Selected artists have the opportunity to take over the Solo Gallery where they can present a focused body of work that speaks to the issues and aesthetics that drive their practice. Submissions take place once each year for the following year’s calendar.

One esteemed juror selects the artists for the entire year’s solo programming; usually six artists. Those who have applied in the past and not gotten in, should consider reapplying since each juror’s aesthetic, ideology and point of view varies widely. Artists who’ve been awarded a solo show in the last five years at WAAM are ineligible for re-application.

Applications are open to all artists within a 50 mile radius of Woodstock, NY. Non-members pay a $40 application fee, (there is no fee for WAAM members). Artists selected for a solo show are asked to procure a full WAAM membership within 30 days of notification of their acceptance. The $40 non-member fee will be applied toward their annual membership fee. All submissions are welcome.

We recognise the need for artists to recharge, share ideas, be inspired and to find a place to breathe. We run 3 week long residencies for a maximum of nine artists with this idea in mind. The residency is not project based or requiring specific engagement or outcome but it is a place to find peace and new ideas. Artists from all disciplines are welcome to apply. As we are so remote we cannot offer internet access on a daily basis, but a walk up to “internet hill” or a trip into town is possible to catch up on emails. A Residency at Cafe Tissardmine is also an opportunity to discover the richness of the Amazigh culture, their way of life, cooking and crafts. The cost of the residency covers full board, accommodation and some transportation. Duration of residency In 2026/7 we offer stays of three weeks. You must also factor in that it can take up to two days to get to us so you need to factor in travel time. Accommodation SINGLE ACCOMMODATION. We have four adobe bedrooms around a central courtyard. All have en-suite bathrooms. We have recently upgraded our other accommodation, what used to be the camp is now five detached adobe cabins built around a central garden. All have private bathrooms. Disciplines, work equipment and assistance All disciplines welcome but due to lack of reliable internet, research based projects are not practical. Occasionally we invite artists from a specific discipline but in general we prefer to have a mix of disciplines. You will need to bring everything you need to do your work with you. Shopping in our area is limited…no artist supplies, print cartridges, film or even much paper! There are better supplies in Marrakech and Fes…if you have special requirements and not sure where to get them, email me and we can advise. We do our best to assist you in realising your project. We have in the past made a pottery wheel, built a kiln and created art works with artisans in town. Everything is possible, nothing is certain. Studio / Workspace We have one large studio (9m x 6m) with a small room attached. There are other spaces available for other work such as writing. Each room has a desk. The garden is laid out so that there are plenty of nooks to nestle and hide in… Fees and support A three week residency with full board costs 950 Euro plus tax. We are happy to provide a letter of support if you are applying for funding assistance. Expectations towards the artist It is your time, your project. You need to be self motivated and resourceful. We encourage engagement with the villag
