Description

The KinoSaito Residency Program is a studio and residency program designed to provide artists with the space and time necessary to focus concentrated attention on any part of their practice they feel is ripe for development. For this A.I.R. Open Call program, we will host two artists for a one time four-week session to be held November 12 – December 7, 2025. The aim of this program is to ensure that practicing artists, their ideas and their energy will be a constant presence at KinoSaito.


When Kikuo Saito and Mikiko Ino purchased this property and the much-treasured school building in 2014, it was their dream that it would one day serve as a space for artists to work, play, experiment and collaborate. The KinoSaito Studios give artists the freedom to work every day in a quiet setting free from outside demands and responsibilities.


Each selected artist will be awarded a generously proportioned 900 square foot studio located at KinoSaito in Verplanck, NY with large windows and high ceilings, a loft living quarters, a kitchenette, and a private bathroom for the duration of their residency. KinoSaito provides a $1,500 stipend to the accepted artists to use at their discretion for living costs and supplies during their residency. KinoSaito is not responsible for providing meals, art supplies or other materials to resident artists. Regular open studio events invite visitors to talk with artists and see works-in-progress.


The selected artists will be chosen by a jury of arts professionals based on the quality of the submitted work, and the artworks’ alignment with KinoSaito’s mission.
