Street venues for NYC Artist Corps
In Fall 2021, in support of the city’s recovery efforts, Street Lab is creating open-air, street venues for sharing the work of hundreds of NYC artists who are recipients of City Artist Corps Grants and who have not yet been able to exhibit their work. The City Artist Corps is a new $25 million recovery initiative intended to support NYC-based working artists who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Over 3000 artists received grants to help sustain their practice during the pandemic and also to exhibit and engage with the public by Oct. 31, 2021. As that deadline approaches, Street Lab is creating outdoor opportunities for exhibitions and workshops by artists who lack a venue, bringing them to communities that are seeking to activate streets.
