The Lower East Side-Rotating Studio Program provides two FREE six-month residency sessions to 8 visual artists a year, open to underrepresented, emerging, and mid-career artists from all cultural backgrounds and disciplines.
Beginning in January 2011, Residency Unlimited and Artists Alliance (AAI) joined forces to support each other’s programs with the following arrangement: Residency Unlimited provides studio visits and specific networking support to the artists participating in the Lower East Side-Rotating Studio Program in the Spring and Fall. As the counterpart, AAI grants Residency Unlimited the use of its gallery space, CUCHIFRITOS, in the Essex Street Market as part of their Art(lnter)Action program.
Through this arrangement, in July/August 2011, Residency Unlimited programed 2 exhibitions of new work by RU international artists in residency Fred Forest and Özlem GÜnyol and Mustafa KUnt.
For the Spring 2011 session, RU supported AAI recipients Hong Seon Jang, Louise Barry, Noa Charuvi and Judy Simonian.
For the Fall 2011 session, RU supported AAI recipients namely Ari Tabei, Molly Dilworth, Jan Baracz and Kyoung Eun Kang.
