About the Wassaic Project
The Wassaic Project is an artist-run, multidisciplinary arts organization founded by Bowie Zunino, Eve Biddle, and Elan Bogarin, finding home in a refurbished grain mill in Wassaic, NY. In the summer of 2008, this picturesque little hamlet became the site of a week-long arts festival with the mill serving as venue for 40 artists, 15 musicians and 500 visitors. Riding on the success of their previous year, the 2009 festival hosted 100 artists and 2500 visitors. Jeff Barnett-Winsby joined as co-director in 2008.
Participating Artists:
Ben Bigelow, Disorientalism, Ghost of a Dream, Janine Iverson, Karl LaRocca, Amanda Lechner, Corina Reynolds, Sarah Nicole Phillips, Tomie Seo, Amanda Tiller, Breanne Trammell, Brindalyn Webster, Leah Wolff and Jing Yu.
John Gilvey is a partner in Hudson Beach Glass and glass artist. Jennifer Mackiewicz is an independent arts consultant and curator living in Beacon. She recently curated the show “small” at Hudson Beach Gallery.

The exhibition will be a post utopian installation which will serve as a distribution point for free publications by a host of other artists, designers, cartoonists and illustrators.
This exhibition will transform the gallery space, sparking new relationships between creators and audience, and will lead to a range of interesting interdisciplinary connections within an experimental gift economy. This arrangement is informed by Emmons’ own aesthetic, but the conceptual connections between print, community, and utopian experiments are made stronger when put in conversation with architectural phenomena and notions of displacement.
Amze Emmons is a artist, illustrator, curator, living and working in Philadelphia, PA. Born in rural upstate New York. He received a BFA Ohio Wesleyan University. He went on to receive his MA and MFA from the University of Iowa. His work is exhibited both nationally and internationally.
