Steps To Apply
What Is Artist Certification?
If you are an artist, and are looking to apply with the Artist preference, you will need a certificate issued by the City of New Rochelle. You do not need to make a living as an artist in order to become artist certified. The leasing team at The Atelier can help you with this process.
As defined by the City of New Rochelle zoning code, an Artist is:
An individual who practices one of the fine, design, graphic, musical, culinary, literary, technological or performing arts; or an individual whose profession relies on the application of the above-mentioned skills to produce a unique creative product; e.g. an architect, craftsperson, chef, photographer, teacher of art/music/dance, or other qualified individual, as certified by the Municipal Art Commission.
In order to be considered for artist certification, applicants need to present the following along with their application:
• Artist Resume
• 3 Letters of Recommendation (reflecting artistic skills/talent/work)
• 3-5 Representative examples of artwork
