6 Month Residency Open Call

The Winter residency will commence on Saturday, January 11th, 2025, culminating in a potential solo exhibition from June 7th until the end of the residency on July 6th, 2025. Depending on resident priorities, the resident may instead elect to host an open studio event during the final weekend of the residency. The exhibition will include a $250 honorarium and professional installation shots. We will prioritize underrepresented artists and artists that produce works that are not always viable in traditional commercial markets. We encourage artists from all educational backgrounds to apply, and we are excited to see work from artists based across the United States and internationally. 

Please note: we do not provide housing for the TNT Residency; if you are not based in New York City, then you are responsible for securing a living space for the duration of your residency. Residents may not live in or stay overnight in the studio.

Selection process: 10 semi-finalists will be selected. From those 10, 3 artists will receive Zoom studio visits. From this group of 3 finalists, the recipient of the winter TNT Residency will be selected. 

Your submission fee directly contributes to the operating expenses for two volunteer-run art-run galleries. If you require a fee waiver, please reach out to us at residencyTNT@gmail.com. 

We thank you for your support!
