Hi-ARTS is excited to introduce their 2024 Spring Artist Residency Cohort. Providing artists with time and space, CRITICAL BREAKS supports works at a pivotal point in the development of their work. Joining Hi-ARTS as CRITICAL BREAKS residents are Curtis “Tony” Turney and Cheri L. Stokes. SKY LAB supports artists who center community at the root of their creative development. This spring, Hi-ARTS welcomes SKY LAB Artists Jourdan Ash and Najee Omar.

As the New Year begins to unfold, Hi-ARTS welcomes its newest cohort of residents for its signature CRITICAL BREAKS and SKY LAB residencies. Jay Délise, Germono Toussaint, and two collaborative duos — Zachariah Ezer & Dominique Rider and Brian Quijada & Nygel D. Robinson — join the CRITICAL BREAKS residency, which provides an intensive development process, rehearsal space, and a public offering (performance, experience or showing) of their choice to artists in a pivotal phase of creating new work. Friday Lynton joins as an Artist-in-Residence for SKY LAB, a program that supports socially engaged artists who center community in the development and research of their work, including practitioners who create outside of the traditional studio or theater.
