ARTISTS RESIDENCY
The Art Omi International Artists’ Residency offers visual artists three-week residencies in the month of July. The Arts Center is located approximately two and a half hours north of New York City in the historic Hudson River Valley. Artists are provided with room and board for the three-weeks. Studio facilities are set among the 300 acres of rolling green hills. The program includes a critic-in-residence who facilitates an ongoing dialogue in studio visits, as well as day visits from dealers, curators, artists and critics from New York City. The residency session concludes with an Open Studios event to which members of the art world from both upstate New York and New York City are invited. Artists pay for travel, materials, and donate a work of art created during the residency to the Art Omi Foundation Collection.
