About
The Monira Foundation offers various artist residency programs across multiple locations, including Jersey City, Chicago, and Miami, providing a nurturing environment for artists to explore and expand their creative practices. These residencies offer rent-free studio space and are accompanied by stipends to support artists during their stay, fostering an environment conducive to artistic growth and exposure. The Foundation operates through open calls and is inclusive of all artists, regardless of nationality, provided they have a U.S. Social Security Number. Residencies range from short-term performance-specific stays to year-long engagements for visual artists, offering a variety of spaces and resources tailored to different artistic needs. Participants are expected to engage with the community and participate in Foundation events, enhancing their visibility and professional network. Monira's residencies are particularly beneficial for artists looking for a supportive community and professional development opportunities in urban settings close to cultural hubs. Each residency concludes with opportunities for exhibition or performance, allowing artists to showcase their work developed during their stay.
