The Art Omi: Artists invites artists from around the world, representing a wide diversity of artistic styles and practices, to gather in rural New York to experiment, collaborate and share ideas.
Artists are provided with a private bedroom in shared living quarters, a private studio, and three prepared meals a day at no cost, but are responsible for their travel and material expenses. Each session, two critics/curators are invited to participate as Critics-in-Residence.
