The program is open for artists residing in Turkey.

The School of Visual arts will select one artist from the applicants and provide the studio free of charge.

The Moon and Stars Project will provide the airfare, accommodations, and a stipend of $500.

Now in its third decade, this internationally renowned program offers artists an opportunity to work intensively in a private studio, receive individual critiques from faculty, and attend weekly lectures given by guest artists, critics, and gallery directors.

Each participant has exclusive use of a small studio located in School of Visual Arts' Chelsea Building.

Faculty will visit the studios Mondays through Thursdays.

Exposure to the New York art world complements this on-site residency program.

The cutting-edge galleries of the Chelsea art district are within walking distance of the SVA studios.

The program culminates in an open studios exhibition, which enables the participants to present their work to the public.

Applicants must submit their contact information, 20 slides or laser prints of recent works (painting, drawing, etc.), and
