History

The International Studio Program (ISP) was founded in 1994 in TriBeCa, Lower Manhattan.^[8] 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 (ISCP) 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.^[9] ISCP’s programs are currently housed in a former and historic factory built in 1901.
