mitu’s hybrid arts lab

 menu HYBRID ARTS LAB A New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellowship Mitu’s Hybrid Arts Lab supports trans, non-binary, and women artists working at the intersection of performance and technology.

With a focus on early career BIPOC artists, this program offers studio and creation space, technical resources, training, and mentorship to a small cohort for the exploration, development, and expansion of their practice and a new artwork. The lab culminates in a series of in-process studio showings that invites our community into a conversation about process and innovation.

2023 marks our fourth annual Hybrid Arts Lab and thanks to the generous support of New York Community Trust’s Van Lier Fellowship Program, we will convene a cohort of three artists for ten months. Each artist will receive support to develop an artwork bridging performance and technology. This support includes: a $5,000 unrestricted stipend; six weeks of studio space, equipment, and technology at MITU580; mentorship and guidance from Founding Artistic Director Rubén Polendo; training and classes with guest artists modeling creative uses of hardware and software tools in art-making; and a series of in-process studio showings from the cohort of fellows.
