We are inviting Finnish or Finland-based visual artists, curators and designers to submit their application for the FCINY Residency Programs in New York for 2023. The call for the FCINY Architecture Residency 2023 (taking place in November and December 2023) will be organized by the latest in January 2023. The focus of the residency programs lies in artistic dialogue and cultural exchange in addition to individual artistic research and creative work. Each residency includes housing, access to a local hosting organization, flights, and a monthly working grant of 700 EUR.

The programs are particularly suitable for artists and professionals who are seeking to expand their international network in the US, and who wish to take advantage of the tailored relation-building support each residency program provides. Each residency is conducted in collaboration with a local partner who will provide the artist with support and connections to local networks. Each applicant should prepare to showcase their work/research to New York’s creative community, and actively participate in the activities provided by the residency program.

The FCINY welcomes artists, curators, and other arts professionals with diverse backgrounds and practices to apply. The programs are open for individuals and working groups of two people (the residency apartment is a one-room studio space, and it houses two people willing to share the open studio space comfortably). The selection is based on the motivation letter including a plan on how the applicant is intending to use the residency period in New York, and an interview with the jury. The residency program is open for all Finnish or Finland-based practitioners. Affiliations to member associations are not mandatory for the programs in 2023. We favor applications with a socially responsible stand, and encourage underrepresented groups to apply.
