Summer Residency - Wassaic Project (Due June 1)
Summer Residency - Wassaic Project
Deadline: June 1st, 2026
The Wassaic Project accepts proposals for our 2027 Residency program, which includes the Winter Residency program (Jan – April 2027) and the Summer Residency program (June – September 2027). This call is for individual artists, collaborative teams, groups of two or more individual artists, and artists applying through our Family Residency program.
The Wassaic Project cultivates and supports the community for emerging and professional contemporary artists, writers, curators, filmmakers, and other creatives. Housed in historic, landmark buildings, the residency program offers ten artists each month the opportunity to live and work in the heart of a rural community. The Wassaic Project seeks artists working in a diverse range of media who want to produce, explore, challenge, and expand on their current art-making practices while participating in a community-based arts organization.
We will not be holding separate Summer and Winter Residency open calls this year. Instead, we will be holding one Artist Residency open call for the entirety of 2027. On our SlideRoom application, you will be able to specify which sessions you’re most interested in joining us for. Applications will be open from March 23 to July 1, 2026.
Residency Fee:
We offer our residency on a sliding scale fee of between $0 to $900 (the fee is per artist/collab group/artist team/family). As an artist-run space, the Wassaic Project relies on artists’ contributions to help support and sustain our programming and organization. The residency fee covers: semi-private studio space(s), private room in a shared house (artists participating through our Family program receive a private house), access to our wood shop, print shop, and kiln, staff support, and programming such as our visiting artist program, artist talks, studio visits, open studios, artist presentations, etc.
