subsidized rehearsal space

Are you a performing artist in need of rehearsal space?

Prioritizing BIPOC artists and performing arts entities from underserved and under-resourced communities, The Clemente’s Subsidized Rehearsal Space Program will provide discounted rentals to artists and entities in New York City, for $10/hour at our 3rd Floor studio space, Room 309.

The days and times the space will be available will be during these hours:

Monday – Sunday 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM, excluding Federal Holidays and weeks when The Clemente uses the space.

The Clemente strives to provide accessible rehearsal spaces for the creative performing arts as a vision and advocacy platform for equitable funding and structural support for culturally specific artists and performing groups in New York. 

The opportunity is open until we reach capacity. Emails confirming booking and rehearsal dates will be sent directly to the registrant and proof of payment will be requested when entering The Clemente building. 

Qualifying artists/companies will have access to:

  • Rehearsal space for $10/hr

  • Maximum group size of 10 individuals

  • All bookings have a 4-hour minimum, including setup and breakdown. 

  • Clemente provides 1 table and 10 chairs

  • Clemente does not provide technical equipment

  • Renters are required to empty the space and restore it to its original condition

  • Please ensure that no items are left behind at the end of your rental, as the studio is a shared space

  • Organization: $ 10 per hour
    Up to 100 hours per calendar year

  • Individual Artists: $ 10 per hour
