With the support of Howard Gilman Foundation, Staten Island Arts is launching the 2023-4 Performing Arts Residency Cohort (PARC) for performing artists.
Donor Name: Staten Island Arts
State: New York
Borough: Staten Island
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 04/17/2023
Size of the Grant: $6,000
Details:
This program will support the creative practice of 10 performing artists living and working in Staten Island through the establishment of a 6-month residency cohort. This residency opportunity does not focus on project creation, and does not come with space, but rather focuses on nurturing each artist’s creative practice through peer mentorship and professional development.
The PARC program will support individual performing artists across dance, theater, and music at any stage of their careers. Participating artists will be required to attend monthly cohort meetings from September 2023 to February 2024 at the Staten Island Arts offices. The meetings will serve as space to share more about your creative practice and process, including working ideas, challenges, and needs. This model aims to break down the siloed community structure in Staten Island across different forms of expression and bring more support to creative practice without an explicit focus on outcomes or products.
Funding Information
Awarded individual artists will receive $6,000 in support of their creative practice. These funds may be used to support project creation, but that is not a requirement in this grant category.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old, not a full-time student, and must be a Staten Island resident.
