Studio & Research Residency at Amant New York

The Amant Studio & Research Residency Program in New York awards artists from around the world with research-oriented residencies at its campus in Brooklyn. The program offers resources for developing experimental practices across visual arts, cultural theory, performance, filmmaking, and writing. It may help support a long-term research project.

The program is designed for practitioners whose work engages critically with contemporary art and culture. While self-directed, the program fosters sustained dialogue through studio visits and engagement with New York City’s cultural and artistic communities.

Each residency cycle hosts four participants and takes place twice annually, in the spring and the fall. Residents are selected through a nomination process. Amant invites curators, writers, artists, and other professionals in the arts and humanities to nominate candidates for consideration. Please note that practitioners currently based in the tri-state area are not eligible to participate in the program. Unsolicited applications are not accepted.

Residents are provided with an individual non-residential studio at Amant’s Brooklyn campus for the duration of the residency, as well as access to a communal meeting and social space with an adjoining courtyard garden. The program includes round-trip transportation from the participants’ base to New York and back, along with a monthly stipend. While the residency is self-directed, participants are expected to be present and engaged full-time throughout the three-month program. This includes regular use of their studio or workspace, participation in scheduled studio visits and group trips, and interaction with the broader residency cohort and invited guests. Residents are encouraged to seek additional external funding to support their time in New York. Amant can provide invitation letters for funding applications upon request.

During the residency, each participant is invited to develop and present a public program as part of the series For Your Reference. This is an opportunity to engage directly with audiences in New York and to share aspects of their ongoing research. Formats vary widely and are typically shaped by the nature of each resident’s practice, ranging from talks, readings, and screenings to performances, workshops, or more experimental and hybrid forms. In addition, each resident is expected to contribute to Amant’s residency publication, through a written and visual submission that reflects on their time at Amant and considers how the residency has informed or shifted their thinking and practice. Submissions may include fragments of work developed during the residency, offering insight into the research trajectories and materials explored over the three-month period.
