Independent Studio Residencies

Independent Studio Residencies offer the opportunity to move and make noise. These residencies focus on those whose projects do not fit in a Leighton Artist Studio and still provide an opportunity for artists to focus on their work in a nourishing environment with fewer distractions and commitments found in a traditional program format.

Residencies include smaller, private studios and rehearsal spaces equipped for performance-based practices, with features such as:

• Dance flooring (Marley/sprung or carpet)
• Small PA system
• Tables, chairs, mirror wall or rolling mirrors
• Height clearance for lifts/choreography
• Pianos and large instruments too large for travel
• Self-recording equipment

Professional recording may be available in our recording studio or performance spaces, pending availability. This would incur a separate fee. If interested, please indicate as such in your application, your preferred recording date, and a brief outline of the project scope.

Dates and Studios will be assigned according to studio availability, requirements and ability to support the project needs. 

Longer residencies may be considered on a case-by-case basis subject to availability.
