(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. 

Applications are due March 15, 2012 and the program is open to visual and performance artists. Full information can be found here: http://www.recessart.org/play/apply.

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 transportation. Postmark deadline is March 15, 2012.
