January 2020 at LMCC

Looking Forward
We're back to work on another fantastic year at LMCC! Be sure to look out in 2020 for many artist opportunities and announcements– including the opening of applications for LMCC's beloved residency program, Workspace, on January 15, 2020; and announcements of our 2020 arts grants recipients in February.

Later this spring, we'll share our upcoming experiences for audiences, including the River To River Festival and our second public season of exhibitions, participatory installations and workshops at LMCC's Arts Center at Governors Island.

We can't wait to see you and hear from you soon!
