Art Omi is a rare institution that sustains a cross-disciplinary residency program within a 120-acre sculpture and architecture park in Ghent, New York. For over three decades, it has hosted artists, writers, musicians, dancers, and architects from around the world, offering them the time, space, and critical community necessary to advance ambitious work. The residency is not a retreat in the pastoral sense alone; it is a working environment where dialogue across disciplines is actively encouraged, and where the presence of a permanent collection of large-scale sculpture and architecture informs the daily experience of residents. The program provides fully funded residencies that include lodging, meals, and private studios. There is no application fee, a deliberate policy that removes economic barriers and signals the institution's commitment to access. Residents are selected by a rotating jury of professionals in each discipline, ensuring that the cohort reflects a range of practices and perspectives. While the residency does not prescribe a thematic focus, the campus itself—with its rolling fields, woodlands, and commissioned works—often becomes a collaborator in the creative process. Art Omi's curatorial vision is grounded in the belief that artists need uninterrupted time and intellectual companionship. The residency is structured to foster deep work without the pressures of exhibition or production. For many, it is a period of research, experimentation, and consolidation. The institution's international reach means that residents join a global network of alumni, and the cross-pollination among disciplines is one of its most distinctive features. This is not a program for those seeking a quick credential, but for practitioners ready to engage with a community of peers in a sustained and meaningful way.
