artist residency program
WORTHLESSSTUDIOS’ Artist Residency Program (WARP) provides state-of-the-art fabrication resources, space, generous funding, and industry-leading project management support to artists as they create ambitious, large-scale sculpture.
This residency embodies WORTHLESSSTUDIOS’ core mission to support boundary-pushing artists to realize visionary projects. WARP supports artists at an important juncture in their careers while embracing the entire creative process from start to finish.
This program is done in partnership with UAP, a leading global design and public art fabrication studio in upstate New York that provides fabrication support: from traditional bronze casting and metal fabrication to advanced digital, robotic, and large-scale public sculpture production.
