Byrdcliffe’s Residency Program is open to practitioners in all fields of the Visual, Literary and Performing Arts. We provide both Communal and Individual Residency opportunities.
We are currently accepting applications for a special rate Winter residency (December 15, 2025 – February 20, 2026) and the Spring Individual Residency period (February 23 – April 23, 2026).
Cottage residencies offer artists live/work space within the larger creative community of the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony amidst the serene natural setting of Woodstock, New York. While cottage residencies are more autonomous by nature, artists-in-residence are invited to participate in a variety of program offerings at Byrdcliffe. Our off-season months are a quieter time of year at Byrdcliffe and a wonderful time to be in residence for artists looking for time and space for creative work with minimal distractions.
Every year the Byrdcliffe Artists-in-Residence program provides over 60 visual artists, writers, architects, and composers of exceptional talent uninterrupted creative time within the serene natural setting of the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony.
