Since 2012, Sokoloff Arts has been dedicated to telling artists’ stories and sharing their passions. In collaboration with Town Stages, TriBeCa’s premier cultural arts space and event venue, Sokoloff Arts is excited to offer artists a home for the life cycle of their projects, a platform for their next phases of development, and an ultimate pipeline to success.
A female-driven cultural arts institution, Town Stages is a state-of-the-art, flexible performance and event space with a stunning 10,000 square foot storefront facility. With a Main Hall, a Cocktail Lounge and Bar, a Gallery, and many multi-use rooms with a total capacity of 299, Town Stages offers much needed space and production resources for businesses, arts organizations, producers, and families. Creative Fellowship recipients are encouraged to immerse themselves in the bustling energy of Town by working in shared spaces when the venue is partially booked, take advantage of underutilized space between large bookings, and enjoy generous space subsidies for all kinds of projects!
“The Sokoloff Arts Creative Fellowship is dedicated to providing space, perspective, and opportunity. We foster a community where all are welcome and everyone’s biases are challenged,” said Robin Sokoloff, executive director of Town Stages. “We encourage those who feel silenced, marginalized, and otherwise ‘othered’ to share their experiences, and remain dedicated to conversation and community. In our inaugural year, we were thrilled to support more than two dozen artists in a wide range of endeavors and disciplines!”
Part residency, part incubator, and part home base, a Creative Fellowship with Sokoloff Arts offers the ultimate creative freedom to grow within the walls of Town Stages, and beyond.
