KUNSTRAUM Brooklyn Artist Residency 2027: Three-Month Studio, $800 Monthly Fee, December Deadline
A Brooklyn residency rather than a free grant
KUNSTRAUM, an artist-led contemporary gallery and studio network in Brooklyn, New York, is recruiting for its three-month 2027 Artist-in-Residence program. The opportunity welcomes emerging and mid-career visual artists, including interdisciplinary and digital/electronic practice, and offers studio access and professional exchange rather than a stipend-funded stay.
Who organizes the program?
Founded in New York in 2015, KUNSTRAUM has developed a program of galleries, peer exchange, curator visits and exhibitions. Its artist community brings together visual artists, designers, curators, filmmakers and other creative professionals. Residents can engage with studio conversations, salons, field trips and the annual Members Show.
What residents receive
The residency provides a semi-private desk-sized workspace, roughly 49–89 square feet, within a shared loft, with 24-hour access and secure Wi-Fi. Professional benefits include studio visits, curatorial feedback, network events, promotion, and participation in the gallery community. The studio is for working with non-toxic materials.
Residency fee and accommodation
This is a paid residency: KUNSTRAUM's published fee is $800 per month, or $2,400 for a full three-month period. Crucially, the studio is not accommodation. Residents arrange and fund their own housing, travel and any visa requirements. Applicants should budget for New York costs and clarify any additional charges directly.
2027 application dates and materials
The organizer's updated opportunity announcement lists January–March 2027 with rolling review, plus July–September and October–December cycles for which applications are due 31 December 2026. The source also gives application materials: a 200-word motivation and three-month project statement, a 100-word funding plan, portfolio of up to 10 pages, CV of up to five pages and online links.
Official call
Applicants should follow KUNSTRAUM's full current call and confirm available 2027 start terms with the managing director before paying or making travel plans. The residency emphasizes artistic collaboration, not a guaranteed exhibition sale or financial award.
