Join Midtown Alliance x MODA as City Council member Amir Farokhi leads a discussion about the Midtown Studio Residency.

This program — launched in 2021 — makes space for arts entrepreneurs to bring their practices and businesses to Midtown. It also supports the local arts economy and provides opportunities to share new talent with the Midtown audience.

The current cohort of artists-in-residence includes:

• Demetri Burke

• Darya Fard

• Sayma Hossain

• Kelly Taylor Mitchell

• Masud Olufani

• Deanna Sirlin

• Kristan Woolford

Each of these artists was awarded free studio space for a year, a stipend, and an opportunity to showcase their work and expand their professional networks.

Join us as we welcome Midtown Alliance’s second cohort of Artists, learning about their practice and what they wish to accomplish while in residence. You’ll also hear from Midtown Alliance about how prioritizing the Arts contributes to vibrant public life and how this program gives Midtowners access to more arts and creativity.

WHEN:

• 5:30 PM: Doors open. Come in, grab a drink and a light bite, and say hello to your neighbors.

• 6:00 PM: Program begins.

• 7:30 PM: Program ends‌.
