About The Wassaic Project
The Wassaic Project is a dynamic, artist-run nonprofit located in the hamlet of Wassaic, NY, dedicated to using contemporary art and education to foster social change and strengthen community connections. Through year-round exhibitions, an acclaimed artist residency program, and expansive education initiatives, the Wassaic Project brings together artists and neighbors in collaborative dialogue that transcends economic and cultural boundaries. Housed in the striking Maxon Mills—a converted seven-story grain elevator—the organization showcases dozens of artists annually and activates public spaces across the hamlet with installations and performances.
At the heart of the Wassaic Project is a commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and creative generosity. With a robust education program that serves thousands of local students and one of the largest family-friendly residencies in the world, the Project empowers both emerging artists and young creatives alike. As a model for community revitalization through the arts, the Wassaic Project continues to expand its impact locally and nationally, promoting a vision of a culturally vibrant, socially inclusive, and cooperative rural community rooted in pride, respect, and imagination.
