2019 Byrdcliffe Residencies

Byrdcliffe Artist Residencies offer uninterrupted time and space for artists of all disciplines to work in a creative community on our 250-acre Catskill mountain historic campus just two hours north of NYC. Writers, musicians, and visual artists are all encouraged to apply -  supported disciplines include ceramics, weaving, darkroom/digital photography, video, painting, sculpture, musical performance and composition, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry among others. 

5 Month Seasonal Residencies and 1 Month Residencies are offered. 

5 Month Residents live in one of Byrdcliffe’s eight private cabins as an autonomous live/work space. Each cottage varies in its size and structure and is able to accommodate 1-2 people. Individuals, couples (minimum one working artist), and collaborative/non-collaborative artist duos are encouraged to apply. Please note that Byrdcliffe unfortunately is unable to accommodate children at this time.  See complete cabin listings, including photos and a floorpan, to determine individual suitability by visiting the following link: http://www.woodstockguild.org/artist-residencies/5-month-residencies/
