Dactyl Foundation residency program offers artists and scholars living accommodations and (limited) working space for either the summer, fall, or spring term. Recipients may apply for renewals up to one year. With housing provided (one of the greatest needs of artists and scholars in the New York area), residents are better able to focus on their artistic or scholarly pursuits. But more importantly, perhaps, residents will enjoy an inspiring environment and opportunity to closely interact with leading scholars and artists on a daily basis. The residency is onsite at Dactyl Foundation in SoHo. Residents are invited by the President and Board. No applications are accepted.
