Sculpture Space
Utica, New York, United States
Sculpture Space is an internationally recognized artist residency based in Utica, New York, specifically dedicated to supporting sculptors. Founded in 1976, Sculpture Space provides 20 to 25 artists each year with the opportunity to participate in two-month residencies between February and November. Artists are selected based on the quality and originality of their work by a panel of art professionals. The residency offers a 5,500-square-foot shared studio space equipped with specialized tools and equipment, along with free housing in a shared apartment located close to the studio. Artists receive a modest stipend to offset travel and material expenses, while further financial support may be available based on external funding. Sculpture Space fosters creative exploration and collaboration through its communal environment, with opportunities for public engagement through quarterly Works-in-Progress receptions and informal studio visits by arts professionals. The program’s long-standing reputation and connection to the local community also provide additional exposure for residents.
