Deadline approaching for The Living Gallery Outpost's Residency Program

Via the EVG inbox...

The Living Gallery Outpost’s mission is to support emerging artists by creating new and exciting opportunities for them to showcase their work. In line with that goal, we are excited to announce our 2018 Residency Program, which will coincide with The Armory Week.

One artist will be selected to use the gallery as their studio for one week. The residency will culminate in an exhibition on the opening day of the Armory Show, March 8, 2018 and a panel of art-world professionals who will provide feedback to the artist on their work and their practice.

Visual artists of all mediums are welcome to apply. We are interested in how you plan on using the space in a creative way. Artists can apply from anywhere in the world but The Living Gallery is not responsible for finding housing for non-NYC residents. All applicants must be at least 18 years old.

Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Jan. 28, 2018.

The winner and semi-finalists will be selected by Feb. 1, 2018.

The Living Gallery Outpost opened last August at 246 E. Fourth St. just east of Avenue B. The Outpost is a sister gallery to The Living Gallery in Brooklyn.

The empty storefront at 246 E. Fourth St. (on the ground-level of the colorful tenement on the corner of Avenue B) has been transformed into a community/gallery space.

The Living Gallery Outpost is an offshoot of the Living Gallery, the Bushwick-based event and exhibit space. Here's more about the Living Gallery and what to expect on Fourth Street (via the Living Gallery website):

The Living Gallery BK was founded in 2012 by artist Nyssa Frank as a welcoming place where artists and creators could manifest their dreams into reality. Since then the venue has hosted art shows, film screenings, spoken word nights, concerts, community events and much more. It was there that the now married couple Joseph Meloy and Alexandria Hodgkins first met. It was their dream to someday open a similar space but they assumed it would have to be someplace outside the city and when they were older and had more financial stability.

The Outpost will have a similar model to the original Bushwick location but with a slant for intimate and special events.

The first event is Sunday with an event called B.Y.O. Art!



Other ongoing events include a vinyl listening party the third Tuesday of every month... plus...
