The closing date for all 2027 applications is Friday, July 31st, 2026.
We have updated the format of our applications this year by creating separate applications for each of the four general disciplines in which we offer residencies. All applicants will still have the option to have their work viewed by one additional reviewer in a separate field.

Application Review Process
Applicants will be scored by a selection panel comprised of creative professionals; residencies will be offered based on the panel’s scores and recommendations with an emphasis on inclusivity and diversity.
Crosstown Arts is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity for all persons regardless of race, sex, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and disability.
