Launched in 2000, Smack Mellon’s Studio Program provides six artists each year with a private studio, fellowship, and access to a fabrication shop and media lab. We participate in DUMBO Open Studios annual events, as well as private visits from curators, critics and gallerists. Current artists in residence are Camel Collective, Rachelle Dang, Jes Fan, and Van Lier Fellows Chantal Feitosa, Stephanie Germosen, and Gina Goico.

Smack Mellon programs are also made possible with generous support from The Roy and Niuta Titus Foundation, Robert Lehman Foundation, and Exploring The Arts. In-kind donations are provided by Materials for the Arts, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs/NYC Department of Sanitation/NYC Department of Education. 

Space for Smack Mellon’s programs is generously provided by the Walentas family and Two Trees Management.
