Program Description

The residency at the Platte Clove cabin is near the villages of Tannersville & Hunter in upstate New York. Situated at the Catskill Center’s Platte Clove Preserve, artists will reside in a cabin on the edge of 208 wild, pristine acres full of hiking trails, multi-tiered waterfalls, and old growth forests. In the cabin there is electricity, a gas heat stove, a gas cook-top stove/oven, refrigerator, and a telephone. The cabin does not have running water—there is an outhouse behind the building and there are no showers. The residency is open to visual artists, writers, poets, composers, performing artists, and environmental researchers who have an affinity for the natural world. Residencies can last up to 5 days – Sunday night through Friday evening. The work produced should foster an appreciation of the environment through the aesthetics of art.
