SPACE on Ryder Farm is a non-profit residency program in the performing arts, located about an hour north of New York City on Ryder Farm in Brewster, New York. It provides residencies intended to invigorate artists and their work while supporting the sustainability and resourceful preservation of one of the oldest organic family farms on the East Coast. Residencies run from June through October and are awarded to individuals and groups who articulate detailed, distinctive goals for their time at SPACE. The organization operates as a small, mission-driven entity that sits within the broader New York City metropolitan area’s cultural ecosystem. Its setting combines creative development with rural land stewardship to support ongoing artistic practice. A notable recent development is SPACE on Ryder Farm's November 2023 launch of a five-year initiative called Come to the Table, which expands its programming. The organization is active within the performing arts community as a residency hub that supports artists in pursuing goal-driven work in a rural setting near NYC. Based in Brewster, New York, SPACE on Ryder Farm continues to offer residencies in the summer and early fall to support goal-oriented work in the performing arts.
