trans music archive residency program 2026

Back for another year, we’re partnering with Figure 8 Recording to offer an eight day recording residency for two trans artists / bands.

Two artists / bands will be chosen for an eight day recording residency at Figure 8 Recording in Brooklyn, NY from December 12th through 19th with one artist in each of the two studios at Figure 8. We will provide in house engineers to help efficiently use the space and time.

We will also provide a $1500 stipend for each of the chosen artists / bands to make this residency as equitable as possible.

Purpose

We’re doubling down on our investment in our residency program to provide studio time and recording space to trans artists and to aid and support in the completion of a recording/body of work. After our inbox was flooded with applications last year, we knew we had to do it again.
