Artist Residency Fellowships Available
Contemporary Artists Center
(Troy NY)
The Contemporary Artists Center has recently opened its newest residency program on the campus of the Woodside National Historic Register Site in Troy, NY. Two neo-gothic stone church buildings now house our artist program and welcome artists from all over the U.S. and abroad.
The CAC is located 2.5 hours north of NYC, and is currently accepting applications for the winter season.
DEADLINE November 1
The CAC focuses on emerging and early career artists and accepts applicants who offer quality in their art and encourages diversity of style, medium (2-D, 3-D, 4-D) and concepts.
Our facility features high-ceiling, adaptable studio space open 24 hours a day with some specialized studio facilities, exhibition opportunities, weekly critiques, and free access to all CAC events. The living area includes lofted bedrooms, living room / library, dining room, and kitchen & bath.
The residency program offers artists the time and support to create new work and fosters an environment that encourages creativity, dialog, and experimentation
Fellowships available. Additional funding provided for Upstate New York artists. All residency artists receive some level of financial assistance.

Graffiti, street art, crazy making, whatever you want to call it. There is a code amongst those who do it and live it. Time, effort, scale, is not to be disrespected. It seems that lately many feel that since they are new to the scene or have become "artists" they can tag over your work. Do not do this! Repeat do not this... Its a clear show of disrespect and it will not be well tolerated. Do it once you may get a pass. But do it twice and your work won't last on any wall......
