WORTHLESSSTUDIOS’ Artist Residency Program (WARP) provides state-of-the-art fabrication resources, space, generous funding, and industry-leading project management support to artists as they create ambitious, large-scale sculpture.
This residency embodies WORTHLESSSTUDIOS’ core mission to support boundary-pushing artists to realize visionary projects. WARP supports artists at an important juncture in their careers while embracing the entire creative process from start to finish.
This program is done in partnership with UAP, a leading global design and public art fabrication studio in upstate New York that provides fabrication support: from traditional bronze casting and metal fabrication to advanced digital, robotic, and large-scale public sculpture production.
RESIDENT GETS
$5,000 artist stipend
5 to 7 weeks of access to UAP and fabrication curriculum
Project management support
Housing and transportation stipend
Labor support stipend to be used for studio assistants
Press packet materials
Requirements
This program aims to support an artist based in New York City who works in sculpture and would benefit from access to UAP and its curriculum.
All residents are expected to spend 5-7 weeks during the Fall of 2026 working at UAP in upstate New York.
Please note that this residency does not include a presenting opportunity. Applicants should plan for the transportation, storage, and presentation of new work once the residency concludes. A portion of the residency’s financial support may be used to cover these expenses.
Artists applying can’t be currently enrolled in an art-related degree program, nor be planning to attend an art-related degree program in the coming year.
As a WARP artist, you are expected to adhere to ethical and professional standards, including:
Treat all individuals with dignity and professionalism.
Respect the dignity, safety, and humanity of others.
Promote a safe environment and report any risks.
Uphold fairness regardless of race, gender, orientation, or background.
Protect sensitive personal and project information.
Uphold high professional standards in all work and interactions.
