Artist Residency
Selected artists receive year-long rent-free studio space.
In DUMBO, Brooklyn, the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program is an artist residency and studio program established in 1991 as the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation Space Program. It provides selected artists with year-long rent-free studio space. The program was renamed in 2014 to honor Marie Walsh Sharpe and recognize sponsorship by the Walentas Family Foundation. Residents work in studios and participate in open studio events, including an in-person weekend held in 2022. The program announces resident artists and awardees annually, with the 2025-2026 recipients receiving studio space in DUMBO. Its resident community includes artists working across contemporary practices, while the program's public-facing activities include opportunities to visit artists' studios during scheduled open studio events.
