Target Margin Theater, with funding from the New York State Council on the Arts, is excited to continue our STUDIO SPACE PROGRAM this November and December!
We are no longer accepting reservations at this time. Since space and time are limited, we unfortunately cannot accommodate all requests. Please check back in in 2027 for the next iteration of the Studio Space Program. Thank you for your time and patience as we try to maximize this resource.
What is a Target Margin’s STUDIO SPACE PROGRAM?
- The Target Margin’s Studio Space Program provides companies or individual artists up to 100 hours of free rehearsal space at TMT to developing their performance-based work.
- Space will be offered first come, first served (depending on availability).
- The program is offered for rehearsal time only, not workshop showings or performances.
- The program is not able to support individuals or groups looking for a one-off reservation or a rehearsal room for few hours at this time. Participants must commit to using at least 50 hours of studio time by the end of December 2026.
Who is the program for?
- The program was designed for companies and/or artists who need or would benefit from a significant amount of time in a rehearsal space. You could be developing an established project or experimenting with a new idea or exploring your creative process – anything!
- All performance-based artists who can commit to using at least 50 hours of rehearsal space are encouraged to fill out the intake form.
Where is the space?
- Target Margin Theater is at 232 52nd Street in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
- We have a large street level theater space that is wheelchair accessible and two rehearsal studios on the 2nd floor.
- Photos of our spaces and dimensions can be found here.
- Space will be reserved for artists in advance on a first come, first served basis. We will take into consideration accessibility needs, scheduling, and availability of the theater/studios.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I reserve free Studio Space?
We are no longer accepting reservations at this time. Check back in in 2027! - I won’t be able to fill out the form at the time it goes live, can I do it later?
The form will be kept live over the weekend in order to give folks a chance to submit requests. Please note that, because we offer the space on a first come-first serve basis, availability tends to go quickly! - How can I best prepare my form responses for when it goes live?
Please have your preferred dates/times ready to go, with a concise and informational summary of your work and how you intend to use the space. The form will include the following questions:- Contact info (first/last name, company name, email, phone number)
- Number of collaborators
- Please tell us briefly about the project and how you will use the space.
- Are you familiar with the Target Margin facilities?
- Dates and Times
- Are your dates flexible?
- Do you have any access requirements you would like us to be aware of? (Note that both the Pink and Yellow Studios are only accessible via two flights of stairs. Please reach out to us with any concerns or questions.)
- How did you hear about Target Margin’s Studio Space Program?
- I filled out a request, why didn’t I receive free space?
The program is funded by a grant from NYCA and covers 1000 hours of free rehearsal space for artists. We receive many more requests than we can accommodate the program. We will be working hard to schedule as many artists as possible and will do our best to keep everyone up to date on the status of their request. - I missed this round of free space, what can I do?
Although this is the second and last phase of our Studio Space Program for 2026, we will be doing the program again next year! Join our mailing list and follow us on social media to stay in the loop for when that’s available.
