Catskill Art Space (CAS) explores contemporary art practices of emerging and established artists. Through exhibitions, performances, classes, lectures and screenings, CAS fosters creative community in the Catskills.

With exhibition space spanning two floors and four galleries, CAS aspires to be a regional arts destination, delivering programming that is diverse, dynamic, and life-enriching. CAS promotes the visual and performing arts of, by, and for our communities, including world-class artists, local artists, and arts education.

CAS regularly offers opportunities to show work in our venues, and we welcome submissions from artists and arts groups through an annual call for exhibition proposals. Exhibitions are complemented by a wide range of public programs, including dance and music performances, artist talk backs, film screenings, lectures, and community gatherings. 

CAS also empowers emerging and established artists of all ages to deepen their practices through various educational opportunities.

About The Ou Gallery

The Ou (like, oooh, nice) was officially founded in 2017 when Barclay and Donovan Rose fell in love with the building and began cleaning and restoring it from top to bottom: turning it into the gorgeous space you see today. With help from their wonderful friends and family, they created The Ou to satisfy their dreams to inhabit and share beautiful and gentle creative spaces, to be surrounded by contemporary art, and to bring artists from around the world to a place where they can feel at home, relaxed and inspired. 

What began as a small contemporary art gallery became The Ou-Terlier artist residency, hosting creatives from all over the world.

We are uninvited guests on the lands where live and create, and we humbly acknowledge that these lands are part of the traditional Coast Salish territory of the Quw’utsun and the Hul’qumin’num Treaty Group and the unceded (stolen) territory of the Snuneymuxw nation. 

WildHeart: Center for Performance and Embodiment Practice is a land-based culture hub that incubates new performances, cultivates deep community and hosts transformational events.

Manifesto:

Our bodies are cultured. 

Our embodiment practice (and unexamined habitual patterning!) channels into our artmaking.

Art shapes culture.

And the culture we co-create circles back around to shape our bodies.

We can interrupt the default course of this cycle at any point:
with critical thinking and strategic detox from the overculture’s impact on our bodies;
with embodiment practice that repatterns how we self-express;
with art that affirms life, honors all bodies, opens regenerative possibilities.

This is our work:
to support a spiral of cultural, embodied, creatively expressed love.

Vision:

Performances created as an expression of deep integrity nourished by embodiment practice while living close to the earth.

WildHeart is body positive, anti racist, queer magic.

Much administrative, manual and emotional labor supports these priorities. In the nitty-gritty of walking the walk, we provide food and housing, land access, studio space, event planning, logistical coordination, and marketing outreach.

Echo Arts is an artist-run residency and art, performance, and arts education space in the Texas Hill Country, our mission is to support working artists by providing them with time, space, and a stipend to create their work. We believe that making art is a vehicle for making a kinder, more just world. We will welcome practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines, such as music/sound, painting/drawing, film/video/dance, photography, writing, and sculpture. 

Our vision is to make experimental, expansive, and affordable art programming in the Hill Country, while facilitating artist immersion in this unique part of Texas. We will cultivate dialogue among artists and create opportunities for them to work and exhibit in this natural setting–enriching the region culturally, fostering connections between urban and rural communities, and, in the wake of the devastating summer 2025 flooding, contributing to spaces of joy, reflection, and collective recovery. Echo Arts will strive to be accessible and supportive to everyone, with special attention paid to childcare and in building out and renovating our studios to accommodate differently-abled bodies and minds. Our program structure and schedule will be wholly artist-centered.

Echo Arts will create a connection between the Hill Country and the world. Artists working with Echo Arts will contribute to the local community through public classes, exhibitions, and more. Our organization will host an annual experimental arts festival, featuring performances and outdoor installations. One way we will foster a vibrant, supportive arts community on a local, national, and international scale is by including thoughtful, engaged artists, art workers, educators, and other humanity-affirming individuals and groups in the planning of Echo Arts from the start. Echo Arts artist residency will open to our first artists in Spring/Summer 2027. 

Wonder Mountain Open Source Space Residency welcomes LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artists and creators to an immersive two-week program offered year-round. This residency embraces a wide spectrum of visionaries—writers, visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, performers, designers, digital innovators, cultural workers, community builders, healers, curators, scientists, and multidisciplinary makers of all kinds. We also encourage groups and collectives to apply, as well as those who wish to facilitate community-engagement workshops. Set in the wide-open desert landscape of Wonder Valley, California—just a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park—our space offers both stillness and inspiration. Here, creators can step away from the noise, reflect and reset, nurture bold new ideas, and reconnect with the elemental cycles of nature and cosmos.

Residency fees are $1250 USD for two-week stays. Longer stays are negotiable and scholarships are available. Note: The residency fee does not include food and travel. However, free transportation can be arranged in advance from the Palm Springs Airport.

We encourage artists and writers seeking a quiet and inspiring rural desert environment to apply to Wonder Mountain Open Source Space. Our space is surrounded by the plants and creatures of the Mojave: Yucca brevifolia is indigenous to the region and isn’t found anywhere else in the world. Come see the desert flowers in bloom as the meteor showers explode in the darkness and stillness of Wonder Valley. Wonder Mountain Open Source Space encourages creative professionals of all backgrounds to apply for admission. The space is centered on principles of self-reflexive artistic practice that embraces the healing elements of the land as a site of reciprocal action. We envision an aesthetics of generosity, compassion, and an astral breadth of scope that seeks to nourish the creative spirit in all producers who venture to travel here.

The space is located on the traditional ancestral homelands of the Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi and Mohave (Mojave) indigenous communities, the land that encompasses what’s known as so-called Joshua Tree National Park, Twentynine Palms, and Wonder Valley.

We at Wonder Mountain Open Source Space acknowledge the Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi and Mohave (Mojave) indigenous people, the traditional custodians of this land. We recognize the ongoing impact of colonization and displacement on Indigenous communities. We honor their deep connection to this place and their enduring stewardship of the land and waters.
