6.6.2023
We are incredibly pleased to announce that The Luminary has been approved for a $25,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in support of our residency program.
The Luminary’s residency program supports both national and internationally based artists through fully funded residencies that provide dedicated time, considered collaborations and a supportive working environment. The program is open to all artists, curators and critics, but uniquely supports the research, development and presentation of work that utilizes innovative forms and unconventional structures such as alternative spaces and economies, publications and writing, archives, collaborations, artist-led projects and experimental institutional practices.
