The Storm King Art Center, a sprawling open-air museum and sculpture park located in the Hudson Valley region of upstate New York, has announced that it will launch its first-ever artist residency program in 2015. The 55-year-old institution is partnering with the Shandaken Project, a residency program based in the Catskill Mountains, to bring the endeavor to fruition.
As the name suggests, the Shandaken Project at Storm King involves relocating the Shandaken residency to Storm King’s astonishing grounds. Between June and September, the Shandaken Project at Storm King will offer fifteen residencies, spanning in length from two weeks to six weeks. Three artists will participate in the project at a time and each resident will be given a private studio where they can work freely. The open call for applications is underway and will end on February 20, 2015. An anonymous panel of art world professionals will hand-pick the residents in March.
