Please come and learn about the amazing work of our 2024 Artists in Residence. This summer we are thrilled to be joined by Artists Alice Yuan Zhang, Lee Pivnik, and Naoco Wowsugi. Free food and drinks will be provided! The Folly Tree Arboretum Residency was created to advance new bodies of work and serve as a research and development lab for individuals who engage with our contemporary relationship to the natural world. Artists in our residency program are nominated by curators, other artists, teachers, and administrators from diverse cultural, artistic and geographic backgrounds and institutions. The artists are chosen because their work exemplifies risk-taking, experimentation, and embodies the Arboretum's mission to develop novel forms of environmental storytelling. Artists receive a $2,000 stipend, as well as room and board in our historic 1894 farmhouse in East Hampton, NY.
