James Clements Curated For The Woodward Residency

Scottish actor, writer and theatremaker James Clements has been curated as an Artist-in-Residence as part of the 2024 Woodward Residency program.

The program curates cohorts of artists and creative professionals in the fields of literary arts, visual arts, design, music, architecture, multi-disciplinary and other arts. Artists-in-Residence receive building access at the 467 Woodward Avenue, a former textile mill in Ridgewood, New York, to develop original projects, as well as networking and engagement opportunities with a community of working creatives.

The Woodward Residency also includes public programming and other events and gatherings at the space.
