The 2026 Ox-Bow Summer Artist-in-Residence Program
Ends on
Ox-Bow’s fully-funded Summer Residency Program offers 9 artists the time, space, and community to encourage growth and experimentation in their practice for three weeks on campus. The Summer Residencies are held while our core courses and community programs are in session. During this time, a small group of residents has access to Ox-Bow’s artist community of students, faculty, and visiting artists. Our summer residencies are open to artists or writers at any level. Currently enrolled students, MFA candidates, arts faculty, emerging, or established artists are encouraged to apply. There are generally three residents on campus at a time.
THE 2026 DATES AVAILABLE ARE:
• May 31–June 20
• June 21–July 11
• July 13–August 1
RESIDENCY RECIPIENTS RECEIVE:
• A studio space with 24-hour access
• Housing and 3 meals per day
• Weekly studio visits with visiting artists
• Opportunity to exhibit their work
The Visiting Artist Program at Ox-Bow is designed with the residents in mind. As a resident, you will receive a studio visit with a new visiting artist each week. For this reason, writers and non-visual artists are encouraged to consider the impact these artists may have on their Ox-Bow experience and practice to ensure this opportunity is right for them. In 2026 the Summer Visiting Artist Program includes;
- Aaron Spangler
- Nyeema Morgan
- Mari Eastman
- Ebitenyefa Baralaye
- Laura Letinsky
- Keioui Keijaun Thomas
- Imin Yeh
