DECISION NOTIFICATION: Mid-December 2026

RESIDENCY DATES: Thursday, May 27–Monday, June 14, 2027

About:  The Art Omi: Architecture residency invites 10 early- to mid-career architects to further develop their work during a two-week residency at Art Omi. Residents are chosen through a competitive juried process and are invited to attend and participate, at no cost to themselves (except for travel expenses). All meals and accommodations are provided in a scenic setting in Columbia County, New York. Art Omi is located near the city of Hudson, about two hours north of New York City.

Eligibility:  Application is open to architects from any part of the world who have been professionally active for at least the past five (5) years since professional licensing or obtaining a Master of Architecture degree in the U.S. or international equivalent. Applications will be accepted from early and mid-career architects in active professional practice or in academia with an architectural design teaching concentration. We do not accept applications from students currently enrolled in any B. Arch, M. Arch, or PhD program. Space is very limited and a diverse and international group is sought, consistent with all Art Omi residency programs and aligning with the mission of the Art Omi: Architecture program. Architecture Residents are required to remain on campus during the entire two weeks.

Application Requirements

1. Architect's Statement (150 words max.), preferably in narrative form, about your work without any images or outside links. This is a fundamental document for our jury to fully understand your architectural practice.
2. A Project Proposal (5 pages max.) for the Architecture Residency describing the work that will be carried out while on campus during two weeks. See below for more information.
3. A Portfolio of your work (10 pages max.)
4. Your Resume and/or Curriculum Vitae.

Proposed Project:  Applicants must submit and describe a project they wish to work on, on their own, while at Art Omi. Projects of any scale may be conceptual or practical in nature, and may be an ongoing or existing project or a new design scheme to be initiated during the residency. Projects may not be client-based nor directed. While the campus and the dedicated Art Omi: Architecture grounds may serve as background inspiration or for documentation, projects cannot and will not be built on premises. In all instances a presentation is required by the end of the residency. This may be in the form of drawings, models, collages, digital images, and the like. While basic supplies will be provided, each resident is expected to bring their own design tools.   

To be considered for a 2027 residency, your application must be submitted electronically via Submittable by the end of the day on October 1, 2026 (11:59 PM EST).
Notifications will be provided in December 2026.  

We look forward to receiving your application!

DECISION NOTIFICATION: December 2026 

RESIDENCY DATES: Thursday, August 12–Monday, August 30, 2027 

We look forward to becoming acquainted with your work. Note that because of the large number of applications we receive, we are unable to offer feedback on your application. It may be useful to know that many Art Omi: Music residents have applied multiple times before being offered a residency.       

Using this online application, you will be asked to upload a single audio or video work sample of no longer than 4 minutes total. Your work sample may include up to three excerpts (including more than a single excerpt is highly recommended). Please only include work created in the last five years. You will be asked to indicate the year created and your role in each work—whether you are composer, performer, or both—what instruments/performers are featured, and whether the work is improvised, composed, a combination, or digitally produced). Do not indicate cue points on longer excerpts or direct the panel to other samples online. If you supply a longer work sample longer than 4 minutes, or include a work sample containing more than three excerpts, your application will not be considered.       

You will also be asked to provide a very brief bio (100 words or fewer) and a short narrative explaining why you would like to attend Art Omi: Music at this point in your career. Additional fields will allow you to provide information about your country of origin (and country where you live if different), any instruments you might perform with while in residence, and your primary role as a music-maker.        

A Note to Ensembles: The Art Omi: Music program will only consider applications from individuals applying as individuals. Joint applications will not be considered. Individual members of performing ensembles may apply simultaneously, but will be evaluated as individual musicians. It is highly unlikely that members of ensembles will be invited to attend during the same residency. A goal of the Art Omi: Music program is to encourage and foster participation in new collaborative environments—ongoing collaborators are discouraged from applying simultaneously for the same residency.

A Note to Art Omi: Music Alumni Wishing to Re-Apply: As we can only have so few residents in a session, it is not possible at this time to accept applications from those who have already attended Art Omi: Music.   

Note: To prepare an audio work sample, you may wish to use the free Audacity sound editing software. You can download it here.   

To be considered for a 2027 residency, your application must be submitted electronically via Submittable by the end of the day on October 1, 2026 (11:59 PM EST).
Notifications will be provided in December 2026.

RESIDENCY DATES: Thursday, July 22 – Monday, August 9, 2027 

About:  Art Omi: Dance brings together accomplished dance artists from around the world for two and a half weeks of creative exchange each summer. Residents experience each other’s creative process and the freedom to play in this collaborative residency program.

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 consequences for the participants beyond the sphere of art making. Informal public showings each summer invite the public to learn about the artists, experience the creative process, and collaborations of the residents.     

Art Omi: Dance welcomes professional dancers and choreographers of all dance genres/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. 

Application Requirements

• one headshot photograph
• a 150 word Biography
• a 250 word statement on working collaboratively
• one letter of recommendation 
• information on the your choreographic work, performance experience, and training history
• three video samples of your work as a performer and choreographer

To be considered for a 2027 residency, your application must be submitted electronically via Submittable by the end of the day on October 1, 2026 (11:59 PM EST).
Notifications will be provided in February 2027.
