VISION:
Our goal is for everyone to grow throughout their time with us, whatever stage an artist is in when they arrive. At Silver Art, growth translates into expanding practice and amplifying impact. For up to 10 months each year, artists in the cohort can devote resources to creating new and different artworks without the impediment of the expense of studio space in New York City. In addition to the free studio space, artists are connected through Silver Art's programming, to curators, artists' peers, mentors, arts professionals, collectors, and thought-leaders.  

SELECTION PROCESS:
We assembled a committee of curators, artist mentors, social justice visionaries, and activists to review the applicants and select Silver Art's 2022 cohort.
