The Fire Island Residency is the first artist residency in the United States exclusively for artists identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, intersex, two-spirit or queer. This internationally recognized program is now in its 12th season in the secluded beach community of Cherry Grove, New York, an historic LGBTQ+ settlement of Fire Island. Emerging artists will share a live/work space for a four-week program that includes studio visits with, and public lectures by, renowned leaders in contemporary art, scholarship, activism, and curation.
