The Watermill Center’s Artist Residency Program began in 2006 when The Center officially opened as a year-round facility. Each year collectives and individuals take up residence at The Center to live and develop works that critically investigate, challenge, and extend the existing norms of artistic practice. The Artist Residency Program is process-based, without the expectation or promise of a final exhibition of the work. Watermill provides artists with time and space to focus on developing their practice in a communal environment that encourages experimentation. Artists-in-Residence share their creative process with the community through open rehearsals, workshops, and artist talks.

Requirements

The Watermill Center’s 2027 Artist Residency is open to international + national artists 21+ years of age. All disciplines accepted including, but not limited to: visual arts, media/new genre, performance, design/architecture, film/video, literature, interdisciplinary arts, academic research, social practice, and music composition. Solo artists or collaborative groups (such as theatre or dance companies) are welcome to apply.
