Membership    We offer four kinds of studio membership at BAG: Open studio, Semi-Private, Full membership, and Private  See our Membership page for details and applications.

Residencies    At Brooklyn Artists Gym, we are committed to providing artistic access to those who might otherwise be left in the margins.  Our low-cost membership is one form of access, but for those with special circumstances, we have developed three programs:

Our Single Parent Membership Program is made possible by the BAG Fund, a fundraising effort to provide 6-month open-studio memberships for two single parents who would otherwise not be able to afford space in their lives for their artwork.  Although all parents sacrifice for their children, for those who shoulder the financial burden alone, making art can be one of the first things to go.  Our program seeks to offer these hardworking artists the physical space, the mental respite, and the artistic community that they so deeply deserve.

Our Recent Graduate Residency Program is aimed at helping recent BFA and MFA graduates find a foothold in the artworld after leaving school.  We provide ten recent grads with six months of reduced rate membership, and inclusion in our ‘Introductions’ exhibition in December 2011.  Participants will receive all the benefits of full membership, including inclusion in two of the Salon Series shows, monthly critiques, and figure drawing discounts.  Our grads will give back to the community – and get a peek into the administrative end of the art world – by volunteering in the office or gallery for 4 hours a month.
