The 2025 Artists in Residence (A.i.R.)  exhibition presents the work of the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild 2024 Artists-in-Residency program participants. In a world that prioritizes production, residency programs offer a place for artists to generate ideas, experiment at their own pace, and, most of all, reflect on their practice. This exhibition presents paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and compositions from the artists inspired by their 2024 residency season. 

About Byrdcliffe’s Artist Residency Program:
As one of the oldest continuously run artist colonies in the United States, each year Byrdcliffe gives artists of all disciplines the opportunity to live and create in the picturesque Woodstock, New York whose beauty drew Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead to found Byrdcliffe 120 years ago. The Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild provides several year-round opportunities in the cottages, where artists can devote themselves to their practice for three months or more. Cottages function as both residential and studio spaces and are spread throughout the property, each with their own unique character and history. During the summer, Byrdcliffe runs four month-long communal residencies. Residents live across two spaces, The Villetta Inn and Eastover, which allows them to forge connections with other artists, while having their own studio space to retreat to. Creating community is essential to the residency’s mission and Byrdcliffe facilitates practice shares, excursions to local art centers, and community dinners to foster an environment that supports strong interpersonal relationships. Each communal session culminates in an Open Studio event to celebrate the end of their stay where the public is invited into their space.
