(ARTISTS) Session Artists Residency, NYC—Session is an artists residency program based out of NYC's Recess, a nonprofit artists workspace that is open to the public. Session artists receive 2-3 months in one of our storefront spaces, a
small honorarium, and a materials stipend (between $500-$2500). The
opportunity is open to artists around the world.
Recess is free
and open to the public, and we encourage artists to engage with their
audience in a manner specific to their creative goals, using Recess as a
studio, exhibition space, stage, and/or experimental platform. Artists
have access to their space for the full duration of their residency and
are expected to work on a daily basis or the equivalent of at least
twenty hours per week. They will be given a small honorarium and a
stipend based on the material needs of their residency. In conversation
with Recess staff, artists designate their own work hours and the degree
to which they coincide with public hours.

fabrication studio located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It features 4 studio areas:

Michigan area. The intention behind a Maker Works Residency is to
give Southeast Michigan artists access to tools that are cost prohibitive for
most, such as CNC machines, a laser cutter, and more. Artists applying should
seek to push the boundaries of their knowledge and be willing to explore new
tools along with using the tools they may already know. All resident
artists will be trained on the tools, have access to project storage space,
computers & software and other amenities for free. There are 3 categories
in which to apply: Craft, Conceptual and Emerging. Maker
Works Residencies are 1-month and do not include housing, food or
