The Icelandic Art Center is pleased to announce an open call for applications for a three-month studio residency at the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York. The residency will take place from June – August 2026.
The program offers a spacious private studio that the artist has 24-hour access to. The institution organizes regular studio visits by curators, art professionals, visits to museums, galleries, and exhibition spaces, as well as lectures.
The residency at ISCP provides a strong international network, whether it involves international artists and curators, museum professionals, journalists, or others working within the field.
The grant is intended for the studio residency, not for living expenses. The grant is funded by the Visual Arts Council.
The preliminary selection of applications will be handled by the Visual Arts Council, while the final selection is made by the ISCP’s professional committee. The application deadline is May 19, 2025. You can apply here.
