NARS accepts rolling applications year-round from internationally based artists for three-, six-, and twelve-month Brooklyn residencies aligned to quarterly seasons, with decisions in three to four weeks ($35 fee; 2026 program fees from $9,900 for three months). US-based artists apply instead through bi-annual spring and fall open calls, which include one full fellowship covering program fees — the fall window historically runs mid-August to mid-September. Confirm current portal status on the apply page.

An anonymous reviewer described a controlling management style and limited staff autonomy, and said other former residents shared negative experiences. On facilities: studios were described as noisy and poorly maintained, with little shared space and few resources offered to artists (for example, artists asked to supply their own materials).
