Artists in residency

A quarterly initiative that invites visual artists, creators, and curators who are interested in intersectionality, community engagement and social activism through art. It achieves this by providing studio space for three months; cultivating professional development opportunities such as studio visits and critical feedback meetings; facilitating community programs with the artists’ work; and finally, presenting an exhibition of the artists’ work towards the end of their cycle.

our strategy

  • Artists who are interested in intersectionality, community engagement, and/or social activism through art

  • Participants will have access to our incubator makers space and guidance from Street Theory’s network to help with the artists’ creative process.

  • Artists will have designated time and space to produce and finalize their project. Street Theory will assist the artist to produce a final residency exhibition.

  • There will be a final gallery opening and celebration for the artists and project participants. The artists will engage with the community through artists talks or panel discussions in conjunction with the exhibition.

Street theory’s passionate advocacy for racial equality and equity within fine arts and design industries has directly helped bipoc artists gain the needed recognition in order for them to move on to the next level of their artistic journey.
