The Rosendale Cultural Crossroads Public Art Residency provides an eight week residency grant for artists to create new public art projects for our town, Rosendale, New York. Temporary sculpture, installations or interventions for accessible sites will be considered. Work must be viable for 4 months. This new opportunity is funded by the National endowment for the Arts and is intended to highlight the economic impact artists have in their community.

In addition to designing/creating and implementing new work, the artist must develop opportunities for the public to engage with the work throughout the development and installation of the project. Artists will be matched with a regional artist and business partner to help make connections that will enhance the public engagement aspects of the project.

Rosendale was founded in 1844 to support the cement mining industry. Our mile long Main Street has a river along one side and a steep jumble of rocks, Joppenburgh Mountain, along the other. Bridging the river is a tall rail road trestle that has been made into a rail trail. The rail trail passes directly in front of the WSW studios, which was built in 1886 as the company store for the cement miners. WSW’s studio is midway along the 23 mile trail and the only public access site along the route.

The grant will include:
$2,800 stipend
Up to $2,000 materials
Travel Subsidy
Housing
Technical support
Studio space
Dedicated staff

Notification Date: Applicants will be notified via email by January 15 Residency Length: 8 weeks
