Hello New York!

A professional development residency for artists who have recently relocated to New York City or plan to, with a focus on the city's LatinX community. Over two weeks, up to twenty local and international artists meet the galleries, institutions and arts professionals who make a career here possible — alongside practical sessions on grant writing, self-representation and navigating the city's funding landscape.

Tuition is covered and a stipend is provided, varying by edition. Accommodation, local transport and meals are not covered.

The Nomadic

Our signature program, and a research residency that moves: each year The Nomadic settles into a different regional art scene. Each year we select up to eight curators, depending on the edition, for a fully-funded immersion in a regional art scene. Daily studio visits, institutional meetings and readings on local socio-political history, hosted by the curators and institutions who work there.

International flights, accommodation and some meals are covered.

Special Projects

Initiatives built around specific opportunities rather than a fixed calendar: the CPR² storefront residency in Williamsburg, The Apartment in Buenos Aires, a touring film festival, and the CPR Exhibition Award — whose 2017 edition was selected by Rirkrit Tiravanija.

These programs have concluded. They are kept here as a record of what CPR has run.

Support CPR

Every program we run is free to attend.

CPR's residencies are paid for by public arts agencies, foundations and people who believe access to the art world should not depend on who you already know. If you would like to help keep that true, consider making a gift.
