artist-in-residence 2026 & 2027
KUNSTRAUM is a pioneering, artist-led gallery and residency program in New York City dedicated to artistic production, collaboration, and exchange. Since its founding, KUNSTRAUM has cultivated a vibrant international community where artists and curators come together to experiment, challenge conventions, and develop new perspectives in contemporary art. With a strong commitment to emerging voices and cross-disciplinary practices, KUNSTRAUM fosters an environment where critical dialogue and creative risk-taking are at the forefront.
Our Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program offers three-month residencies for national and international artists, organized on a quarterly cycle. For 2026, limited availability remains with one residency open for July–September and two for October–December. Applications for 2026 will be reviewed on a rolling basis prior to the deadline. We are also currently accepting applications for all 2027 cycles: January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December.
The residency program supports artists in the development of independent projects while embedding them within KUNSTRAUM's active creative network. Residents engage with a diverse community of artists, designers, filmmakers, and curators, and are invited to participate in monthly salons, field trips, and studio visits, connect with participants in our ongoing exhibition program, and contribute to the annual Members Show in the fall.
Situated within our Brooklyn space, the program offers a dynamic context that bridges studio practice, curatorial exchange, and public presentation — encouraging artists to expand their work within a collaborative and internationally connected framework.
