The Mill’s curated exhibition program is comprised five unique galleries of varying sizes and site-specific commissioned installations throughout the 11,000 square foot historic flour mill on Main Street in Westport, NY. Forging a new paradigm for the art world, The Mill features long term exhibitions of its commissioned artworks in addition to paintings on loan from the Haskins’ personal collection, as well as works on consignment from artists and their primary galleries
The Mill’s commissioned art program invites established contemporary artists from across the United States to create site-specific works in painting, sculpture, and installation. A collaborative process between the artist and curator Catherine Haskins allows for the artists to explore new territory in their practice, while integrating their work into the existing architecture to create an unexpected immersive experience for visitors. Works by Jillian Mayer (FL), Adam Frelin (NY), Ann Toebbe (IL), Stephen Hendee (MD), Phoebe Washburn (NY) and Amy Ellingson (NM) are on view during The Knock hours.
Catherine received her BA from Dartmouth College in studio art, attended Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in 2002 and was a recipient of the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation Space Program in 2005.
