We’re obsessed with two things: building community and supporting emerging artists & makers. That’s why we’re launching the Community in Residence Program at Artists & Fleas West in Williamsburg. Through this program, we partner with local curators, collectives, and tastemakers to bring together a rotating group of emerging makers, workshops, and more for a limited-time residency within our Williamsburg market.
Each residency is shaped by a selected curator, who brings together a thoughtfully assembled group of creatives united by a shared point of view, aesthetic, or community. Together, they transform the West Side of Artists & Fleas Williamsburg into a dynamic platform for discovery – introducing our shoppers to new voices while creating a truly communal experience.
We’re especially interested in groups that invite shoppers, neighbors, and the wider community to learn a new creative skill, connect with others, or simply create a space to gather. Have an idea that brings our values to life? We’d love to hear it.
