Waterfall Arts





Residencies

Several times a year Waterfall Arts invites special guest artists to serve as an Artist-in-Residence in its mission-based Artists/Nature/Community program. Residencies vary in length and include a teaching, exhibition and community presentation component.
Partial list of past residencies:

Branching Out Mentoring Project- practicing artists work with young artists in their chosen discipline, provide some direction, collaboration, technical expertise and advice and encouragement.

Earth Week Residency - To celebrate Earth Day, local middle and high school students work with artists whose focus is re-use, recycling and energy conservation. Past earth week residency leaders include artists Abby Sadauckas in 2007 and Blake Hendrickson in 2008. In 2009, artist Mark Kelly worked with Waldo County Technical Center and home-schooled students to create sculpture out of found objects..

Summer Residency - Artists selected for their focus of art+nature make work in Belfast or Montville during the summer season., lead classes or workshops, give public talks and exhibit their work in the gallery. Past summer residencies include 2009's  "Desire Lines" where artist Nancy Manter and a group of enthusiastic volunteers made large drawings in mudflats, beaches and on rocks, photographed them, had a lot of fun and later put together a collaborative piece reflecting their experiences  Other summer artists in residence have been Avy Claire, Barbara Andrus and Kathy Levine.
