Founded in 2009, by the artist April Gertler.
It is a nonprofit artist initiated hybrid residency/art academy which encourages participating artists to engage in an active discourse surrounding art and contemporary photography while simultaneously giving them a chance to develop their work. This perspective is unusual within a European residency context as the program facilitates each individual approach by offering close mentoring from internationally practicing artists and free-lance curators based in Berlin.

The Shandaken Project
Supports experimentation by emerging and mid-career artists, writers and thinkers, and curators and other producers of culture with free residencies that include room, board, and studio space.
The project aims for a high degree of sustainability by remaining intentionally small-scale and focusing fundraising efforts on low monthly donations with high-value rewards. It encourages a lively creative community to contribute ideas that help shape the project through its Core Group program. The Shandaken Project provides the public with free educational lectures and exhibitions of contemporary art.
I was lucky to be awarded a residency during the first season of this unique residency. Friend, support, spread the word.
