The Studio Museum in Harlem has launched an open call for applications to its 2026–27 Artist-in-Residence programme. The year-long residency, running from November 2026 to October 2027, offers a $50,000 stipend, private studio space, curatorial mentorship, and culminates in a public exhibition for a small cohort of selected artists. The programme is specifically geared toward supporting artists of African and Afro-Latinx descent.
This initiative is a cornerstone of the museum's mission and legacy, having supported over 150 artists since its founding in 1968. It represents a significant career development opportunity, providing substantial financial support and institutional exposure for emerging and established artists within a globally recognized framework dedicated to amplifying these artistic voices.
