Residency Unlimited
Founded in 2009 as a nonprofit tax-exempt organization based in Brooklyn (NY), Residency Unlimited (RU) supports the creative process and promotes exchange through its unique residency program and year-round public programs. Moving beyond the traditional studio model, RU forges strategic partnerships with collaborating institutions to offer flexible and customized residencies designed to meet the individual goals, needs and visions of local and international artists and curators. RU is particularly committed to promoting multidisciplinary practices and building lasting connections between residents and the broader arts community.
When the Beautiful distress residency initiative was set up in 2014 at Kings County Center Hospital in Brooklyn, RU was invited to join forces. RU provides network and technical support to the selected BD artists who spend 3 months in residency at KCHC. RU also organizes public Talks and Screenings where the BD artists can present their projects to New York audiences.
