Art Omi: Architecture invites applications for its 2026 residency program, welcoming ten early- to mid-career architects from around the world to its campus in the Hudson Valley. Located two hours north of New York City, Art Omi offers a unique setting for architects to develop their work within a vibrant, international community.
Apply now for a two-week residency taking place from May 28 to June 15, 2026. Applications are due by October 15, 2025 at 11:59pm EST. Visit artomi.org for full details and to apply.
Selected through a free and open application process, residents are chosen based on the strength of their proposed project and portfolio. The program provides dedicated time and space for architects to work independently, culminating in an informal presentation at the residency’s conclusion.
Eligibility & application requirements
Applicants must submit a proposed project they intend to pursue during the residency. Projects may be conceptual or practical, new or ongoing—but must not be client-driven or directed. A final visual presentation is required and can include drawings, models, collages, renderings, or other formats.
Eligible applicants must have been professionally active for at least five years following either licensure or a master’s degree in architecture. The program is open to architects in practice or academia (with a design teaching concentration), from anywhere in the world.
Space is limited and a diverse and international group is sought, consistent with all Art Omi Residency programs and aligning with the mission of the Art Omi: Architecture program.
The 2026 cohort will be selected by a jury composed of practicing architects, educators, and curators, with an emphasis on disciplinary diversity and international representation.

Art Omi forms community with creative expression as its common denominator for artists and the public alike to celebrate the transformative quality of art.
Art Omi: Exhibitions is a laboratory for artists and architects to challenge conventions, take risks, and shape urgent cultural conversations. We champion artists and architects at critical moments of their careers, offering a platform to test new ideas. Through exhibitions, events, and publications, we foster projects where playful irreverence meets critical inquiry. Our program is designed to build community and provoke dialogue, self-reflection, and experimentation. We serve as an open invitation to all.
Art Omi: Residencies offers five discipline-specific residency programs for international architects, artists, dancers, musicians, and translators and writers. Since our founding in 1992, we’ve hosted more than 2,400 residents from over 114 countries. We invite the public to engage with our talented residents at free events throughout the year.
Art Omi: Education engages people of all ages with contemporary art and ideas in a stimulating and dynamic environment through programs including camps and weekly workshops. Through creative exploration, experiential learning and making, collaboration, and critical thinking, our arts education programs—beloved by local families and children and praised by educators for their pedagogical innovation—instill understanding, appreciation, and lifelong curiosity in the arts.
