Arts Letters & Numbers was founded in 2011, at which point the summer workshop was the driving force of the organization. As the facilities grew, so too did the program, and in 2015 we established our year-round Artist Residency. In the intervening decade, the program has flourished, and hosted hundreds of artists from a wide range of disciplines. Our hope is to foster an environment of creative urgency and intensity of purpose, in which people are free to (inter)act, and from which new works and ideas may emerge. We welcome artists and thinkers from all disciplines to inhabit our spaces and pursue their questions, both individually and in collaboration.
The residency seeks to offer creative sanctuary, giving residents the freedom to shape their workspace and working rhythms within the historic Faith Mills Complex in rural Upstate New York. It also presents an opportunity to develop potential emergent relationships with fellow residents, and the broader local community. A warm Victorian home; a big white barn; textile mills turned studio space, and an old country Inn, surrounded by woods and lakes and buzzing with shared dinners and bonfire conversations, await your practice.
The 2025 Residency Program offers four seasonal opportunities with varying durations from 1 to 12 weeks. The Winter Residency runs from January 15 to March 15, with an application deadline of January 1. The Spring Residency spans April 15 to June 15, with applications due by April 1. The Summer Residency is scheduled from July 1 to August 30, with a deadline of June 15, and the Autumn Residency takes place from October 15 to December 15, with applications closing on October 1.
