Woodstock Byrdcliffe Art Guild
Nestled in the scenic town of Woodstock, NY, the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild offers a vibrant residency program for artists across various media, including ceramics. The ceramic residency primarily takes place during the summer months, as the main studio is unheated in colder seasons. Residencies range from three and a half weeks to five months, with fees varying depending on the length of stay and housing option chosen. Residents enjoy a shared private studio space featuring ample natural light through large windows.
The Byrdcliffe property is a beautiful, wooded landscape with varied elevation, dotted with charming historic buildings resembling rustic wood cabins. One of the program’s unique draws is the opportunity for cross-disciplinary interaction among artists working in different fields.
The ceramic studio is overseen by a single manager who balances multiple responsibilities, so residents should be comfortable working independently to fully benefit from their time. The nearby town is just a short five-minute drive away, providing a perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to small-town amenities.
