New Residents
The Watermill Center, the global laboratory for the arts founded by Robert Wilson, has announced its 2025 artists-in-residence and fellowship recipients. Fifty-eight multidisciplinary artists from 18 countries will take part in fully-funded residences. Three of those artists, Moriah Evans, Monet Hurst-Mendoza, and Melih Kirac, will open their studios for In Process @ The Watermill Center on Friday, Feb. 14, at 5:30 p.m.
In addition, Cassiel Gaube, a Belgian choreographer, has received the inaugural 2025 Dance Reflections Fellowship, a program offered in partnership with Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels. Mr. Gaube’s work explores the intersection of various kinesthetic and choreographic practices.
Now in its sixth year, the Baroness Nina von Maltzahn Fellowship for the Performing Arts recognizes artists making significant contributions in performance art, theater, opera, music, and dance. This year’s fellows include the collaborators Holland Andrews and yuniya edi kwon; Uriel Barthelemi; Mehtap Baydu, and Lina Lapelyte.
The center’s artist residency program has been approved by the National Endowment for the Arts for a Grants for Arts Projects award of $25,000.
Native Plants
Next up in the lecture series of the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons is “Native Plants: From the Wild to the Garden,” a talk by Carolyn Summers, on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Bridgehampton Community House.
Ms. Summers will briefly discuss why native plants are essential to wildlife. She will explore design issues faced by gardeners who continue to add more native plants to their landscapes in order to reverse the decline, and discuss plants best suited to traditional gardens.
The author of “Designing Gardens With Flora of the American East,” Ms. Summers and her husband manage Flying Trillium Gardens and Preserve in Sullivan County, making it available for public tours.
The talk is $10, free for members.
