Call for applications: chaNorth Artist Residency in Hudson Valley, NY

Located on a 5-acre estate in Pine Plains, New York, chaNorth combines live-in studios with private workspaces, shared gallery areas, a communal kitchen and a serene setting. With backgrounds in a wide-range of mediums, six artists and writers live and create during their one-month session, and present work in an Open Studios event at the end of their residency.  The communal kitchen is stocked with fresh, local organic produce and whole grains and cooperatively prepared daily meals act as the anchor of the program. Residents are asked to contribute a few hours per week working at McEnroe, a local organic farm, allowing artists the opportunity to interact with the environment, the community and agricultural history of the Hudson Valley. chaNorth is managed and operated by chashama, which has supported creativity in New York City for the past 15 years by repurposing vacant properties for use by artists as galleries, performance spaces, work spaces and more.
