Art Omi 2027: Architecture, Artists, Dance, Music

Through a competitive jury process, residents are invited to attend Art Omi's residencies at no cost to themselves, except travel expenses. Art Omi offers residents the time and space to hone their own craft while cultivating a vibrant community of artists from around the globe.

Comfortable, beautiful lodgings and dedicated workspaces are nestled among the rolling meadowlands and woodlands of Art Omi’s 300-acre campus, located in New York’s scenic Hudson Valley, two-and-a-half hours north of New York City. Residents are nourished with fresh, prepared meals and immersed in a dynamic creative ecosystem flourishing at the intersection of nature, art, and architecture in our Sculpture & Architecture Park.

Application Fee: $15
Kindly note, the application fee covers the cost of administration to process applications.

Art Omi: Architecture invites early- to mid-career architects from across the world to develop their work on Art Omi's campus.

Application Deadline: Thursday, October 1, 2026

Architecture Residents are selected on the basis of their individual proposed project and portfolio. Applicants must submit and describe a project they wish to work on, on their own, while at Art Omi. Projects may be conceptual or practical, and may be an on-going or existing project that requires completion or a new design scheme to be initiated and completed by the end of the residency. Projects may not be client-based nor directed. In all instances a visual presentation and a final work product is required.

Applications are open to architects from any part of the world that have been professionally active for at least the past five years since professional licensing or obtaining an M. Arch. degree in the U.S. or internationally. Applications will be accepted from architects in active practice or in academia with an architectural design teaching concentration.

Art Omi: Artists invites artists from all over the world, representing a wide diversity of artistic styles and practices, to gather, collaborate, and share ideas.

Application Deadline: Monday, September 14, 2026

Concentrated time for studio work is balanced with cultural exchange and critical appraisal, fostering deep creative and professional connections in a lively social setting.

The Art Omi: Artists Visitors Program enables residents to have conversations with visiting art critics, curators, gallerists, and prominent artists. Direct engagement with the New York City art world is unmatched by similar residency programs.

The residency culminates in the Open Studios event, offering the public a glimpse of what artists have created during their time at Art Omi.

Art Omi: Artists welcomes artists from all over the world who have been professionally active for at least the past five years. Disciplines include visual arts, sound art, performance, and social practice. Having studied art is not a requirement: applications are accepted from self-taught professional artists.

Art Omi: Dance brings together accomplished dance artists from around the world. Residents experience each other’s creative process and the freedom to play in this collaborative residency program.

Application Deadline: Thursday, October 1, 2026

The emphasis of the Art Omi: Dance residency is not a performance product; rather, a gently facilitated process of experimentation and collaboration.

This exploration is enhanced by providing resources that dancers and choreographers often lack: space, time, and other artists with whom to work. The result is a model of creative process and community building that envisions impact for the participants beyond the sphere of art making. Informal showings each summer invite the public to experience the residents' creative process, collaborations, and the development of their ideas.

Art Omi: Dance welcomes professional dancers and choreographers of all styles who have the desire to share ideas and process with dancers from around the world. Applicants should not have specific projects in mind, but should come open to working with others on jointly conceived projects.

Art Omi: Music welcomes musicians, composers, and sound-makers working in all genres and hailing from around the globe for a uniquely collaborative music-making residency.

Application Deadline: Thursday, October 1, 2026

Art Omi: Music encourages its participants to share ideas, perform each other’s works, and write music for one another, while exploring their own musical vision and broadening their artistic and cultural horizons. Informal concerts invite the public to experience the shared creative process and artistic journey of the residents.

As Art Omi: Music encourages and fosters participation in new collaborative environments, only applications from individual applicants are accepted.
