A_NY Artist Residency is a nationally juried, stipend-based award supporting the creation of new work over an 8-week period, culminating in a solo exhibition in Austin, Texas. Founded by Michael Reisor of REISOR.TEAM at Compass Real Estate, the program is informed by the shared cultural dialogue between New York City and Austin. The inaugural cycle is focused on producing a strong, well-supported body of work and a high-quality exhibition, while establishing a clear standard for future iterations.
