Slow Season Residency

Type: Residencies, Workshops, Exchanges [View all]
Posted by: Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency
Deadline: Sat, May 1st, 2027

Beginning in Fall 2026, Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency  invites artists of all levels and disciplines to apply to spend 2–4 weeks in dedicated creative practice during Ox-Bow’s quieter seasons. Residencies are offered each year in September, October, November, March, and April, with dates scheduled around campus programming. Applicants are encouraged to indicate a range of availability in their application.

Residents enjoy a contemplative, self-directed experience on Ox-Bow’s historic campus, with private dorm-style accommodations, one family-style dinner prepared each weeknight by the Ox-Bow kitchen, and shared kitchen access featuring a stocked pantry with breakfast and lunch staples. Participants have their own dedicated, simple studio space, making this experience ideal for artists working independently in drawing, painting, writing, and other mediums that do not require specialized equipment as our specialty studios are not open during this timeframe.

The cost is $1,200 for one week; $2200 for two weeks; $3200 for three weeks; or $4200 for 4 weeks and a portfolio application is required. Inquire here!

ABOUT OX-BOW
As an artist-built and run school and residency, Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency is dedicated to the time and space for arts education, research, practice, and community-building for artists at all stages of their artistic journey. Founded in 1910, Ox-Bow’s egalitarian and intimate environment encourages all artists, regardless of experience, to find and amplify their impulse to create. Faculty, Visiting Artists, Residents, staff, and students live together in community on our campus in Saugatuck, Michigan, where they share meals, social time, and the exchange of ideas. We actively encourage our participants to engage across differences in age, regional location, race, and gender identity, learning what it means to be a community by participating in one. Ox-Bow is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization.
