Petronio Residency Center Artist History

Awards are for early stage project research and development with no deliverables or public performances required. National dance leaders and artists choose awardees through a nomination and panel process. Awardees receive full room and board for their group with chef prepared meals plus travel stipend and artist fee.

Created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Retreat & Restore is an open call for NYC artists with a commitment to BIPOC and LGBTQ individuals. Awardee and up to five collaborators receive a week long residency, including full room and board, chef prepared meals, and unlimited use of house and studio which allows unfettered time to artists and their collaborators. Stipends for lead artist and travel are included.

PRC works with partners in New York City, the Hudson Valley and beyond to support residencies for artists with projects in development which lack resources for needed physical space and time to create. The aim is to bolster support for dance artists to create fluid, well-resourced pathways toward production and presentation.
