Summer Artist-in-Residence Program

Ox-Bow’s Summer Residency Program offers 9 artists the time, space, and community to encourage growth and experimentation in their practice for three weeks on campus. The Summer Residencies are held while our core classes and community programs are in session. During this time, a small group of residents have access to Ox-Bow’s artist community of students, faculty, and visiting artists.

Our Summer Residencies are open to artists at any level. Currently enrolled students, MFA candidates, arts faculty, emerging, or established artists are encouraged to apply. A small number of our residencies may be awarded to artists, writers and cultural workers through nomination. There are generally three residents on campus at a time.

 Residency Recipients receive:

• Private Studio (raw studio space; classroom studios not available)

• Private room (shared bathrooms and showers)

• 3 meals a day

• Access to visiting artist and faculty for studio visits

• Evening artist lectures

• Opportunities to share work through slide presentations, readings, etc.

2026 dates: May 31–June 20; June 21–July 11; and July 13–August 1
