Independent Project Residency
Inaugurated in 2022, the Independent Project Residency invites design practitioners to bring their own interests and projects to the Block House on Governors Island. Fellows are selected by a diverse committee of contemporary designers, artists, and practitioners.
IPA Fellows are among the first to stay overnight on the Island since the Coast Guard’s exit in 1996 and are immersed in the interdisciplinary culture of the program. The Residency concludes with a public activation.
