Get matched →Haystack’s Open Studio Residency runs from May 23–June 4, 2027. The program fosters a dynamic exchange of ideas among peers, providing two weeks of studio time and an opportunity to work in a community of makers. The program supports approximately 50 participants—from the craft field and across all creative disciplines—with uninterrupted time to work in Haystack's studios to develop ideas and experiment in various media.
Residents can choose to work in one particular studio or move among them depending on their interests and the nature of their work. Studios available include ceramics, fiber, glass, graphics, metals, wood, and Fab Lab. Each studio is staffed by Technicians who can assist with getting settled and acquaint Residents with proper equipment use. Residents are expected to be independent in producing and fabricating their own work and knowledgeable in general studio processes they intend to use. Studio Technicians will not lead workshops or fabricate work for Residents.
Individuals must be 21 years of age or older at the start of the program. Individuals working in craft, art, design, writing, and other creative disciplines—and who are self-directed and focused—are encouraged to apply. National and international artists working in various disciplines are eligible for consideration. Past participants may reapply, but preference may be given to first-time applicants. Only applications for the entire two-week session are considered.
Selection is based on work samples, the nature and scope of the project that will be done during the Residency (if applicable), and the ability to work in a creative community.
