Help Us Welcome our 2026 Denniston Hill’s Residency Season.
This year, we welcome thirty artists, poets, filmmakers, writers, musicians, choreographers, researchers, chefs, sculptors, and photographers to Denniston Hill who demonstrate how artistic practices can become points of connection within larger networks of collaboration and collective support. Artists have always known that no work is generated in a vacuum. Creation is embedded in friendship, in community, and in the networks of diaspora, stewardship and resistance that Denniston Hill continues to build.
Denniston Hill’s residency program is driven by its ‘for-artists-by-artists’ ethos, which understands the residency itself as a critical component within the larger ecosystem of artistic production.This season we are launching three new partnerships:
Photosynthesis, a climate-focused fellowship spanning four continents and created by a coalition of six arts organizations: Denniston Hill, @luma_arles (France), @pivoartepesquisa (Brazil), @srihatta_sylhet (Bangladesh), @tatestives (UK) and @themothership_tangier (Morocco).
The RISE Residency @riseresidency created in partnership with the Marcus Samuelsson Group, supports Black culinary professionals forwarding the diaspora and ancestral lines of food and cuisines brought to the United States from Africa.
And a new emerging artist residency with YoungArts @youngarts, the only national organization that champions artists throughout their lifetimes and across all art forms.
Please join us in celebrating Denniston Hill’s 2026 cohort! More summer happenings are coming soon. Be well, and stay with us!

During Late July, we had Residents @skyhopinka, @eelpicnic @julianbrolaski @jvaldesart here at Denniston Hill
They shared their individual modes of making with eachother, ordered pizza, made a salad from the garden, and Lee roasted a whole trout (still thinking about it).
Lee and Juana found a baby bird that had fallen from it’s nest in the Maple tree in the front yard, and we nursed the baby bird all together for a few days until it could be taken to a bird rehabber. Julian and Lee felt especially moved to be part of a queer interspecies family.
Julian and Lee spent much of their time at the river together and individually. They took the river floats and floated downstream several times, looking for Eagles as they went.
“I probably spent more time in or at the river than anywhere. It was magic.” - Lee
Overall the residents took the opportunity to slow down, take in the environment and collaborate with it, and build on their individual practices.

#InMinorKeys: Giardini
“Denniston Hill è una residenza per artisti e una piattaforma culturale situata in un terreno boschivo di 220 acri nel sud delle Catskill Mountains, nel cuore del territorio ancestrale del popolo Esopus di Lenapehoking. [...] Denniston Hill è nato come un luogo in cui il paesaggio stesso ci spinge a metterci in gioco con il nostro lavoro. Più che un esperimento utopico, Denniston Hill è stato concepito come uno strumento per pensare e agire in modo radicale, per reimmaginare un’ecologia della creatività al di là dei limiti imposti dal mercato e per riflettere con un approccio critico sui modi in cui l’arte e l’architettura sono state usate sia per incatenare che per liberare i nostri sensi.”
Visita la 61. Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte a Venezia fino al 22 novembre!

“@dennistonhill is an artist residency and cultural platform rooted in 220 acres of forested land in the southern Catskill Mountains, within the ancestral territory of the Esopus people of Lenapehoking. [...] Denniston Hill began as a site where the landscape supported us to take chances with our own work. More than a utopian experiment, Denniston Hill was initiated as an effort to think and act radically, to reimagine an ecology of creativity beyond the limitations of the marketplace, and to think critically about the ways art and architecture have been used to both enslave and liberate our senses.”

Resident @ligiamlewis spent a solo week here at Denniston Hill over the summer, where she worked on choreography in our Barn house Studio alongside her family (such a joy to witness). Followed by multiple picnics by the river and ponds with friend and community.

Another beautiful Season from earlier in the summer with the amazing @asiastewart, Samba Jean-Baptiste, @simonspeiser, @stephaniecomilang, and @youngjoonkwak.
Rest, exploration, beauty, and creating were the through-line.
Where Asia Stewart rehearsed, sewed the costume for, and performed her piece ‘After Air.’ Samba worked on his album. Simon and Stephanie worked on their collaborative experimental film about cacao, and Young Joon Kwak rested and worked.

