APPLY FOR SWING SPACE: lmcc.net/swingspace/apply
You need space.
We've got it.
Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's Swing Space program is the link between downtown's unused real estate and the performing and visual artists who need that space to develop, create and present their work.
In partnership with downtown landlords, we make vacant space availableto artists, curators, arts groups and cultural organizations on a temporary basis for projects. Swing Space artists and arts groups are also eligible to apply for stipends ranging from $300 to $3,000 to support project costs. The spaces we offer have included rehearsal space for dance and theater companies, studio space for visual artists, and unconventional performance and exhibition space for public projects.
Proposals are accepted through an open call and reviewed by an independent panel of artists and arts professionals. We received hundreds of applications in response to our last open call, and were able to place nearly 40 projects in rent-free spaces.
Attached to this e-mail is a Swing Space opportunity listing with more information on the program for posting and general distribution.
