The Byrd Hoffman Water Mill Foundation develops new approaches to the arts, supports young artists with opportunities for professional growth, and documents the work of its Artistic Director, Robert Wilson. The Foundation pursues this mission with a spirit of innovation exemplified by Robert Wilson's own work, an approach which encourages interdisciplinary collaboration. The Foundation's programs include workshops, educational programs, and residencies at The Watermill Center; The Robert Wilson Archive, a collection of photographs, papers, and video recordings which documents the artistic careers of Wilson and his collaborators; and The Watermill Collection, a vast and continuously expanding inventory of drawings, texts, sculpture, furniture and other artifacts.
