Eligibility

All visual artists and writers are encouraged to apply.

Number of Participants

There are 10 artists-in-residence per month at the Wassaic Project, including our Family Residency program: The Wassaic Project broadly defines “Family” as comprised of a group of more than one individual where there is an in-house, and dependent, caregiving relationship. The Wassaic Project recognizes that artists who have caregiving relationships, as providers or recipients, often opt-out of peer community building for practical reasons. The Wassaic Project aims to provide family accommodations which increase access to our residency program. All artists are able to bring their partners and/or dogs, if they wish to do so.

Program Description

The Wassaic Project accepts 1 – 4 month proposals for our Winter Residency program: November 2019 - March 2020. The Wassaic Project cultivates and supports community for emerging and professional contemporary artists, writers and other creatives. Housed in historic, landmark buildings, the residency program offers nine 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 grass roots, community-based arts organization.
