Barrie Cline
This Fellowship is a partnership with Apexart in New York City and is made possible by the Jerusalem foundation. Through the partnership a NY based artist travels to our residency, and one of our resident artists travels to the fellowship in NY. In this unique fellowship developed by Apexart, the artists are not allowed to engage in art or networking, and should only experience the city and its people.
Barrie Cline is the Kelber Fellow at the Harry Van Arsdale Jr. Center for Labor Studies. A homesteader and housing advocate for people battling mental illness in the Lower East Side in the 1980s, she has since developed free or sliding scale participatory arts models for diverse communities, ranging from young graffiti writers in the South Bronx to construction workers citywide. In collaboration with an allied group of construction workers, she formed the Workers Art Coalition in 2014, dedicated to engage in art and movement-building projects that take place the public realm.
