Winter residents spend 3–6 months in Wassaic and get 24-hour access to 80–100 square foot studios in the Old Hotel in Maxon Mills. Programming includes lectures and one-on-one studio visits from creative professionals, group studio visits led by our embedded critics, Adam and Lauren of Ghost of a Dream, artist talks and presentations, and Open Studios sessions. All residents live just a short walk away in one of our two residency houses, the Schoolhouse and the Lodge. Due to COVID-19, each artist or artist team lives in a private house. Family residents stay in Wassaic for 1–8 weeks, get access to all the same programming and studio space as the rest of our artists-in-residence, and live in a private home in town. We encourage you to apply whatever the word "family" means to you (we broadly define it as a group of more than one individual where there is an in-house, dependent caregiving relationship, but are always open to new interpretations). Application requirements at the link below. We'll also be hosting an info session on April 21st and office hours on April 27th. We look forward to seeing your applications!
