About the Fall 2011 / Spring 2012 Artist Residency Program
The Watermill Center Residency Program began in 2006, and in five seasons has hosted 72 artist residencies. The Residency Program runs from September to June and gives young artists the opportunity to live and work at The Watermill Center as a home to create and develop new work. Each residency varies in length according to artists’ and project needs, and generally lasts from one to four weeks. A distinguished international selection committee composed of interdisciplinary artists, academics, and cultural leaders (see below) meets in July each year to select the artist groups that will be invited to the residency program.

In addition to creating and developing their own work, artists share their creative process at Watermill with the public through open rehearsals, workshops, and/or artist talks. Through partnership initiatives, some residencies go on to showcase their work in NYC and abroad.

Watermill draws inspiration from all the arts and cultures as well as from social, human and natural sciences. Watermill is a global community of artists. Living and working together among the extensive collection of art and artifacts lies at the heart of the Watermill experience. Watermill is a haven for the next generations of artists, supporting their work among a network of international institutions and venues that embrace new interdisciplinary approaches.

Artists-in-residence will have to complete and submit their series by 3 September, 2011, in order to participate in the exhibition that will start at the end of 2011.

Artists will receive a $1,000 USD stipend and shared accommodation with a personal room in the vicinity of the Izolyatsia gallery space. Travel expenses to Donetsk up to $1,000 USD will be covered. Translators and fixers can be arranged in advance. If needed, letter of invitation for visa applications will be provided.

IZOLYATSIA will print and retain all works included in the exhibition. Photographers will hold all the copyrights relating to those works. A book about the project will be published to coincide with the opening of the exhibition.
