Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency supports artists and researchers working on media arts projects. The short-term residency is open to applicants from Buffalo and across the United States who are seeking resources, time, and support for ongoing projects or the creation of new work.
Residents have tailored access to facilities, equipment, technical consultation, from Squeaky Wheel, as well as our partners Buffalo Game Space, The Foundry, Mirabo Press, and Silo City. Residents present on their work together in a public event, present a workshop for the Squeaky Wheel community, and participate in tailored activities, such as field trips, critiques, among others.
We aim to support our residents’ careers and continue our relationships after the residency has concluded. Former residents have been invited to present exhibitions, performances, screenings, among other activities. Please review the Workspace Residency page and Applicaiton Guide to learn more and apply.
