The multidisciplinary General Residency Program is our foundational residency structure. I-Park supports artists and designers working in the following creative disciplines: Music Composition, Creative Writing, Moving Image, Architecture, Landscape/Garden Design and Visual Arts.

Between 6 and 8 artists reside onsite for 4-week sessions. Residents are provided a private bedroom, a private studio and chef-prepared dinners five nights a week. Shared amenities include a communal kitchen, a Common Area for group gatherings, a library, 25 art/nature trails, wireless internet and a workshop outfitted with tools, materials and equipment.

I-Park’s resourceful staff is devoted to providing each artist with a fulfilling, productive, safe and comfortable live/work setting. Institutional demands on artists’ time are minimal. We aspire to provide competent, personalized support including removing distractions that could otherwise prevent them from realizing their most ambitious projects.

The residency program is set within an expansive nature preserve, with open fields, miles of walking trails and stone walls, ponds and streams – and a pristine river runs through it. We believe that this quiet, retreat-type environment is especially conducive to the creative process. Over the years, the land has inspired a passionate interest in site-responsive art.

Except for a $35 application fee, the residencies are fully funded.

Typically, between 50 and 60 residencies are awarded each year.

The Scherbarth Residency Program provides lodging and studio space to artists and makers in the visual, performing, and literary arts to participate in the creative community at Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts, and the rural community of Mineral Point, Wisconsin. While living on our unique campus of historic and reproduction buildings, Scherbarth residents will be able to contribute in meaningful ways to the mission of Shake Rag Alley and participate in the creative ecosystem of the Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin. Through the generosity of Jim Scherbarth, artists and makers will have access to the time and space needed to work and create, as well as to the nurturing environment of Mineral Point, and opportunities to network with its resident artists.

The Scherbarth Residency Program is open to artists and makers at any stage in their careers who can benefit from the residency’s cohort model, and wish to contribute in a meaningful way to community. Residents are expected to:

• Share their work in a public forum, which could include face-to-face models as well as social media.
• Contribute stewardship hours to the Shake Rag Alley campus. This could include snow removal, maintenance of common areas, assistance with administrative tasks, and caring for our historic buildings.
• Work on a project described in the application proposal.

To maximize flexibility and accessibility, residents may choose to be in residence from one week to six weeks. 

The Popps Packing residency program was born in 2012 and has grown into a robust international AIR that has welcomed over 100 artists into our unique arts and community ecosystem.

Byrdcliffe’s Artists-in-Residence (AiR) program offers artists in all disciplines uninterrupted time to live and work within the serene natural setting and creative community of Woodstock’s historic Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, one of the earliest utopian and continuously operating arts colonies in America. 

Artist residency options include month-long communal sessions and 5-month long independent cottage residencies during the summer months, as well as independent residencies in our year-round cottages which range from 3-months to a year. As part of the AiR program, artists are invited to participate in gatherings, talks, practice shares, studio visits, excursions, open studio events, and the annual AiR exhibition the spring after their residency.

The main criterion for acceptance to Byrdcliffe’s AiR program is artistic excellence and demonstrated commitment to one’s field of endeavor. Artists working in a range of disciplines are encouraged to apply including writing, visual arts, weaving, ceramics, music, composition, photography, filmmaking, dance, and multi-disciplinary practices.  A selection of artistic merit and financial need fellowships are available each year, covering partial to full residency fees.

Since 1976, Sculpture Space has been a launchpad for more than 630 visionary artists from across the globe—a place where bold ideas take shape and connections spark across materials, cultures, and generations. Our residency offers far more than studio space; it’s an invitation to experiment, collaborate, and immerse yourself in a dynamic community of makers, thinkers, and dreamers.

Throughout each season, residents engage with visiting artists, curators, and writers, sharing ideas that ignite new directions in their work. Every session culminates in a Works-in-Progress reception, when the public is welcomed into the studio to experience art in motion—unpolished, alive, and full of potential.

Artists are selected by a panel of distinguished peers and professionals for their originality, clarity of vision, and potential for growth. Accepted artists are notified in March. Each receives a $1,000 travel/materials/food stipend to help offset travel and materials. As funding allows, additional financial assistance may be available. We also encourage residents to pursue individual grants and partnerships to further amplify their creative opportunities.

At Sculpture Space, we believe in artists who shape the future through curiosity, generosity, and courage. Join us, and bring your vision to life in an environment that celebrates experimentation and the boundless possibilities of sculpture.
