the canopy program 2025-2026

The Canopy Program is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 cohort cycle - led by faculty mentors Amir H. Fallah, Sharon Butler, Catherine Haggarty, Meg Lipke, Clare Grill, and Jessica Dickinson.

The Canopy Program spans ten months and currently has over 120 artists enrolled - showcasing a global community of artists in dialogue. The program is application-based and was founded in 2022 by artist Catherine Haggarty - its aim is to create a serious and consistent environment for learning, collaboration and access to critics and gallerists that artists may not otherwise have. The Canopy Program offers virtual and in person cohorts - allowing artists from around the world to participate, all in person cohorts are held at the Chelsea Studio in New York. Accepted and enrolled artists are offered three curated semesters led by their mentors and each canopy cohort culminates in a pop-up group exhibition at our location in Chelsea, NYC.

In addition, Canopy artists have access to 11 asynchronous faculty through lectures, workshops, and salons - all meant to provide additional perspectives to the cohort experience.

Asynchronous faculty include Sarah Faux, Victoria Roth, Sarah Peters, Will Hutnick, Jennifer Coates, and more!
