LMCC's Artist Residency programs respond directly to the immediate needs of the artistic community, and promote the development of the artistic work. These residencies are available to artists working in all disciplines, via open-call applications or nomination processes.
The studio spaces are located in temporarily donated spaces throughout Lower Manhattan and in our Arts Center at Governors Island. These programs are free to participating artists.
Arts Center Residency
The Arts Center at Governors Island hosts year-round residencies, providing artists with studios, shared spaces, and professional development during an eight-month session.
Rehearsal Week
LMCC’s RehearsalWeek program offers free studio space to dance and movement artists in New York City, supporting a week-long intensive rehearsal period as part of our commitment to providing creative development opportunities.
Workspace Residency
LMCC's Workspace is a nine-month residency for emerging artists, fostering creative development, experimentation, and career growth.
Extended Life
The Extended Life Dance Development Residency program extends the lives of ephemeral, essential works of dance, and advances the creative lives of the artists themselves while convening in research and learning around contemporary concerns in the life cycle of dance making.
