Triangle Arts Association

The Artists' Workshop, created in 1982, is a two-week studio intensive for an international roster of 24-30 artists. Designed to maximize exchange, stimulate new ideas and foster experimentation and dialogue, the workshop is essentially a two-week art bootcamp, where accommodations, meals and studio workspace are prov...ided, free of charge. Throughout the two weeks, Triangle organizes studio visits from several prominent art critics, historians, gallerist, writers and artists. Past visitors have included Mary Cerruti, Alana Heiss, Kathleen Gilrain, Michael Fried and the late Clement Greenburg. Two panel discussions are organized, one of which is open to the public. The workshop culminates in an Open Studios Day Exhibition which typically has a high attendance. Each year, a jury of artists, critics, and staff or board, selects the group from a large pool of international applicants. The workshop is not an artists' colony. Studio spaces are designed to be open and in a communal setting. Discussion with peers and visitors is considered an important part of the experience. The workshops are held every 2 years therefore the next workshop will take place in 2008. The International and National Residency Program was created in 2003 to fulfill the need for more studio programs in New York City. Located in DUMBO, Brooklyn, the studio program moved to its current location in 20 Jay Street in 2004. Artists are provided with a free spacious studio ranging from 400-800 square feet. All studios have windows and receive ample natural and indoor lighting. In addition, each studio is provided high speed Internet service from a T1 cable. Artists have access to wood shop equipment and technical assistance. National artists are eligible to receive a materials stipend. Each residency session includes Open Studio weekends with mailings and pubilicity and the possibility of an temporary exhibition. In addition, Triangle organizes visits from critics, curators and other art professionals. Read More
