PS21 is dedicated to fostering and nurturing emerging artists through short & long-term residencies year-round. Our Hudson Valley located facilities are ready to host you.  We encourage artists-in-residence develop their complex ideas, projects, and collaborative work while living in our spacious 11-bed guesthouse on PS21’s peaceful, rambling grounds.

Our Black Box theater’s flexible configuration is designed for intimately-scaled productions and the incubation of novel creative approaches and concepts. The flexible floor plan, state-of-the-art LED lighting, sophisticated sound system, green room, dressing rooms, kitchen, and convenient artists’ housing have established PS21 as a sought-after venue for residencies by music, theater, and dance solo performers and ensembles. PS21’s support for artists in residence encompasses the use of our resources, including our theater, dance barn, and landscape, technical and administrative services, and the opportunity to present work-in-progress showings. Resident artists are essential to realizing key elements of our mission: fostering creativity; encouraging collaboration among artists who work at the intersections of dance, theater, film, video, sound, and performing arts; and connecting us with the ever-evolving national and international arts landscape.

Access to the arts enlivens, enriches and builds communities.
