The Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program, one of our neighbors in DUMBO, announced the artists they’ve selected for the 2017 residencies last week. It’s a highly selective program, and this year they had 13oo applications for 17 spots. We know a slew of talented artists who didn’t make the cut, so we were wondering about the 17 who did, and we’re pleased to report that there are plenty of painters in the mix. Here are some images of their work and links to their websites for more information.
The Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program has announced their 2017-2018 artists and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

We’re excited they’ll be AFC’s neighbors at 20 Jay Street in DUMBO.
