Catskills Creative Residency

The Catskills Creative Residency attracts talent from across the globe to collaborate with Catskills-based artists and share work with diverse audiences. Led by Artistic Director, Jane Manwelyan, the residency gives artists the time and space to refine their work, receive feedback, and engage with the local creative community.
