About Our Organization

Art on the Block NYC was established with the dual purpose of making art more accessible to the public and offering practicing artists a venue to create and display their artwork. Art on the Block NYC offers artists a short-term residency opportunity in a NYC storefront during which they will transform the space into their studio, exhibition space, and public programming venue. The artist will be on-site during the entire residency (during business hours) working so that community members can walk in and engage with a working artist. Additionally, the artist will facilitate free art-making programs for youth, families, and adults.
