Residency Program
New Art City's residency program provides virtual space, mentorship and a stipend to artists making work which engages marginalized identity or involves collective or facilitatory practice.
The aim of the New Art City Residency is to offer funding and technical resources to artists with interdisciplinary practices in new and traditional media, for whom showing work on the web presents technical or financial barriers. We are interested in facilitating both virtual-first installations, virtual exhibitions of existing work, and hybrid exhibitions which don’t follow a conventional format.
What We Offer
- Access to unlimited New Art City space to realize your project
- One month of weekly tutorial sessions with the New Art City team
- Scheduled 1x1 meetings with established artists in our community
- Opening on the New Art City homepage, Instagram and newsletter
- Access to a Discord channel with current / former residents, advisors, alumni
- $500 USD stipend
Who Should Apply
- Women, especially Black women and women of color
- Trans, non-binary, and queer people
- People with disabilities
- People who have never been to art school, shown in a gallery, or applied to a residency before
Past Residents
Luca Lee
Brooklyn, NY
Luca Lee is a queer journalist and a transmedia artist from Chile based in New York, whose practice springs from the multitude of approaches of Extended Reality, 3D, 2D, and sound art. His work both confronts and interconnects different narratives around resistance, otherness, and control, and at its core, explores the relationship between speculation, identity, and worldbuilding. As a researcher, he is interested in exploring accessible approaches to both XR and human-AI collaboration that expand possibilities for fiction and non-fiction storytelling.

Heesoo Kwon
San Francisco, CA
Heesoo is a multimedia artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2017. Her practice centers around an autobiographical feminist religion which she instituted, called Leymusoom. She facilitates collective ritual performances with followers of her religion, and uses avatars of her female ancestors, 3D scans of significant personal spaces, and 3D rendered virtual worlds to process her own experiences with gender, patriarchy, and generational memory. She constructs a virtual utopia in which digitized memories become sites of metamorphosis and communion with ancestors, while supporting her followers in the creation of their own personal Leymusoom.
