2025 Artist Support Programs

Applications are now open.

DISCOUNTED RENTAL PACKAGE (DRP)

With the intention of providing sustainable rental rate discounts, MOtiVE will be offering 12 subsidized rental rate packages each month for April, and May, and June. The packages will be available on a rolling basis beginning on February 28th and ending when all available packages are taken.

The Discounted Rental Package (DRP) is ideal for artists who have an upcoming project / performance and need an intensive time in the studio, wish to host an ongoing class / workshop, want to maintain a daily practice, or are looking for a consistent studio space where their materials can be stored.

DRP Eligibility Criteria:

• Artist working in movement-based practices

• Artist based in New York City

• Artist must commit to renting the number of hours indicated in their package within the month(s) they select.

Additional DRP Program Perks:

• Priority in accessing the booking calendar before the public.

• Access to our storage unit, so artists can keep their materials in one place during their subsidized month.

• A familiar and consistent place to practice.

• MOtiVE will advertise / boost artists and their upcoming events on our social platforms.

• Flexibility in purchasing a subsidized rental package for one, two, or three months.

• Option to participate in the Artist Accountability Program

Discounted Space Rental Packages:

Each month, there are a total of 12 packages available:

26 hours at a rate of $8/hour - 2 artists
20 hours at a rate of $10/hour - 5 artists
10 hours at a rate of $12/hour - 5 artists

*To offset card processing costs, there is also an 3.3% + $0.30 processing fee for each monthly package transaction.

*If these rates are a challenge for you at this time, please reach out.
