Bethany Arts Community (BAC)

About

Bethany Arts Community (BAC), located in Ossining, New York, invites artists across various disciplines to participate in its Fall Multidisciplinary Residency program. This program is designed for artists at different career stages, from emerging to established, fostering the development of new works and works-in-progress. The residency emphasizes collaboration and cross-disciplinary interaction among participants, including writers, filmmakers, musicians, dancers, visual artists, and more, to engage in the creation of their art in a communal environment. BAC's unique approach includes integrating artists into the community through the facilitation of Community Programs. These programs allow artists to engage with the local population, offering public engagements and collaborations that enrich both the artists' experiences and the cultural landscape of Ossining and Westchester County. The residency provides room and board, a private studio suited to the artist's medium or project, basic meals (with dietary accommodations), and a weekly stipend. BAC encourages applications from individual artists or artist teams of up to three members, highlighting the importance of a full-time commitment to the residency's duration for optimal community and creative impact.
