NOOSPHERE ARTS’ RESIDENCY AWARD
Dedicated to bringing art from elsewhere to New York, NOoSPHERE Arts’ all-volunteer artists’ team keeps seeking new ways to accomplish our goal: to offer the U.S. audience access to current art from other countries and to bring creative people together for artistic cross-pollination and transnational collaborations.
Ever since our inception in 2011, NOoSPHERE Arts has repeatedly worked with Mothership NYC to stage public arts events in Brooklyn. Located in Greenpoint, this community of international creatives is a combined live-work space and presentation arena with a mission very much in line with our organization’s: “to support and promote artists across multiple disciplines through residencies, public shows and collaborative opportunities; build sustainable transnational artist networks; and help retain creative forces in New York City.”
On the occasion of NOoSPHERE Arts’ 7th anniversary, we are pleased to announce a new program in collaboration with Mothership NYC — the annual NOoSPHERE Arts Residency Award: Once a year, we will offer a month-long residency free of charge to one talented international artist. Selected by a committee of peers, the award winner will spend their time on board Mothership NYC developing a creative project for presentation to the NYC audience under the aegis of NOoSPHERE Arts.
The current application period is Feb 4-March 16, 2018.
