RESIDENCIES

We offer tailored artistic residencies.

MOtiVE Brooklyn goes beyond the usual residency. We first meet with the artist and discuss their dreams and needs. Then we build a structure and timeline together that includes supportive services for the residency. These services could include production, dramaturgy, mentorship, accountability, performance opportunities, writing labs, technical support and/or expertise in a specific art form. We believe in giving agency to the artist in designing their own residency, allowing ideas to be realized according to practices of the artist.

MONTHLY SPACE GRANT PROGRAM

Starting in May, MOtiVE will offer month-long space grants to a small cohort of New York-based artists (8-10 artists per month).

The grant includes 26 hours of reserved studio space in the MOtiVE studio at the reduced rate of $260 per month ($10 / hr per studio hour) and 3.3% + $0.30 processing fee for each monthly booking transaction and/or refund.

This space grant is ideal for artists who have an upcoming project / performance and need an intensive time in the studio, wish to host an ongoing class / workshop, want to maintain a daily practice, or are looking for a consistent studio space where their materials can be stored.


Some perks of the program include:

  • Access to our storage unit, so artists can keep their materials in one place during their month-long rental

  • Priority in accessing the booking calendar before the public

  • A familiar and consistent place to practice

  • MOtiVE provides grantees with mentorship and administrative assistance as needed

  • MOtiVE will advertise / boost artists and their upcoming events on our social platforms

  • Flexibility in renting space for 1 month, consecutive months or throughout the year

Applications are open for artists interested in participating for any month(s) between May - December 2024. Acceptance will be on a rolling basis.
