Apex Art International Program provides an open forum in which curators, artists and
critics can present their ideas to the New York art audience. Recently, notions of
internationalism have become theoretically articulated in multicultural discourse.
The apexart Residency Program hosts individuals who generally reside outside of the
U.S. for a one-month stay in New York City. The primary considerations for
participation in this program are that residents must be over 30 years of age and
have not spent time in New York City. Up to eight individuals are invited per season.
Participants, from different disciplines and at different points in their career, are
recommended by noted individuals (critics, museum professionals, artists, etc.) often
from their home country who are familiar with their activities and believe their practice
could benefit from a non-working visit to New York. There’s no application.
They provide residents an apartment, airfare, cell phone, computer and internet
access, and an extensive list of interesting contacts for them to meet with while they
are here.

Residencies range from a few months (short-term) to up to two years (long-term).

jury of two other ceramic artists. The selections are based on the quality of the work,
its artistic merit, and the diversity of the prospective group in terms of work,
background, and stage of career development. The diversity of the group is very
important; an undergraduate doing figurative sculpture may be working next to a
retired professor making functional pots, and each will learn from and teach the other.
Studio space is provided free to residents. There are eleven year-round studios.
Short-term residencies usually take place during the summer months. The summer
studio building, open from May 15 through October 15, has space for ten additional

WOODSTOCK A-I-R is designed to support artists of color with residency, exhibition,
and publication opportunities. This activity is created with an emphasis on supporting
photo-related artists who are at the brink of their careers and promising talent.
WOODSTOCK A-I-R allows participants the time, space, and financial means to
pursue creative risk-taking in an environment rich in cultural resources. Working
without distraction or interruption, photographers invited may focus intensely on their
own work and are encouraged to continue works in progress, set goals for the future,
or break new ground.
Artists are selected on basis of quality of their art and invited to be residents during
the months of June through September. All voices, styles, content, and techniques
are welcome.

Artists receive a stipend for food and travel, free access to the Center’s black and
white darkroom and digital imaging station (PC), and a honorarium. In addition, the
Center offers exhibition and publication opportunities to our residents.
The program runs from June through September.

Studio Program
The participants in the Studio Program are engaged in a variety of art practices with
an emphasis on installation work, film and video, photography, performance, and
various forms of interdisciplinary practice. The program provides studio space and
facilities in our loft in downtown Manhattan. The Studio Program exhibition is held in
May.
The Program encourages critical study and theoretical inquiry into the practices,
institutions, and discources that constitute the field of culture. It provides a setting
within which students engage in ongoing discussions and debates about the
historical, social, and intellectual conditions of artistic production.
