The New York Art Residency and Studios (NARS) Foundation International Artist Residency Program supports emerging and mid-career artists and curators working across all disciplines through three and six-month residencies. The program is open to both International and US-based artists, creating a shared space for artistic dialogue and international cultural exchange for an extended period of time.
The NARS Foundation Exhibition Program presents compelling and innovative work being produced on a local, national, and international level by emerging and mid-career artists and curators today. The Main Gallery and Project Space are located in an industrial building amongst our residency studios, which allows for a unique opportunity to present and experience contemporary artwork within a work-space environment. The presence of artists’ studios also allows for further dialogue and exchange between artists and curators.

The NARS Foundation collaborates with local schools and organizations to develop educational programs to engage and inspire youth and their families through interactive arts programming.
