BRIC is now accepting applications for its 2025-26 BRIClab residency program for New York City-based creatives in contemporary art, film, TV and video art.
The program supports emerging to mid-career artists by providing resources to advance their creative practice, according to a press release.
Selected residents will receive a $2,500 stipend, mentorship, skills-based learning, professional development and documentation of their work. Additional support, including funding, space, equipment access, and media classes, varies by track.
The 2025-26 cohort will showcase their work through public programs in spring and summer 2026.
The initiative, funded by the Ford Foundation and TD Bank, encourages applications from disabled, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ artists as part of BRIC’s commitment to addressing systemic inequities in creative industries.
