The Watermill Center:A laboratory for the arts and humanities

Founded in 1992 by avant-garde visionary and theater director Robert Wilson, The Watermill Center is an interdisciplinary laboratory for the arts and humanities located on Long Island’s East End.

With an emphasis on creativity and collaboration, Watermill integrates performing arts practices with resources from the humanities, research from the sciences and inspiration from the visual arts. The Center is unique in the global landscape of experimental artistic practices and regularly convenes the brightest minds from across disciplines to do, in Wilson’s words, “what no one else is doing.”
