A LIVING ART HOUSE
PART RESIDENCY, PART SALON, PART STUDIO, PART PRODUCTION SPACE, AND PART EXPERIMENT IN HOW ARTISTS CAN LIVE, GATHER, AND MAKE CULTURE TOGETHER.
AN INTIMATE SUMMER RESIDENCY FOR ARTISTS, DESIGNERS, WRITERS, PERFORMERS, MUSICIANS, AND CULTURAL SHAPERS BUILDING WORLDS OF THEIR OWN.
BUILT FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND THAT CULTURE BEGINS NOT ONLY IN INSTITUTIONS, BUT AROUND TABLES, INSIDE ROOMS, AND THROUGH THE DAILY RITUALS OF MAKING.
THE HOUSE
1324 House is a private Brooklyn townhouse being built, deliberately, into a living creative institution. This inaugural season is for the culture builders who want more than just a room. It for those seeking time, structure, beauty, conversation, and real space to make something.
At its center are questions of home, sanctuary, belonging, constraint, structure, transformation, and creative survival.
THE SUMMER COHORT
The founding summer cohort is for self-directed artists and cultural builders who:
Are already inside an active practice
Want to live alongside other artists in a shared house
Value dinners, salons, critique, documentation, informal exchange, and a communal rhythm around the work
Can be communicative, considerate, and steady inside a shared home
Want to shape a founding cohort rather than arrive after the culture is already set
Are comfortable entering a pilot season that is intimate, evolving, and founder-led
— 1324 House is not simply a residency listing. It is a place where artists live in proximity and create from the inside out —
THE RESIDENCY
What the season holds.
Residents receive a private room, access to the shared life of the house, and a light residency structure that gives the summer shape without turning it into a programmatic blur.
The point is not to fill every hour. The point is to create rhythm: time to work, space to return to, sessions to reflect in, and a house that holds the work with intention.
Rhythm
Light but intentional residency programming
Monthly community dinners
Weekly or biweekly Sunday sessions/check-ins, depending on the cohort
Occasional salons, critique gatherings, or open studio moments
The possibility of participating in a final salon, open studio, exhibition, performance, dinner, presentation, or house gathering
Living Art House – A space for daily practice, reflection, and gathering.
Artist Residency – A brief, intentional period devoted to your work, exploration, and exchange.
Salon & Dinners – Intimate salon nights and shared meals for conversation and creative communion.

Founder's Note
ARTISTS NEED MORE THAN SPACE
They need atmosphere. They need witness. They need rooms where ideas can be spoken before they are finished, where work can be tested before it is formalized, and where creative life is treated as something worthy of structure, beauty, and care.
I wanted to create a house with standards and warmth. A place where one could live, work, gather, host, document, and return to the work with more clarity.
This first summer is intentionally small. To join the founding cohort is to enter early: to help set the tone, habits, rituals, and cultural standards of the house that comes after.
1324 House begins as a residency, but the larger vision is a living art house. A home-as-institution, though intimate, for artists building worlds of their own.
Behind the House
1324 House was founded by Shaina Marié as a living art house shaped by visual culture, hosting and worldbuilding.
The house has grown into a space for salons, dinners, shoots, performance, and creative exchange. In 2026, it hosted Sanctuaries, an intimate exhibition and gathering that transformed the home into a site of art, memory, and collective presence. It has also opened its rooms in partnership with The Salon, extending the house's circle of artists, collectors, and cultural guests.
The summer residency is its inaugural cohort: an invitation to work, gather, and create in proximity. The intention is that each resident leaves more inspired, more witnessed, and more connected to the work they came here to make.

Why is it called a residency contribution instead of rent?
Because the contribution covers more than occupancy.
It supports the private room, studio space, shared house access, utilities, Wi‑Fi, programming, community dinners, and the ongoing life of the house as an artist-run space.
The residency is grounded in real housing costs, but the framework is broader than a standard rental.
Yes. Utilities and Wi‑Fi are included in the monthly residency contribution.
Yes. The residency rooms are furnished.
Residents are welcome to bring personal items, bedding, clothing, materials, tools, and anything necessary for their practice, as long as it fits respectfully within the shared home.
There is one that can be delivered unfurnished if applicable to an eligible resident.
Can I apply for only one month?
Yes. One-month stays may be considered. Two-month stays may also be considered depending on availability and fit.
Priority still goes to early applicants and those seeking the full summer.
Shorter approved stays are offered case by case, depending on timing, space, and overall fit.
Do I need to live there, or can I just use the space as a studio?
The primary residency is designed as a live/work experience.
Some flexible arrangements may be considered, depending on the artist, the room, and the needs of the house.
What is the weekly commitment?
Residents are expected to participate in the shared rhythm of the house.
This may include weekly or biweekly Sunday sessions or check-ins, monthly community dinners, and monthly or occasional salons, critique gatherings, or open studio moments, depending on the cohort.
The structure is intentionally light so residents have room to actually make work.
Residents are welcome to bring personal items, bedding, clothing, materials, tools, and anything necessary for their practice, as long as it fits respectfully within the shared home.
There is one that can be delivered unfurnished if applicable to an eligible resident.
Is there a final exhibition?
The residency may culminate in a final salon, open studio, exhibition, performance, dinner, presentation, or house gathering, depending on the residents and the work developed during the summer.
The final format will emerge from the residents and the work itself.
Can artists from outside of New York apply?
Yes.
Artists from outside New York are welcome to apply, especially if they are looking for a temporary creative base in Brooklyn for the summer.
Possibly, depending on the room, the fit, and the needs of the house.
The residency is primarily structured for individual residents, but exceptions may be considered.
Guests may be allowed with advance communication and respect for the house.
Because this is a shared artist residence and working space, overnight guests, events, and gatherings must be discussed and approved in advance.
Pets are considered case by case.
Because this is a shared house, any pet would need to be compatible with the space, other residents, and the residency structure.
What kind of artists are you looking for?
The strongest fit is someone independent, respectful, emotionally mature, and serious about the work, someone interested in helping shape the founding culture of the house.
This is best for artists who want real community and do not need heavy hand-holding.
How do applications work?
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Priority goes to early applicants and those seeking the full summer.
Spaces are offered as the cohort comes together.
Selected applicants will be invited into conversation. Acceptances are made based on fit, timing, discipline, availability, and alignment with the house.
What happens after I apply?
After you submit your application, selected applicants will be contacted for a conversation.
If accepted, residents will receive next steps, including deposit and payment details for either full-summer or shorter approved stays, move-in information, house expectations, and residency agreement materials.
Is this the first residency season?
Yes. This is the founding summer pilot season of 1324 House.
Residents joining this cohort are helping shape the first living version of the house, its culture, its rhythm, and its future.
What is the larger vision?
1324 House is being built as a long-term artist sanctuary, salon house, residency, studio, and creative institution.
This summer pilot is the first public expression of that larger vision: a house where artists can live, work, gather, make, perform, document, and build culture together.
