This year, we honor the success of the justice-impacted artists who have been residents at Silver Art: Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter, Russell Craig, Jesse Krimes, Jared Owens, Rowan Renee, and Sherrill Roland.
We will be highlighting the voices and achievements of each one of these visionaries. Last year, we honored the legacy The Art for Justice Fund and Agnes Gund, and this year it’s a privilege to shine a light on the artist themselves.
Don’t miss the opportunity to have cocktails in the studios with our inspiring 2024 cohort: 28 artists on the 28th floor of 4 World Trade Center. Dinner ticket buyers will then be whisked away to the 71st floor with a surprise host and the most stunning view with a program filled with compelling stories of how art changes lives and minds.
Our DJ afterparty returns this year bigger, and longer, with star DJs soon to be announced.
This is a party with a purpose: to raise funds to support our mission of empowering artists through generous studio spaces and supporting thriving practices in lower Manhattan. Your support is an investment in the future of art.
Since our inception in 2019, we've hosted nearly 100 artists in a year-long studio experience that resources and helps them realize their creative and professional dreams. We support artists whose lives have been impacted by the justice system or whose voices have been marginalized by forces in contemporary society. What's more, we offer them these studios at no cost to them, and we do this in the most inspiring place to make visionary work – the 28th floor of 4 World Trade Center – due to the incredible generosity of Silverstein Properties.
The results of the program are impressive. Residents boast a track record which stands out and shines because they're able to show their work to and eventually be represented by some of the most celebrated galleries, museums, and art collectors in the world. Every resident in the 2023 cohort has had their art featured in a show or featured by a prominent institution, due in no small part to this remarkable program.
