The 2026 Ox-Bow Summer Artist-in-Residence Program

About the Open Call

Ox-Bow’s fully-funded 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 courses and community programs are in session. During this time, a small group of residents has access to Ox-Bow’s artist community of students, faculty, and visiting artists. The program is open to artists or writers at any level. Currently enrolled students, MFA candidates, arts faculty, emerging, or established artists are encouraged to apply. There are generally three residents on campus at a time. The 2026 session dates are May 31–June 20, June 21–July 11, and July 13–August 1.

What is Offered

A studio space with 24-hour access, housing and 3 meals per day, weekly studio visits with visiting artists, and an opportunity to exhibit work.

Requirements

Open to artists or writers at any level, including currently enrolled students, MFA candidates, arts faculty, emerging artists, and established artists.
