Residency Opportunity

ORIGINS Room to Grow Residency Applications due August 13, 2021

For each yearlong session up to three Black artists, makers, designs, and/or craftspeople from the Pittsburgh region are selected to participate in the Room to Grow Residency (R2G). Whether emerging or established, these creatives demonstrate the momentum and enthusiasm required to maximize this year-long residency. While in the space coordinated through the R2G Residency, participants may also access other resources provided through the ORIGINS and its parent program, Bridgeway Capital’s Creative Business Accelerator.
