Summer 2027 Byrdcliffe Communal Residency

Preferred application date for Priority Review: November 16th, 2026 Applications close 11:59 PM November 23rd, 2026 Every Summer the Byrdcliffe Artists-in-Residence program provides over 60 Visual, Literary, and Performing Artists creative time within the historic natural setting of the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, one of the earliest utopian and continuously operating arts colonies in America. Community and connection are core principals of our Summer Programs and artists from all backgrounds and all stages of their career are invited to apply. Each session hosts approximately 10 Visual Artists, 2 Ceramic Artists, and 5 Artists in the Literary or Performing Arts fields. Byrdcliffe offers opportunities to engage in practice shares, local excursions, community events, open studios, and exhibitions at Byrdcliffe’s Kleinert/James Gallery the following year. Communal Residencies provide a welcoming environment to connect with fellow artists, build professional and creative relationships, and socialize within a vibrant interdisciplinary community. The main criterion for acceptance to Byrdcliffe’s AiR program is artistic excellence and demonstrated commitment to one’s field of endeavor. Artists working in a range of disciplines are encouraged to apply including writing, visual arts, weaving, ceramics, music, composition, photography, filmmaking, dance, and multi-disciplinary practices. A selection of artistic merit and financial need fellowships are available each year, covering partial to full residency fees.
