The Watermill Center: 2025 International Summer Program

Type: Residencies, Workshops, Exchanges [View all]
Posted by: The Watermill Center
Deadline: Wed, February 19th, 2025

The International Summer Program is an exceptional residency that brings 20 artists together for four weeks at The Watermill Center.

Participants are invited to develop new works alongside emerging artists and established creative professionals from various countries and disciplines. They exchange ideas, share practices, attend workshops, and collaborate on projects in a communal and experimental environment that encourages them to push the boundaries of contemporary creative practice. Participants also have opportunities to work with Founder/Artistic Director Robert Wilson on workshops, rehearsals, and installations.

The program culminates in a festival of works developed during the residency, alongside works by renowned artists across dance, visual arts, theater, music, and performance art.

During the program, artists are immersed in an extensive collection of resources, including The Watermill Center Collection, the Library of Inspiration, and ten acres of landscaped grounds and sculpture gardens.

To learn more about how to apply, please refer to our FAQ at https://www.watermillcenter.org/summer/. There is a $12 USD fee per application required by SlideRoom. Payment is accepted on the SlideRoom website. 

While all applications must include a project proposal, the primary goal of the selection process is to determine overall participation in the program. Some proposals may be selected for eventual presentation while other artists will be selected independent of their proposals.

The program is open to national and international artists 18+ years of age. A variety of disciplines are accepted, including, but not limited to: visual arts, media/new genre, performance, architecture, film/video, literature, theater, dance, interdisciplinary arts, and music composition.

Working knowledge of English is helpful for international artists, as an interpreter will not be provided.

 

The Watermill Center is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity for all persons regardless of race, sex, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and disability.
