Artists in Communities

The University Settlement's Performance Project cultivates new audiences for live performance by reaching out to those who have little access to the arts, and providing opportunities for community members to engage with working artists.

Teaching artists at the Settlement's relatively new Houston Street building, facilitate arts workshops in a variety of disciplines including visual arts, dance and theater.

The Performance Project also has a Curated Rental Program. Selected productions are marketed as part of the organization's season.

The application process for both the Artist-in-Residence Program and the Curated Rental Program is below:
  • Mail or send an email to the arts program curator, Alison Fleminger at afleminger@universitysettlement.org
  • Please include the lead artist(s) bio, resume and one page description of your current project. Highlight how you use the arts to engage with diverse communities.
  • Please provide either links to performance footage or a DVD of a past performance.
  • Please be sure to follow up with a phone call to Ms. Fleminger at 212.453.4532
