Recess' mission is to support the creative process of the contemporary artist by providing a space for productive activity and a platform for a partnership with the public. Free of charge and open to the public for half of the artist' work time, Recess facilitates every-day interactions between artists and the public in order to promote the productive space of the working artist as a site of valuable visual and intellectual interactions. Because the space is open to the public and free of charge, artists may engage with their audience in a manner specific to their creative goals, using Recess as a studio, stage, and/or experimental platform. Artists have access to their space for the full duration of their residency and are expected to work on a daily basis or the equivalent of at least twenty hours per week. Recess provides a small stipend. No entry fee.
