International Studio & Curatorial Program
International Studio & Curatorial Program is a contemporary art institution that runs an international residency program and related exhibitions and events based in Brooklyn, New York. ISCP's exhibitions, talks, screenings and lectures generally focus on introducing New York audiences to work produced by international artists. The residency program has hosted more than 2,000 artists and curators from 62 countries, including the United States.
The International Studio Program was founded in 1994 in TriBeCa, Lower Manhattan. The governments of Sweden, Denmark, France, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Poland, and the Asian Cultural Council joined the initiative shortly thereafter. In 1999, the organization added curatorial residencies, and became the International Studio & Curatorial Program with the Trust for Mutual Understanding sponsoring a curator from Czech Republic. In 2001, ISCP relocated to Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan and in 2008, ISCP moved to East Williamsburg, Brooklyn and increased its capacity to 35 studios. ISCP’s programs are currently housed in a former factory built in 1901.
