NYC RESIDENCY PROGRAM APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Visual artists, photographers and curators from anywhere in the world, including the United States, can apply for the NYC residency program at Deli Grocery.
At this time our program accepts a direct application only.
These residencies are generally between three and twelve months and can be sponsored by governments, corporations, foundations, institutions, organizations, galleries and private patrons. Our residency fee provides each artist, photographer or curator with living accommodations, 24-hour access to a 900 sq ft studio which is shared between up to four artists total, free wireless internet and use of DG common areas.
Unlike typical residency programs contrived by institutional networks we offer a community of Native New Yorker’s and artists that supports and aids our residents in building their own networks in NYC organically.

Addendum for foreign applicants regarding visa application:
Once a contract has been signed between the sponsor and DG, residents should immediately begin the process of securing a visa to enter the United States. The U.S. State Department’s consular website can be checked to confirm visa eligibility and requirements: http://travel.state.gov/
DG recommends making contact immediately with the nearest United States Consulate or Embassy in the resident’s home country. Residents will generally enter the United States on a B1/B2 visa, which is issued for business/tourist purposes. DG will provide a letter in support of the visa application to incoming participants.
