The ArtBuilt Studio in the Park residency began in 2015 in partnership with the

About the Parks:
Stapleton Waterfront Park, connects the Stapleton neighborhood and surrounding
neighborhoods in Staten Island with access to the waterfront. Opened in 2016,
the Stapleton Waterfront Park was created as part of the multi-phase development
of the Homeport, a 35-acre decommissioned U.S. Naval Base on the north shore of
Staten Island. Built simultaneously with the neighboring housing and commercial
development, the public park includes grass and landscaped areas, benches, water
fountains, a fish cleaning station, lit walkways, and a newly constructed tidal
wetlands cove. Future phases of development will further encourage pedestrian
and bicycle traffic in the Stapleton neighborhood, strengthen the area’s climate
change resiliency, and facilitate connections to the formerly underutilized
waterfront.

Thomas Greene Playground, is located in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn,
and is bounded by Third Avenue, and Nevins, DeGraw, and Douglass Streets. The
playground is named after Thomas Greene (1911-1988), resident of Gowanus Houses
who served as the president of the Tenant Association, and who was a dedicated
community leader. This small neighborhood park is full of all sorts of sunny day
activities for local families and people of all ages. Plentiful picnic tables
make space for those eating or relaxing outdoors, while those who’d prefer to
run around use the two basketball and four handball courts for more active
recreation. In the summer, the adjoining outdoor Douglass-Degraw pool opens up
for all the area’s swimmers to enjoy.

Studio in the Park residency
The Studio in the Park residency is a publicly-engaged arts residency that is
rooted in place, in the park, and in the local community. This residency is best
suited for a project that has gone through a previous iteration in the local
community, and/or demonstrates clear ideas and actions to interface with the
public. If this is a brand new project, the resident will need to describe in
detail in their proposal how they will work directly with the surrounding
communities and cultivate local partnerships.

The resident will be provided:
A mobile studio space for 6 weeks situated within the artist’s assigned park.
The light-filled mobile studio offers electricity, air conditioning, wi-fi (site
dependent), and ample wall space.
A total stipend of $3000 inclusive of art materials.
Support from ArtBuilt, Queens Museum, NYC Parks, and community partners for
public engagement, event production and promotion.

The resident will commit to:

 * A minimum of 15 hours studio work per week, including at least one weekend
   day per week.
 * Public access to studio during predetermined times.
 * Collaborating on a minimum of 2-4 public programs during the residency with
   community partners, including the Opening Event and Culminating Event.
 * A meeting with ArtBuilt staff 5 weeks prior to the beginning of their
   residency for basic onboarding and confirming the project plan and schedule,
   and brief weekly check-ins.
 * If the project changes from the original proposal, then the artist(s) will
   re-submit a revised proposal (with 2 weeks for time to review).
 * A meeting to be schedule within 2 weeks after the end of the residency for
   evaluation and debrief process.

Selection: In consultation with local stakeholders, a panel of arts
professionals will review applications and select residency participants. The
panel/jury will include Queens Museum staff, ArtBuilt staff, and NYC Parks
public art staff. Selections will be announced in early May 2019.

Eligibility:

 * Artists who are working in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking,
   photography, multimedia, installation, public art, participatory art,
   socially-engaged art and arts-based research, performance-based visual
   expression, folk and traditional cultural practice.
 * Artists who are residents of New York City—from any of the five boroughs—and
   who have resided in the City for at least one year prior to the application
   deadline. Artists must reside in NYC during the entire residency period.

 * Project Name
 * Artist Name(s) and contact information
 * 2 References: Provide name, relationship, email address, and phone number
 * Statement of Intent (250 words max): Describe how you are a social-practice
   artist and/or any experience you’ve had working directly with communities
