Omi is situated on 300 acres of rolling farmland with spectacular views of the Catskills and the Hudson River Valley, two and a half hours north of New York City.

Founded in 1991 by Francis Greenburger–real estate investor, entrepreneur, literary agent and art enthusiast, Omi International Arts Center has been guided by the principle that artistic expression transcends economic, political, and cultural boundaries.

Omi seeks to foster an environment of creative exploration and exchange, professional opportunity and exposure, and a stylistically and culturally diverse community for creative artists from around the world.

Through various programs and resulting public events – including the Residency Programs, The Fields Sculpture Park, Architecture Omi, and Education Omi – Omi contributes to the vibrant culture of the entire Northeast region of the United States.
