Black [Space] Residency offers a physical container for imagination, inquiry, activity, and rest for Black creatives working across a myriad of disciplines. Our Artist-In-Residence has access to the working studio, staging gallery, and production labs for 2 months and are held with care by a small group of master artists and curators who offer mentorship and instruction in visual arts including digital printing, printmaking, photography, ceramic arts, and woodworks. 

Operating at the intersection of abundance, well-being, safety, and self-determination, our work is rooted in the love of Black culture as a means of creating and offering space without any expectation of performative or production output from Black artists. Black [Space] Residency resource partners include Artist As First Responder, the Museum of the African Diaspora, the East Oakland Black Cultural Zone, and the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive, and is located at Minnesota Street Project Studios in San Francisco, CA.
