Mount Tremper Arts (MTA) is dedicated to reframing how we support the development of works of art.
Since 2008, the creation of a space by and for artists where dialogue, risk-taking, and inquiry could thrive outside the dictates of market-driven forces has been central to our mission. This year, we deepen our commitment to building artistic community with the Watershed Laboratory, a new model that incorporates year-round residencies, presenting activities, and institutional partnerships.
Guided by the metaphor of the Catskill Mountains as the watershed for New York City, the Watershed Lab positions MTA as the artistic headwaters for partnering organizations downstream: artworks developed here through residencies and performances will gather momentum as they travel to NYC and beyond.
Whether waiting for a piece to begin inside our studio or discussing it afterwards around the campfire, your participation helps frame what these artworks can and will be. ART-B-Q Fridays, our series of informal dinner performances, is explicitly curated to cultivate lively, enriching exchanges between artists and audience members.
