Shani Richards @shani.richards just wrapped up her Shani Richards @shani.richards just wrapped up her Studio Workspace Residency with WSW! While on-site, she focused on experimenting with silkscreen printing and exploring imagery of Sojourner Truth. Richards plans on recreating these prints on a smaller scale to screenprint them on metal, creating wearable art of these historical images.
Chotsani Elaine Dean @chotsanielainedean recently Chotsani Elaine Dean @chotsanielainedean recently joined WSW for a one-week McKnight Foundation @mcknightfdn Fellowship Residency exploring type in our letterpress studio. Dean’s practice is deeply invested in tracing and being in dialogue with the history of material and aesthetics specific to her own ancestry and lived experience. A significant part of her work is rooted in quilts made during the period of early European colonization of North America through the post-antebellum period. Stitched on, and, eventually off, cotton plantations by enslaved and free African Americans, these quilts signify an enduring communal practice that Dean uses as an anchor for her ceramics practice.

We are pleased to announce that Women’s Studio Wor We are pleased to announce that Women’s Studio Workshop is one of sixty organizations across New York state to be recognized with a NYSCA Reserve Fund Grant from New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) @nyscouncilonthearts and New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) @nyfacurrent. 

As the national arts funding landscape shifts, WSW is focusing on financial sustainability and resilience. Establishing a Reserve Fund is essential to protecting our progress and ensuring that we can respond to unexpected challenges such as rising operational costs, economic downturns, or emergency repairs without disrupting our core programs.

The NYSCA Reserve Fund Grants program was established in 2025 to help New York State-based nonprofit arts organizations to establish a reserve fund or build on an existing reserve fund. We are so honored to be among the first recipients of this vital program!
