Art Omi: Artists Residency - Basque Country
International artist residency in rural New York for Basque Country-based professionals. Fully funded accommodation, studio, meals, and critic engagement.
Art Omi: Artists is an internationally recognized residency program located in rural New York that brings professional artists together for focused creative work, collaboration, and critical exchange. This specific call is exclusively open to artists living and working in the Basque Country. The 2026 residency runs from June 18 to July 13, 2026, offering a fully immersive four-week experience designed to support artistic growth and cross-cultural dialogue. The program provides each resident with a private bedroom in shared living quarters, a dedicated private studio space, three prepared meals daily, and full participation in residency programming. Residents engage with an international cohort of artists across diverse disciplines and benefit from structured critiques and individual studio visits with invited Critics-in-Residence. The residency balances independent creative practice with collective engagement, emphasizing concentrated artistic experimentation, peer-to-peer learning, critical appraisal, and exposure to international artistic perspectives. Artists are responsible for their own travel costs and art materials, though travel grants may be available according to fellowship guidelines. The program is designed for professional artists seeking uninterrupted time for creative development without production pressure, in a non-competitive environment that encourages artistic freedom and dialogue.
