Plum Lime

New York City, New York, United States

The Plum Lime Residency, offered by NYC Crit Club, provides a unique opportunity for artists to immerse themselves in their practice within the vibrant Chelsea Gallery District of New York City. This residency, available in Winter, Spring, and Summer, awards one artist a large private studio for 4-5 weeks, facilitating a deep dive into creative work. Residents benefit from studio visits with invited gallerists or curators, an open studio event, and features on NYC Crit Club's website and Instagram.
