LIGHT + AIR on Saturday, December 16, is a new experience that celebrates the connection between The Watermill Center’s international Artists-in-Residence, members, and the global community.
The evening will feature workshops, performance, a private art sale and the first-ever dinner event in The Residence. Designed by Roger Ferris and opened in 2020, The Residence is home to The Watermill Center’s year-round Artists-in-Residence and is typically closed to the public.
Ticket holders will be treated to a special gift from The Watermill Center – a complimentary 2024 Annual Membership. LIGHT + AIR coincides with the relaunch of The Watermill Center’s membership program, which grants members special access to private events and Artists-in-Residence throughout the year.
First introduced in 2015, it will now feature access to members-only events, exhibitions, curated creative content and more. LIGHT + AIR is open to all ages from 3 to 6 PM and will feature a movement workshop with Ogemdi Ude, a painting workshop inspired by the works of James Ulmer, a private art sale featuring works by Robert Wilson and past Artists-in-Residence, among other special objects, in time for the holiday season. The event will also feature a performance, DJ and refreshments including hot coco and wine around a bonfire.
Dinner in the Residence beginning at 6:30 PM is for those 21+ and will feature Chef Jason Weiner from Almond Restaurant.
