The chashama Studio Program at the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT) is putting 2 studios at the disposal of Residency Unlimited. Thanks to this partnership, Residency Unlimited has invited New York based artists Anne Percoco and Edward Schexnayder to occupy the studios for 6 months each in 2010. In 2011, we have extended an invitation to Andrew Mount for another 6 months residency at BAT.
chashama is an NYC arts organization whose mission is to support artists working in all media. chashama adopts vacant properties that are donated by their owners and converts them into theaters, galleries, studios, and window performance sites. chashama then re-grants this space for free or at heavily subsidized rates. Since 1995, chashama has transformed more than 40 vacant properties and has given more than 6,500 artists access to space. ”
