We’re inviting individual artists and small artist collectives who could use dedicated space and time in a professional photo and video production environment to apply for a short-term residency at Little Church Studio in Yonkers, NY (askmbuya.com/studio).
Selected artists will receive 10 days or up to 80 hours of studio access, scheduled flexibly over a four-month period. This is an opportunity to develop new work, experiment with ideas, and take advantage of our large, light-filled production space.
