PROGRAMS

Amery Kessler, Artist in Residence June 2022

ARTIST RESIDENCIES: We provide opportunities and space for artists to experiment, create, process, ruminate, and fine tune their work. This includes partially and fully subsidized early stage creative residencies, late stage technical residencies, and presentational opportunities at Chapman Steamer Arts, with our partner presenters, and collaborators.

PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS: We make artistic practice, process, and presentation accessible to the community of Newburgh and surrounding areas. This includes offerings of free or partially subsidized arts programming each year, educational workshops with local & visiting artists, open rehearsals/studios with artists in residency, post show meet n' greets, site specific public art happenings, open mic events, and beyond.

COLLABORATION & EDUCATION: We create sustaining partnerships with local orgs and educational institutions to develop collaborative programs that partner artists with youth and community members so that they may create together.
