Art Kibbutz – the International Jewish Artist Residency – proudly announces a special two week residency program at The Jewish Center of the Hamptons for summer 2018.

Applications are welcome regardless of individual identity as Jews or non-Jews.

During this two-weeks-long residency each artist is required to develop and present at least two public interactive events (for adults, families, or children) on site, in cooperation with JCOH and its calendar. Some presentations will take place later during the summer. You will be asked to describe in your application your topic, methods, thoughts, goals, and a preliminary plan for your presentation. Artists will be reqired to volunteer at least 5 hours a week.
