Current and past residents

Since opening in 2013, Ós Residency has welcomed textile artists, makers, and scholars from around the world. Work developed by residents has been presented at major international art and design fairs, galleries, museums, festivals, and exhibitions, including Art Brussels, Lake Como Design Fair, the Textile Arts Center in New York, Fashion Pop Montreal, Penland Gallery, the Art Institute of Chicago, and many other venues worldwide.

Residents include tailors and dressmakers, fashion designers, textile developers, educators, exhibiting artists, costume designers, knitters, and historic weavers. Since 2017, the Ós Residency Catalog has documented both the residents and the work created at the Textile Center.
