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 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.
