Welcome to RRASP, where artists come to create and thrive.

Supporting artists through community-focused residencies and more.

Building a Home for Artists in NYC

RRASP emerged from Rockella Space, a pioneering for-profit studio management company committed to fostering creativity, collaboration, and community among its members and cultural workers. With deep roots in the vibrant artistic hubs of Queens, Brooklyn and in the new Midtown Manhattan location, Rockella Space has become a leader in providing innovative programs that go beyond traditional studio models, offering robust support to its members. Recognizing the growing need to sustain and expand this thriving artistic community, RRASP was founded to carry forward and enhance this mission as a nonprofit organization.

Our Mission

RRASP is a non-profit organization established to support exhibitions, residency programs, and cultural collaborations across the fields of art in New York City.

Its mission is to foster the circulation of independent, high-quality cultural initiatives, support emerging talent, and serve as a catalyst for dialogue between creative and local communities.
