During the winter months, cottage residencies offer artists live/work space amidst the calm of the Catskill Mountains. This is a quiet time of year at Byrdcliffe and a wonderful time to be in residence for artists looking for time and space for creative work with minimal distractions.

The primary criterion for acceptance to Byrdcliffe’s AiR program is artistic excellence or demonstrated commitment to one’s field of endeavor. Artists in multiple disciplines are welcome to apply including writing, visual arts, weaving, ceramics, composition, photography, filmmaking, playwrights, dance, and more.
Each independent cottage is unique in size, layout, and cost. Utilities (propane, electric and Wi-Fi) are not included and pets are not allowed. For cottage information, photos, dates of availability, program details, and application process visit: Winter Cottage Artist Residencies
