PROCESS Art Space @ THE MILL, WESTPORT, NY

PROCESS Art Space is The Mill’s curated exhibition program comprising five unique galleries of varying sizes and site-specific commissioned installations throughout the newly renovated 11,000 square foot historic flour mill on Main Street in Westport, NY.

Curated by Catherine Ross Haskins, the program highlights the importance of process to innovation. Paintings in the galleries by mid-career and well established contemporary artists serve as a focal point when accompanied by a selection of exploratory drawings, prints or film from the artist. Site-specific installations integrated into the building provide invited artists the opportunity to expand their practice while transforming the existing architecture into an unexpected immersive experience.

Each of the exhibiting artists in the 2024-25 curated program were selected to bring new light into an old building. While not inherently the focus of all the work, a luminescence or levity can be found everywhere.

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. From 1998 to 2015 her video work was presented continuously in exhibitions & festivals internationally. Venues included PS1 Museum and Reina Sofia Museum, with solo exhibitions at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design and New Britain Museum.

The Mill (est. 2024) endeavors to support the creative practice of contemporary artists and musicians while providing engaging cultural experiences for visitors.
