The Wassaic Project
 | This article has an unclear citation style. (December 2011) |
The Wassaic Project is an artist-run arts organization located in Wassaic, New York. Currently it consists of a year-round competitive residency program and summer arts programming which culminate in a large, free summer festival (usually in August) which is in its ninth year.
The organization makes use of restored historic buildings in the hamlet of Wassaic, including Maxon Mills and Luther Barn. Maxon Mills, a seven-story former wood crib grain elevator, has been converted into exhibition, office, and studio spaces, including Art NEST, a free drop-in creative space for kids. Luther Barn is home to artist-in-residence studios and the old cattle auction ring is used as a film exhibition space during the summer festival. The organization currently offers year round programming as well as an education program focused onsite and at the Webutuck consolidated school district serving the Towns of Amenia and Northeast.
The Wassaic Project is currently run by three Co-Directors: Eve Biddle, Jeff Barnett-Winsby, and Bowie Barnett-Zunino.
