+ Weekend Retreat Residency Program @ Kaatsbaan Cultural Park

Kaatsbaan Cultural Park’s Weekend Retreat Residency Program provides opportunities for artists of all genres to create, live, and collaborate in the idyllic countryside of the Hudson Valley.

With studio space, meals, and housing on our Hudson Valley campus, these weekends offer an extraordinary environment for cultural innovation and excellence.

Kaatsbaan Weekend Retreats are tailored to accommodate individual artists and small groups spanning various creative disciplines.

The new residency program offers affordable access to spacious studios and specialized workspaces for dancers, writers, visual artists, composers, musicians, and designers. Residencies are generously subsidized and include essential amenities such as individual, hotel-style rooms and healthy, locally sourced meals.

Residencies are for artists only. No guests or pets allowed.

A deposit of 50% is required upon residency confirmation. The remainder of the fee is due two weeks prior to the residency arrival date.
