INITIATIVES
Open Jar Studios works closely to support the artistic community by providing opportunities for subsidized studio rental and support.
SUBSIDIZED STUDIO RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES
The Space Subsidy Program provides affordable, accessible rehearsal space to writers, directors, choreographers, and other creative artists at highly subsidized rates.
Grants are provided to rehearsal spaces so they can, in turn, offer studio rentals to qualifying artists at rates between $5-10/hour, allowing artists to focus on their creative work. LEARN MORE
The Broadway Community united to help during the COVID crisis by transforming the studios into a PPE factory, manufacturing hospital gowns to NYC public hospitals and employing over 400 members of the theatre community during the pandemic. www.broadwayreliefproject.com
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Each year, Open Jar Studios grants up to 500 hours of studio space and resources to assist BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ & Special Needs artists through the BROADWAY INCLUSION PROJECT. The project's mission is to assist individual artists and small organizations with developing and/or presenting their work or even starting a new business.
Open Jar Studios is proud to have been selected to participate in Dance/NYC’s New York City Dance Rehearsal Space Subsidy Program, focused on making affordable rehearsal space available to dance makers, made possible by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. LEARN MORE
