NLS Group Residency Awardees

 

The New Local Space's (NLS) Group Residency program has welcomed four new artists. Celine Choo Woon Chee of Trinidad and Sheldon Green, Michaella Garrick, and Mark Robinson of Jamaica are the recipients of the program's awards. The residency provides the four artists with studio space, work stipends, and support for their practices through a network of visiting artists. This fosters a culture of sharing and learning where artists may connect with one another and learn the skills they need to advance their practices.
