Laura has been invited to Art Omi as an Artist-in Residence during the summer of 2026. She was awarded a Charlotte Street Foundation Fellowship to ensure her participation in the residency.

From Art Omi:
”Art Omi invites artists, critics, and curators from around the world - representing a wide diversity of artistic styles and practices - to gather in rural New York to experiment, collaborate and share ideas. Concentrated time for creative work is balanced with the stimulation of cultural exchange and critical appraisal. Art Omi: Artists Residency nurtures deep creative and professional connections in a vibrant social setting.

Each session, two dozen international artists are invited to the program, along with two critics/curators who participate as Critic Emeritus and Critic/Curator-In-Residence. These two individuals play a pivotal role in the residency as they facilitate discussions, help connect the artists with art world professionals through the Visitors Program, and conduct individual studio visits with the artists in residence throughout the duration of the residency session. The Visitors Program enables residents to have conversations with visiting art critics, curators, gallerists and prominent artists. Direct engagement with the New York City art world is unmatched by similar residency programs. The residency culminates in the Open Studios event, offering the public a glimpse of what artists have created during their time at Art Omi.”

The public is invited to meet all of the artists-in-residence during an Open Studios event at Art Omi on July 11, 2026, 12 - 3 PM.
