The tallest building in the world when completed in 1913, the Woolworth’s signature neo-Gothic spire still holds sway in downtown’s skyline, its delicate latticework accentuated by blocky profiles of surrounding skyscrapers. Financed by Frank W. Woolworth’s five-and-dime empire, the “Cathedral of Commerce” meshed state-of-the-art modern invention, including the tallest single-track elevator and self-contained climate and electrical systems, with opulent old-world details like an underground Turkish bath and an elaborate marble and mosaic interior design. The Woolworth is located on Broadway at Park Place near City Hall. For views of the studio space, please visit <http://www.lmcc.net/Residencies/Workspace_Woolworth/WS_Woolworth_Studios.ht ml>http://www.lmcc.net/Residencies/Workspace_Woolworth/WS_Woolworth_Studios. html. For building information, please visit the following links: <http://www.skyscraper.org/tallest/t_woolworth.htm>www.skyscraper.org/talles t/t_woolworth.htm <http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/medny/buttowski/>www.fordham.edu/halsall/med ny/buttowski/ In uncharacteristically raw, open-format space on the 33rd floor, generously donated by The Witkoff Group, twelve artists will be invited to work on new projects that actively engage with the environment, the exceptional views, and the aesthetic dynamics created by the site. There are 360<pi> views onto the former WTC site, Battery Park and the harbor, the East River and Brooklyn, and the full expanse of Broadway as it weaves uptown. Like World Views, LMCC’s former residency program in the World Trade Center, as well as the recent New Views residencies in the World Financial Center and DUMBO, Brooklyn, this program encourages an artistic/political/ theoretical consideration of location and context and continues LMCC’s mission to position artists in lower Manhattan, create ties between the arts and business communities, and support the careers of artists in all fields. What the residency offers LMCC Workspace: The Woolworth Building is open to emerging and mid-career artists working in all disciplines including painting, photography, sculpture, video, installation and new media. Artists must be living within reasonable distance from the studios during the residency term. There is no live space.

Decisions are based on artistic merit, career stage, proposed projects or ideas, and, as this is a site-oriented residency, how their work and proposals/ideas might relate to the Woolworth Building and the environment of lower Manhattan.
