Wassaic Project
Wassaic, New York, United States
They take really good care of you. I've always had meaningful change in my work when I'm there. It's way out in a rural area, which is what makes it great but also difficult to get around if you don't have a car. They do help out with that, however. The visit does cost money; it's a reasonable $800, but they are very forgiving and will work with you on a case-by-case basis.

I was able to work at any time of day in a very cool barn studio. I wanted my project to be very self-directed, but the staff made themselves available for any assistance I or other residents needed. Valuable studio visits from very different people. Truly beautiful setting and community building through sharing a home with other creatives.
The staff is stellar at Wassaic Project; they’ll go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need and are comfortable. The residency costs money, but it’s a very small amount compared to what you get in terms of accommodations, studio access, outdoor space, and precious studio visits by esteemed guests.
Staff is amazingly supportive and all are fantastic creatives themselves. Beautiful rural landscape surrounding with necessary stores within comfortable distance. With the building structures being old repurposed barns and a huge grain mill, studios feel very home-y (not in a bad way, gets the job done with ample space and the facilities/tools necessary). Fair warning, you’ll definitely be getting your steps in with all the stairs.
Residency feel very balanced. Good mix of studio visits, production time, social opportunities, etc.
