Residencies are critical for networking and building resumes, especially for parent artists re-entering the creative workforce. Interlude provides free transformational three-week residencies and professional development opportunities to extraordinary visual artists. Residents are selected for their potential to produce work of artistic excellence and benefit from Interlude’s offerings.
 
Interlude provides residents a studio and a living space that can accommodate families. Each session is designed to meet the needs of each individual artist and their family to ensure their time is nurturing and productive. 
 
We offer several prepared meals each week, a kitchen stocked with basics and a stipend to every artist to defray travel, materials, food or childcare costs. An on-site coordinator manages logistics and helps arrange in advance for childcare needs, so artists can focus on their work.
 
Each artist receives studio visits from artists and curators from the thriving Hudson Valley arts community. These studio visits are a highlight for many residents and often create opportunities for career advancement.
