A collaboration with Bard College, The Freehand Fellowship is intended to foster and support artists in various disciplines, from diverse backgrounds and at all stages of their career. A one-of-a-kind artistic undertaking, partly inspired by the building’s history as a haven for creatives, throughout the year, selected artists will have the unique opportunity to live, work and exhibit at the hotel as our artist-in-residence.

The Freehand Fellows are selected by our partner Bard College from a pool of alumni of the Bard MFA Program and affiliated artists of the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts.
