Residency Overview
The 2026 residency season will take place July 13 through October 8. Shandaken: Storm King is a free, process-focused residency that is collaboratively produced by Shandaken Projects and Storm King Art Center, and that takes place at Storm King. In 2026, residents are given exclusive use of a four-bedroom farmhouse and a private, 9-by-14-foot studio for 2 weeks each. The studio does not have electricity: all corded tools must be used in a work space attached to the house. In 2026, residencies are offered to one artist at a time. Artists are welcome to bring their children and families for the duration of their stay.

Shandaken: Storm King residencies are meant to facilitate experimentation, process, research, or production by providing space and time for residents to do as they wish. Residents are offered unique opportunities to visit Storm King’s grounds, see its collection, and get to know its staff. Please see the application guidelines for more details.
