Resident Art

R e s i d e n t   A r t i s t   P r o g r a m

Are you an aspiring poet looking for an audience, a musician interested in jamming with other artists, a photographer seeking information about new photo techniques? The Putnam Arts Council's Resident Artist Program offers opportunities to network with other artists in your field, critique each other's work in a supportive environment, and to initiate projects and performances.

Some of the resident artist groups meet at Tilly Foster Farm in Brewster. (see map) Contact the resident art group for their next meeting date and location.

  The Photographic Eye

The Photographic Eye is a group of photographers who are dedicated to producing fine art photography. Our club members pursue creative photography in a variety of mediums, including black & white, color, mixed media, and digital. Our subject matter is also varied including pictorials, photojournalism, portraiture, and nudes. Join us on our picture taking field trips and nude photography work shops. Learn more about photography and show your work at our monthly meetings. Exhibit your pictures at various galleries and business establishments throughout Westchester, Putnam, Manhattan, and in our on-line gallery.
