From the inception of SPACE, art, dialogue, innovation, and radical hospitality have been our bedrock. We firmly believe that in all endeavors--in artistic creation, in social justice, and in democracy--what we create is stronger when there are more and different perspectives at the table. SPACE provides artists and changemakers with time and space to create vital art and to foster necessary dialogue for lasting change.
More than 2500 individuals applied for 177 slots in 2017, double the previous year. To continue to meet this need, in 2018 SPACE will:
- Expand the season. In February 2018 we held our first-ever Season Extension Residency, increasing our season from 22 weeks to 26.
- Increase financial support for residents. We’re creating a travel fund for out-of-state residents, and committing to zeroing out application fees in the next two years.
- Continue growing our physical space. We’re in the midst of a strategic plan to improve and increase our facilities for residents and staff.
The opportunity we have at SPACE is one that goes beyond a 10 or 20 or 50 year legacy. We are working to ensure that in another 222 years, Ryder Farm will still be a farm, and that on that farm there will be artists and activists and farmers, making and growing things that will radiate outward, outliving us all.
Please support us by making a fully tax-deductible donation to ensure that we progress towards our vital goals of eliminating financial barriers, increasing opportunities, and supporting all voices at our dinner table. Below, we have included a variety of ways to make a contribution.