Can you believe that today is the last day of summer, and what a beautiful summer it was.
Thank you to everyone who came out to our beautiful Annual Summer Party, where we ate amazingly delicious food from HECHO POR JULIA and danced the day away with music by HEAVY PLEASURE.
And of course, again, special thank you to our Community Collaborators:

¡Hola, DH familia!
I’m Sofía Reeser del Rio, Curatorial Assistant for CHIMERA, Denniston Hill’s contribution to In Minor Keys, curated by Koyo Kouoh for the 61st International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale.
Koyo imagined the installations of In Minor Keys as “archipelagos, small islands, gardens, and courtyards” representing the “intimate worlds artists build to sustain themselves, especially in bad times.” Following her curatorial lead, CHIMERA has been a beautiful opportunity for Denniston Hill to reflect on nearly two decades of work as an artist-led institution and reunite with the 400+ artists who have been a part of its residency program. Ultimately, CHIMERA presented the organization as a constellation of encounters, diasporas, and relationships, an archipelago of individual artistic forms brought together by communal life.
As we move into these final months of the Venice Biennale, I’ll share how we rendered Denniston Hill’s collective identity into a physical form for Biennale visitors to experience their own moments of rest, reflection, and perhaps even reimagining ecologies of creativity and connectivity beyond the borders of a nation-state pavilion structure. I hope these dispatches bring you a little closer to Denniston Hill, our brilliant CHIMERA collaborators, and the multiplicities within the “I’s” and “we’s” that make up our worlds…especially for these times.
More soon,
— Sofía❤️

This has certainly been a summer to remember. Across New York City, people spilled into the streets and stayed there. Block parties and parades became a way of life. We’ve all been outside, learning what a civic infrastructure rooted in equity and care can feel like.
Every residency season, Denniston Hill hosts a similar mode of rhythmic world building. The borders between individual geographies and modes of artistic practice soften, replaced by familiar flows of studio time, shared meals, collective study, performances-in-progress, the river, and rituals for full moons. We see each other anew.
In 2026, we’ve welcomed writers, painters, filmmakers, chefs, sisters, partners, old friends, and whole families. And the season isn’t over! But we can feel the weather turning. It’s time to sharpen tools, gather supplies, and strategize for the road ahead. Music, dancing, delicious food, laughter, neighbors, sunshine, and a cool breeze are definitely on the “Required” list.
So, come as you are, bring your favorite people, and let’s send this summer off the way it was lived: together and unwavering with hope. We can’t wait to see you.

Join us on Tuesday, July 21 for a special performance by @akionda_official and @zach___rowden at Denniston Hill.
During their residency, Aki Onda developed a new iteration of “Spirits Known and Unknown”, a performance featuring found brass bells that explores the many meanings bells hold across cultures, as symbols of spirituality, peace, remembrance, and, at times, war. Joined by collaborator @zach___rowden, Onda brings this newly created score to life for one evening in the Barn at Denniston Hill.
Aki Onda: Spirits Known and Unknown

One month into @dennistonhill installation “Chimera” at the 61st International Art Exhibition of @LaBiennale di Venezia, we’re revisiting some of the custom design and millwork elements that support the exhibition’s curatorial vision. Presented within “In Minor Keys,” curated by the late Koyo Kouoh, “Chimera” brings together works by over 150 Denniston Hill alumni in a room-sized collective portrait. Drawing on the Surrealist game Exquisite Corpse, the installation reimagines the chimera as a collective body assembled from sculptures, drawings, videos, sound works, paintings, and photographs.
Thank you to Robert Vinas Jr @rvinasjr for building various mock-ups and collaborating with us on the millwork details. The exhibition is on view through November 22, 2026, at the Giardini’s Central Pavilion.
