Engage with artists and thinkers from around the world through our unique and innovative programming.
The Watermill Center invites guests to walk through history, exploring our carefully curated art collection, expansive library, manicured gardens, and historic building. Tours of The Watermill Center offer a unique chance to see how our 10+ acre campus acts as a source of inspiration for our year-round Artists-in-Residence as they push the boundaries of creative practice.
The Center’s Sensory-Friendly Tours increase access to The Center through accommodations made for neurodiverse visitors. Natural lighting is used when possible, ambient sound is kept to a minimum, and materials will be made available prior to guest arrival to give attendees time to review and plan their visit. The Watermill Center’s sensory-friendly tours are open to all.
The Watermill Center grounds and gardens are open from dawn to dusk for the community to freely explore throughout the year, outside of scheduled events and public programming.
