The five artist-run galleries on the 319 Building’s 2nd floor are hosting an open call for artists-in-residence in their spaces, starting January 15, 2021 (AUTOMAT's residencies will begin February 17, 2021). The pandemic has made it difficult to safely present exhibitions in our spaces, and at the same time, many artists have been displaced from their studios due to the pandemic’s economic effects. In a time of isolation, we hope that making these spaces available gives inspiration and opportunity to realize new work, new ideas, and new (virtual) connections.
