Get matched →Byrdcliffe's Historic Cottage Residency invites artists across all disciplines to join a long-standing artistic community on campus this coming summer. Nestled at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, the program offers rustic, single and double occupancy artist cottages originally built at the dawn of the 20th century. Artists are exposed to their natural surroundings and should expect to encounter local flora and fauna during their stay.
Open to artists of any career stage based anywhere in the world. Artists must apply and be accepted individually.
No expectations are held toward the artist. Cottage artists are welcome to join all summer programming, including open studio events (4 total), art practice shares, historic art colony tours, field trips, studio visits, group hikes/swims, and informal group activities. All artists are welcome to exhibit work in the AiR show at Byrdcliffe's Kleinert James gallery the year following their residency.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Artists must bring all tools, setup, materials, and mediums required for their practice. Artists must have cars or other transportation for the duration of residency for grocery and laundry purposes.
