Byrdcliffe Artist in Residency Program, Woodstock, NY. Deadline: March 1, 2011

The Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, located in Woodstock, New York, offers month-long Artist in Residence (AIR) opportunities for visual artists, composers, playwrights/screenwriters, and writers of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Longer residencies are available for ceramic artists.

The application deadline is March 1, 2011.

AIR sessions generally occur during the months of June, July, August, and September.

Goal is to provide solitude in a community and uninterrupted time in which to concentrate on creative work alongside fellow artists.

Opened in 1903, the Byrdcliffe Art Colony was placed on the National Register of Historic Sites in 1979 for its architectural and historical significance. It is located in the Catskill Mountains, 1.5 miles from the center of Woodstock, New York.
