OPEN CALL: 2026 Artist-in-Residence Program
About This Opportunity
CPR – Center for Performance Research’s year-long Artist-in-Residence (AiR) Program seeks to support NYC-based artists working within various perspectives of contemporary dance, performance, and time-based art. In selecting its AiRs, CPR values experimental approaches to content, form, and aesthetic, and encourages risk-taking, interdisciplinarity, and the unexpected. The year-long residency creates an open environment for experimentation, exploration, embodiment, and exchange, and will provide a cohort of eight (8) artists with research and presentation opportunities, subsidized rehearsal space, curatorial and project support, and peer dialogue.
Restrictions
Eligible applicants have previously had their work publicly presented, and have not been selected as a CPR Artist-in-Residence in the last 5 years. Individual artists, companies, collaboratives, or collectives may apply, but each applicant/application will be considered as a single residency. The residency is exclusively for New York City-based artists. CPR cannot provide US visas, travel, accommodations, or other living expenses in connection with the residency. Current undergraduate students are not eligible to apply.
