The Catwalk Institute is a key partner for Tisch Creative Research, providing an upstate, self-directed residency opportunity for our community of artists and scholars.

Since its inception, Catwalk has hosted more than 500 artists and scholars in its extraordinary landscape. The residency is accessible through an internal, competitive application process in which Catwalk alumni from Tisch serve as the review panel. and to socialize and share their work as suits their needs.

Residents stay at the property in private living spaces with separate work spaces available for use across the property, and socialize and share their work as suits their needs. Full use of the grounds is encouraged along with exploration of the Catskill and Hudson area. Projects that are collaborative and/or connect specifically to the region are especially appropriate for selection. While there are no traditional performance spaces or movement studios, site-specific performance works are encouraged.
