The Studio is located in downtown Utica, New York, in proximity to light industry, and various fabrication shops. The facility consists of 5,500 square feet of open studio, and one 400 square foot private studio for special projects. An outdoor work pad is equipped with a 50' monorail hoist. Depending on the scale of the work, a maximum of four artists can be accommodated at one time. The selection is made by the Sculpture Space Review Committee and a rotating guest panelist in January.
Primary criteria are quality, originality, and potential for growth.
The deadline for application is December 15th of each year. Artists are expected to stay for a full 2 month work stay and are given a key to the studio with access to the facility 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Studio Manager assists with an introductory orientation, acts as a liaison with suppliers, and advises on technical problems by request. Artists are responsible for their own materials, specialized tools, fees for work done outside the premises, and for an assistant should they require one. Sculpture Space can accommodate a great variety of projects both in terms of materials and scale, and we will discuss each case individually.
