artist - in - residency

Conceived as a “residency without walls”, the Artist-In-Residency Program will enable pt.fwd to assist artists with needs-based financial support during the creation of a new work, and encourage community participation in the creative process.

pt.fwd strives to support art without racial, gender, accessibility, academic, economic, or geographic boundaries. The Artist-in-Residency Program is designed to increase access, remove barriers, and provide equitable consideration for artists from historically under-resourced groups. All eligible artists are encouraged to apply.

Through the Program, we will add public performances to our annual calendar, provide critical early-stage financial support to ambitious artists, and create new opportunities for community members to directly engage with contemporary art-makers.

Applications are currently closed.

Please subscribe below to be notified about upcoming residency opportunities.

To fulfill our missions, pt.fwd offers free audio equipment - including a sound system, microphones, and amplifiers - to community-building actions such as meetings, solidarity events, block parties, and gatherings.

We follow the example of LA Audio Solidarity.
