Get matched →Every summer, Byrdcliffe's Artists-in-Residence program provides over 60 visual, literary, and performing artists creative time within the historic natural setting of Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, one of the earliest utopian and continuously operating arts colonies in America. Community and connection are core principles, and artists from all backgrounds and all stages of their career are invited to apply. Each session hosts approximately 10 visual artists, 2 ceramic artists, and 5 artists in the literary or performing arts fields.
Byrdcliffe offers opportunities to engage in practice shares, local excursions, community events, open studios, and exhibitions at Byrdcliffe's Kleinert/James Gallery the following year. Communal residencies provide a welcoming environment to connect with fellow artists, build professional and creative relationships, and socialize within a vibrant interdisciplinary community.
The main criterion for acceptance is artistic excellence and demonstrated commitment to one's field. Open to artists at any stage of career working in any discipline, based anywhere in the world. Artists may apply individually or as a team (each member must apply and be accepted individually).
