Deadline: 15-Oct-2025
The Art Omi Architecture Program invites 10 early- to mid-career architects from around the world to develop their work during a two-week residency on Art Omi’s campus in June.
Applicants must submit and describe a project they wish to work on, on their own, while at Art Omi. Projects of any scale may be conceptual or practical in nature, and may be an ongoing or existing project or a new design scheme to be initiated during the residency. Projects may not be client-based nor directed. While the campus and the dedicated Art Omi: Architecture grounds may serve as background inspiration or for documentation, projects cannot and will not be built on premises. In all instances a visual presentation is required by the end of the residency. This may be in the form of drawings, study models, maquettes, collages, digital images, and the like. While basic supplies will be provided, each resident is expected to bring their own design tools.
Application is open to architects from any part of the world that have been professionally active for at least the past five (5) years since professional licensing or obtaining a Master of Architecture degree in the U.S. or international equivalent. Applications will be accepted from early and mid-career architects in active professional practice or in academia with an architectural design teaching concentration. They do not accept applications from students currently enrolled in any B. Arch, M. Arch, or PhD program. Space is very limited and a diverse and international group is sought, consistent with all Art Omi residency programs and aligning with the mission of the Art Omi: Architecture program. Architecture Residents are required to remain on campus during the entire two weeks.
Architect’s Statement (150 words max.), preferably in narrative form, about your work without any images or outside links. This is a fundamental document for their jury to fully understand your architectural practice. A Project Proposal (5 pages max.) for the Architecture Residency describing the work that will be carried out while on campus during two weeks. See below for more information. A Portfolio of your work (10 pages max.) Your Resume and/or Curriculum Vitae.
The residency will run from Thursday, May 28 to Monday, June 15, 2026. Applications must be submitted no later than Wednesday, October 15, 2025, by 11:59 PM EST. Notification of decisions will be shared in mid-December 2025.
