SOHO2O Gallery Chelsea is a non-profit artist run gallery that has been promoting the work of

women artists since 1973 through gallery exhibitions and public programming. As part of our

continued commitment to the arts we have implemented a 3-month studio residency program for

visual artists.

ABOUT

The studio space is located at 547 West 27thStreet, in the heart of the Chelsea art community of

New York City. It is a private studio space that measures 26'x9'. The studio has 13' ceilings and

over 40' of workable wall space. The setting offers a community of art professionals and

commercial as well as non-profit galleries and art spaces. The studio's proximity to the

contemporary art center makes it a convenient place to see renowned exhibitions in the

neighborhood, as well as arranging studio visits with gallerists, critics and curators.

We will select artists for residencies for the 2013 season. Please state your preference in the

statement portion of your application. Jan.-March / April – June / Oct.-December

What the residency offers:

•Three-month studio residency. Access to the studios 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

(*Occasionally artist will need to coordinate use with scheduled gallery events.)

•Promotion of the artist and gallery program through a printed postcard, as well as

visibility on the SOHO20 website and in our email newsletters which reach 8000+

viewers.

•A gallery hosted artist talk, as well as opportunities to present works to curators, critics,

arts professionals, and the general public.

•Monthly gallery receptions where artists are encouraged to present their studio and work.

Note that the studio residency at 547 W. 27thStreet is for work use only. There is absolutely no living

space allowed.
