Birdy’s House (Delhi, NY)
Summer 2025 Artist Residency
We want to thank Birdy’s House in Delhi, New York for offering us a 2-week residency this summer. The space, a two-story house in the heart of town, is quiet, welcoming, and perfect for focused work.
The owner/director/host (and writer!) Kay Keppler sets each person up with a private bedroom and prepares all the meals. We encourage creatives who are looking for a comfortable space that is conducive to productivity to make an application for the 2026 season.
Our time in residence was divided into two visits. The first week, in mid-July, gave us an invaluable opportunity to explore the Western edge of our research area.
We met with NYCDEP forester and vintage baseball enthusiast Collin Miller, visited John Burroughs’ Woodchuck Lodge, and met with librarians in Roxbury and Fleischmanns.
Our second visit, a month later, has provided us with vital time to get organized after a long, productive summer.
We spent time updating our website with recent research, preparing for our next residency at the Woodstock Artists Association, and planning our project with the Skene Memorial Library. We also visited Pratt Rock in Prattsville, NY.
