The Projects Room at the MilkBar : Our build-out is nearly complete and we hope to begin accepting applications again in FALL 2016.  We expect the new program to be broadly comparable but the details will change.
WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS DUE TO THE MOVE — BUT If you have questions or are interested in being a resident artist or company — please contact us.
Historical information about the projects room program is below. We plan re-start a broadly similar program at our new home in Richmond, but for now the information below is strictly historical.
