Abrons’ AIRspace program offers time-based residencies to emerging and mid-career artists and cross-disciplinary curators, providing free workspaces, opportunities to present/exhibit works-in-progress, and curate exhibits and performances in the Abrons’ galleries and theaters.

Each year the Abrons awards residencies to five visual artists. Beginning every September, residents are provided a studio for 11 months within the Abrons facility. Throughout the residency, meetings and studio visits are also arranged with critics, curators, artists, and other art-workers.

The program provides a range of career development opportunities throughout the residency, including educational work within the Abrons education and gallery programs, an Open Studios weekend, and this culminating group exhibition. Residents are selected by a juried panel of professional artists, critics, curators, and Abrons staff.
