The 2026 Create Change applications are open! Apply today.
The Laundromat Project invites all NYC-based artists, activists, neighbors, designers, organizers, healers, storytellers, and cultural producers to apply for the 2026 Create Change program as we explore social practices through a community engagement lens. The 2026 Open Call marks a milestone: 20 years of community-rooted visioning and the launch of a new two-year residency. The theme for this milestone year is Resonant Futures: Time as Echo, Memory, and Motion.
