Works & Process, a non-profit performing arts organization that champions artists and their creative process from studio to stage, announces its first-ever Residency Open Call. Applications from New York City-based artists will be accepted from March 18 through April 22, 2025 for out-of-town residencies that will take place from October 2025-May 2026.

Works & Process residencies center artists and their specific needs, providing them with focused time and space that is critical to develop work. Since 2018, Works & Process has aggregated resources to provide New York City artists with fully funded out-of-town residencies. In Summer 2020, during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Works & Process pioneered the bubble residency model, and this has grown into an expansive residency program with a network of 15 partner venues in Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont. To date, Works & Process has produced 100+ residencies that have supported 700+ artists. Works that have been incubated through these residencies, and in many cases commissioned and premiered by Works & Process, have been recognized with Bessie Awards, National Dance Project grants, and toured nationally and internationally with the U.S. State Department.

Artists who create movement-based work are invited to apply for a residency to start a new project or continue developing an existing work in one of Works & Process’ week-long, out-of-town residencies. Works & Process residencies include industry-leading fees of $150 per artist/per day (up to $8,400 for a maximum of 8 participants), 24/7 studio access, on-site housing, a transportation stipend, and health insurance enrollment access. Each residency will culminate in an open rehearsal or showing for the local community. The projects will also be considered for Works & Process presentations in New York City.
