This opportunity at Ox-Bow supports and celebrates artists working at the intersection of food and art. Open to creators of all backgrounds—not only those with traditional fine arts training—the program invites anyone whose creative practice engages food as material, whether through research, performance, sculpture, social practice, or event-based work. The residency unfolds in two parts: a 10-day winter session on Ox-Bow’s Saugatuck, Michigan campus (dates confirmed with the final cohort) and a culminating public program held in summer or fall of the same year. Up to six artists or collaboratives are selected each cycle.

Applications are open to individuals and collectives.

Residents receive room and board during their time on campus, a 1,500 USD artist fee in support of their public program(s), a 600 USD travel stipend, and a 200 USD materials budget for the winter residency. Additional materials funding and event support are provided for the public program. Throughout both sessions, residents have access to Ox-Bow’s professional kitchen, studio spaces, and the support of staff who specialize in both culinary and artistic production.
