Looking Glass Arts Mission Statement

Looking Glass Arts is an artist-led non-profit residency organization in Upstate New York democratizing access to the space, time, and natural beauty critical to artistic growth and practice. Our programming prioritizes people of the Global Majority; artists who make up the bedrock of our cultural lives.

About the Multi-Disciplinary Residency

This retreat is offered to three artists, each from a different creative discipline. We encourage artists of all disciplines to apply; visual artists, writers, musicians, composers, jewelry makers, graphic artists, animators and more. This residency is self-directed.
