ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE

VISION

Silver Art Projects is pleased to welcome 28 artists as part of its 2024 cohort. As a not-for-profit arts charity that relies upon the generosity of its patrons, Silver Art is supported by its Board of Directors, Advisory Board, donors, foundations, and and granting organizations.

These artists, who were selected by artworld luminaries Sophia Cohen, Derek Fordjour, Marilyn Minter, Everette Taylor, Enuma Okoro, Christopher Lew, Phyllis Hollis, Yuki Terase, and Venus Williams span disciplines and backgrounds and show growth and success in the fields of painting, photography, sculpture, installation and more. Due to the overwhelming response to our last search, the open call for 2024 necessitated an application fee. 700 highly qualified artists applied.

At Silver Art Projects, the selected artists will be given the opportunity to expand their practice and amplify their work without the impediment of expensive New York City studio space. Selected for their extraordinary artistic excellence, need for the studio space and potential to maximize the opportunity, this year’s participants will each receive 500-1,000 square feet of free studio space at 4 World Trade Center, as well as mentorship, peer-to-peer advising, a financial stipend, career workshops and networking opportunities with leading museum directors, curators and other professionals in the art industry – all with the aim of helping the artists build sustainable, successful long-term art practices. Four artists in each cohort come from backgrounds impacted by the criminal justice system.
