PUBLIC TOURS
The Watermill Center invites guests to walk through history, exploring our carefully curated art collection, expansive library, manicured gardens, and historic building. Tours of The Watermill Center offer a unique chance to see how our 10+ acre campus acts as a source of inspiration for our year-round Artists-in-Residence as they push the boundaries of creative practice.
The Center’s Sensory-Friendly Tours increase access to The Center through accommodations made for neurodiverse visitors. Natural lighting is used when possible, ambient sound is kept to a minimum, and materials will be made available prior to guest arrival to give attendees time to review and plan their visit.
