MISSION
The WORKS Artist-in-Residence Program is a non-profit, project-based initiative that supports early and mid-career artists by providing access to a large-scale metal fabrication facility at the Powerhouse Arts Building in Brooklyn. Located within the Workspace11 architectural metals workshop, the residency offers artists expert technical support and unique resources to develop their creative projects.
WORKS seeks to foster global collaboration and dialogue by bringing together artists from around the world. The program aims to create a space where creativity can thrive across cultural boundaries, promoting international exchange and global citizenship.
As the cost of living in New York City rises, access to affordable creative space has become increasingly limited. WORKS aims to restore this access, offering a vital platform for artists who might otherwise lack the resources to create and innovate in one of the world’s most dynamic artistic hubs.
