The Alumni Association of the New York Academy of Art is is pleased to offer a RESIDENCY at Fieldstones to one Academy alum artist.
The AANYAA Fieldstones RESIDENCY is a summer escape in the northern Hudson Valley exclusively for one graduate of the New York Academy of Art. Spend two weeks focusing on your artwork in the peace of a 100-acre rustic, rural property complete with mountain views, and a creek with a swimming hole. Bring hiking boots, marshmallows for the fire, and art supplies as you expand your studio practice in a pastoral environment. The Residency will partially overlap the Retreat August 12-17.
The JUROR for 2025's retreat will be ZANE YORK.
Zane York was born in Nebraska and was raised in the Midwest. He received his B.F.A. in drawing, painting, and sculpture from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and his M.F.A. in painting from the New York Academy of Art. He is represented by Gallery Henoch in New York and Galerie Fledermaus in California and has had numerous solo exhibitions including at the Dubuque Museum of Art, and the Arsenal Gallery in Central Park. Zane York’s work is represented in collections across the world and his paintings have been exhibited in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Denver, Melbourne, St. Barthelemy, Florida, and France and throughout the Midwest. His work has been written about in the L.A. Times, Fine Art Connoisseur, The Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, and Metro. Zane moved to Brooklyn in 2001 and maintains his studio in Greenpoint.
Previous Jurors have included Wright Harvey, Elena Rodz, Diana Corvelle, and Daniel Maidman.
2025 RESIDENCY lodging will be in the "Chicory Barn." The interiors are very rustic: there is a solar shower and an outside privy near the barn privately nestled in a patch of tall bamboo... it's much like camping but with a few more comfortable amenities like a bed with sheets, a mini-fridge, fan, and heater, a camp cooking stove, dishes, a firepit and wood. The 2025 alumni-artist-in-residence will receive a $200 stipend to offset travel and food expenses.
The selected alum will have access to Fieldstones’ artist studios in a large barn onsite. Please bear in mind that, despite Fieldstones’ many amenities (which include WIFI and hot water bathroom access), the location and lodgings are rustic. Upon acceptance, the selected alum will receive more information regarding what to pack for Fieldstones, as well as travel directions and info on local grocery stores.
