipped fabrication shop. Each participant will receive a $3,000 material stipend and a $1,500 artist stipend. 

This residency expands on our comprehensive approach to helping artists realize their creative visions while ensuring they have resources to advance their skills and careers. This program provides support for artists working in sculpture and installation to advance their fabrication and production processes while making a specific artwork. Our residency aspires to include Black, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQIAP+, women, nonbinary, and disabled artists, to fulfill the urgent need for fabrication tools, financial support, technical assistance, and space that so many underrepresented artists seek.
