Art Omi Residencies 2026
Deadline: October 15th, 2025
Through a competitive jury process, residents are invited to attend Art Omi’s residencies at no cost, except travel expenses. Art Omi offers residents the time and space to hone their own craft while cultivating a vibrant community of artists from around the globe.
Comfortable, beautiful lodgings and dedicated workspaces are nestled among the rolling meadowlands and woodlands of Art Omi’s bucolic 120-acre campus, located in New York’s Hudson Valley, two-and-a-half hours north of New York City. Residents are nourished with fresh, prepared meals and immersed in a dynamic, creative ecosystem flourishing at the intersection of nature, art, and architecture in our Sculpture & Architecture Park.
ABOUT OUR RESIDENCIES
Art Omi offers five distinct residency programs for international artists, writers, dancers, musicians and architects.
The Art Omi: Architecture residency program is the first of its kind in the United States. Art Omi: Architecture invites ten early- to mid-career architects from around the world to develop their work during a two-and-a-half-week residency. Art Omi: Architecture aims to nurture experimentation at the intersection of architecture, art, and landscape.
Art Omi: Artists invites two dozen artists from all over the world, representing a wide diversity of artistic styles and practices, to gather in rural New York each summer to experiment, collaborate, and share ideas. Concentrated time for creative work is balanced with the stimulation of cultural exchange and critical appraisal.
Art Omi: Dance brings together ten accomplished international dance artists for two and a half weeks of creative exchange each summer. Residents experience each other’s creative process and the freedom to play in this collaborative residency program.
Art Omi: Music invites approximately a dozen musicians and composers from around the globe to come together for two and a half weeks in the summer for a uniquely collaborative music making residency.
Art Omi: Writers hosts authors and translators from around the world for residencies throughout the spring and fall. The program’s strong international emphasis provides exposure for global literary voices and reflects the spirit of cultural exchange that is essential to Art Omi’s mission. Art Omi: Writers also hosts an annual Translation Lab, in which English language translators are invited to work alongside the writers whose work they translate. The focused residency provides an integral stage of refinement, allowing translators to dialogue with the writers about text-specific questions.
