THE FIRST OPEN STUDIO WEEKEND AT OUR NEW BROOKLYN LOCATION
JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, MAY 9, 7-9pm
ISCP
1040 Metropolitan Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11211
ISCP hosts Open Studios twice a year to give art professionals and other audiences access to the program’s artists and curators from around the world. Free to the public, the Open Studios weekend presents recent artworks and projects by the participants in the residency program, providing an exclusive peak of the production, process, and personal archive of 27 artists from 20 countries. Founded in 1994, ISCP has hosted more than 750 artists and curators whose participation in the program have resulted in substantial career growth, while contributing to the diversity of New York’s international arts community. ISCP’s program is designed to connect residents to local institutions, key professionals, and a broad range of international visitors, while introducing New York audiences to global contemporary art practices.
ISCP is the first major art institution to move to East Williamsburg, an area housing one of the largest concentrations of artists worldwide. Unfortunately, this lively community has received very little international attention, and the neighborhood
provides very few opportunities for artists to meet – and even fewer for the residents of East Williamsburg to interact with the art and artists.
ISCP hopes to be that meeting point. We are now able to present exhibitions, talks,film screenings, and other events and exchanges to benefit the resident artists, the visiting art professionals and the local audiences. Open Studios marks the beginning of a considerable expansion of ISCP’s mission, involving a revised residency program, new collaborations, international visibility, and neighborhood outreach.
Relocating to East Williamsburg not only provides an appropriately platform for this ambition, but ensures the long-term sustainability and flexibility of ISCP’s activities.
