Festival: 2010

August 13th-15th, 2010

The 2010 Summer Festival will feature over 80 artists, 25 bands, poetry readings, dance performances, film screenings, and much more. Our website will have a detailed schedule of events, periodic updates, as well as artist and musician bios. Housed in and around historic buildings in Wassaic, NY, The Wassaic Project’s summer festival escapes the white walls of traditional art spaces and focuses on site-sensitive installations and performances. As visitors climb through the vertical bins of our historic wooden skyscraper, they explore the work of over 80 emerging contemporary artists, whose bold and intricate installations, paintings, sculptures and videos responded beautifully to the unique architecture. This festival creates a weekend-long opportunity for the public, as well as artists of all mediums, to come together, exchange ideas, learn new things, and engage in a thriving arts community.

Our Film Program, curated by Liliana Greenfield-Sanders, includes a short film directed by James Franco, the Student Academy Award Winning short film “God of Love” directed by Luke Matheny, an award winning independent feature film and many more. Our Poetry Program, curated by James Sherry and Kate Schapira, includes Ann Lauterbach, Michael Gottlieb, and Jeffrey Yang. Our Dance Program includes Naomi Goldberg Haas, Charmaine
Warren, and Malinda Ray Allen.
