One artist per year selected by Charlotte Street to attend the Prestigious Art Omi Residency Program in Upstate New York

Details

Every year, Charlotte Street offers a Kansas City-based visual artist the opportunity to attend Art OMI’s residency program in Ghent, New York. Starting in 2026, all visual artists and culture bearers currently living in Kansas City are eligible to apply, as well as nominees from former Art Omi Residents. The application process is administered by Art OMI, and selections made by a panel of jurors that includes Charlotte Street staff. The selected artist receives a three week, fully-funded residency and a $500 stipend. Art Omi invites 30 artists from around the world, representing a wide diversity of artistic styles and practices, to gather in rural New York for four weeks each summer to experiment, collaborate and share ideas.
