HCX's Lakou NOU program offers Haitian artists a $7,500 stipend to create new work in historic Brooklyn neighborhoods, fostering partnerships with local entities for resources and community engagement.
Artists engage with challenges and opportunities unique to Brooklyn neighborhoods, collaborating with community gardens, nonprofits, small businesses, and cultural institutions, while benefiting from professional development and mentorship opportunities.
The residency spans nine months, allowing artists to develop projects that connect with the community and other residents, emphasizing discussion, support, and cultural preservation as essential aspects.
Interested artists can apply for the Lakou NOU 2024 artist residency program, facilitated by HCX, with a deadline of August 9th for submissions.
