NOLA/NYCBX Research Fellowship
ARCAthens is proud to continue its mission of providing opportunities and support to visual artists, curators, and scholars through its artist residency program. By expanding our scope to include cultural exchange between Greece and the United States, we aim to foster international dialogue, cooperation, and understanding. Our programs are based in three cities – New York City, New Orleans, and Athens – that boast vibrant cultural histories and thriving arts communities. These coastal cities, known for their strategic location and cultural legacy, are ideal locations for our program and provide our Fellows with unique perspectives and experiences. Additionally, as important ports with diverse populations and a mix of different racial and ethnic groups, these cities offer a perfect setting for our program’s focus on cultural exchange and community engagement. Our program provides professional development, access to resources and support, local economic development and community building.
A Unique Two-City Residency in New Orleans and New York City
Our Fellows will experience the vibrant cultural fusion of New Orleans and New York City, where the rich heritage of two unique American cities offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Greek artists and curators to immerse themselves in two communities known for their art and diversity.
New Orleans – Our base will be the legendary Camp Abundance and our Fellows will be able to connect with the larger New Orleans community.
New York City – Our base will be the ARCAthens HQ in The Bronx where our Fellows will be ideally situated to explore all five boroughs while focusing on connecting and engaging with the local Bronx art community.
