2025-2026 Winter AiR Individual Cottage Application

About the Open Call

The 2025-2026 Winter AiR Cottage Residency Program at Byrdcliffe offers individual cottage residencies for artists. This program provides dedicated time and space for artists to focus on their work within a historic setting. Applicants should be aware that a car is required for all cottage residents during their stay.

Byrdcliffe also has a limited number of ADA accessible bedrooms, bathrooms, and studio spaces; applicants requiring such accommodations are encouraged to contact air@woodstockguild.org as early as possible in the application process to ensure their needs can be met.
