About the Artists in Residence Program
The Shipyard Trust for the Arts created this program in 1996 to attract more neighborhood artists who have historically lacked access to such opportunities. Many resident artists rent their own studios at the end of the residency and are given priority on a long waiting list for these coveted affordable workspaces. This program has contributed significantly to neighborhood representation among the Hunters Point Shipyard Artists, creating a more welcoming environment for community members eager to engage with the arts.
