Participating groups include: Safe Haven Incubator for Musicians NYC, the Artistic Freedom Initiative, ArtistSafety.net, Residency Unlimited, Westbeth Artists Housing, PEN America’s Artists at Risk Connection (ARC), and Fordham University.

Westbeth’s programming is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State. Westbeth is supported in part by an American Rescue Plan Act grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to support general operating expenses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
