2026 WARP Wood

ABOUT THE WINDGATE ARTS RESIDENCY PROGRAM (WARP) IN WOOD

The Windgate Arts Residency Program (WARP) in Wood is an integral part of the Museum for Art in Wood’s programming and is made possible through the transformative support from the Windgate Foundation. The residency is an annual two-month program that takes place from early June to early August. Each cohort of resident fellows consists of several artists, one student artist, a documentary artist, and a scholar (who typically joins for a week at the midpoint of the program). The residents live and work in a collaborative environment, visiting cultural sites in the region and meeting artists, curators, and collectors. The work made during the residency is presented in a group exhibition in the Museum’s main gallery, opening the first Friday of August and continuing through October. The residency is designed as a collegial experience and encourages an open exchange of creative and technical occupation. Resident fellows can pursue both individual and collaborative work that is explorative, experimental, research-based, or otherwise enriching to the artistic practice.
