OUR FLICK GALLERY ARTISTS
SUNNY POINT ARTIST IN RESIDENCE AND ART RETREAT
Artists are innately drawn to the natural beauty of the Finger Lakes region. In 2008, thanks to a generous donation to the Arts Center of Yates County from the estate of Dr. Annie Smith, artists have an additional opportunity to fully experience the beauty of the Finger Lakes. This prime location on the east side of Keuka Lake boasts lake frontage, a charming guest cottage, art workshop and pottery boathouse. It is open from June through October.
ACYC Sunny Point is located at 868 East Lake Road Dundee, NY, eight miles south of Penn Yan, NY.
ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
This no cost residency is open to visual artists, literary artists, and performing artists who demonstrate professional standing in their field. This residency offers a 10 day use of the Arts Center of Yates County’s lakeside facility, Sunny Point. Keuka Lake is located in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York.
This opportunity includes the expectation that the participating artist will 'give back' to the Arts Center in some way—teach a class, do a demonstration, provide a piece of artwork associated with their stay at Sunny Point, or some other 'in kind' donation. Travel and meals are not included.
Artist in Residence program dates for 2023 include:
Friday, June 30 - Sunday, July 9, 2023, or
Friday, September 1 - Sunday, September 10, 2023
