Since opening in 2013, Ós Residency has welcomed textile artists and scholars from around the world. Their work has been featured at Art Brussels (Hannah Epstein), Lake Como Design Fair (Signe Emdal), Textile Arts Center in New York (Ýr Jóhannsdóttir), Fashion Pop Montreal (WhiteFeather Hunter), Penland Gallery (Amy Tavern), the Art Institute of Chicago (Christy Madson), and many other international venues, festivals, and exhibitions.

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