ABOUT THE PARENT/ARTIST SPACE GRANT RESIDENCY

The 2018 Parent/Artist Space Grant will be awarded to a total of two artists who are parents of preschool age (0-4) children, and are trying to meet the challenges of being an artist and a parent. In addition to a supportive environment to work in, BAX will provide 50 hours of free rehearsal space and a $300 childcare stipend. Rehearsal hours can be used at any time of the day, seven days a week. Please note: May and June, space is available 7 days a week 9am-10:30pm. There is more availability Monday-Friday, 9am-3pm. In July and August, BAX can only provide weekday evening and weekend space.  Rehearsal space will be available in any of our four rehearsal spaces located in the BAX BUILDING at 421 Fifth Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Parent/Artists are also invited to join Summer and Fall Space Grantees in an informal summer showing Tuesday August 7 at 7:00 p.m.
