This year's theme is a nod to 100 years of the original building and the laboratory it once was for Western Union. Today, as a laboratory for the arts and humanities, creativity and experimentation inspire Watermill's present and most importantly its future.

"Experimentation is to ask what is it? This question shall remain throughout the life of an artist. It is the reason we work as artists." - ROBERT WILSON, FOUNDER + ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF THE WATERMILL CENTER
