One Good Work

THE PROJECT

One Good Work (OGW) is a public art residency open to anyone in the world. We are inviting artists to come together to create, simply, One Good Work in any medium.

Last year was a blur of Monastic Winters and Mystic Summers. We explored the Cloisters, designed our own Major Arcana tarot decks, beautified the city (guerrilla style), ran a pirate radio station, hosted our first International Film Festival, and so much more. We engaged with history, community, and the machinery of state.

But this season, we pivot to the Prime Directive: The creation of great works.

We are adopting a structured approach - ratcheting inch-by-inch to help you snatch an idea from dreamland and drag it into reality.

HOW IT WORKS

"The structure and encouragement will continue until morale improves." - H

You can participate from anywhere in the world, though NYC locals are encouraged to join the fray in person. The goal is to create your best, most intentional work to date, with milestones and community to help you along the way, culminating in a show of work this summer!

  1. Sort & Assemble: Join a Workshop based on your medium and interests.

  2. The Research Pathway: Decide on and document the works or subjects in conversation with your piece.

  3. Call Your Shot: Define your project. This can evolve!

  4. Mutual Aid: Meet regularly with peers to discuss progress, critique, and keep the vibes immaculate.

  5. Refine: Incrementally improve your creation until it properly doesn’t suck at all. Just One Good Work.
