SEEING THIS GUY, a program of festival specific events, installations, and participatory projects fostering human-to-human interaction on the Wassaic Project grounds.
SEEING THE SKY, the Wassaic Project's 7th annual Summer Exhibition, speaks about how artists explore, examine, and work within their environments. Viewers are invited to climb the seven stories of the Maxon Mills grain elevator, and experience the work of over 70 emerging artists, half of whom are Wassaic Artist Residency alumni.
Artist Talks throughout the weekend.
