Cultural and Educational Foundation

The Byrd Hoffman Water Mill Foundation operates The Watermill Center, a unique laboratory for the arts and humanities that fosters a global community of artists. It provides the time, space, and freedom necessary for creative exploration and inspiration, encouraging artists to challenge and extend the norms of artistic practice. Through various programs, including artist residencies, open rehearsals, workshops, and talks, the foundation actively engages the community in the creative process. It also hosts events such as the Annual Summer Benefit, which supports its mission and initiatives. Generated from the website
