Denniston Hill was founded in 2004 by a
group of artists, architects, and writers
who were interested in exploration within
the visual arts, architecture, literature, the
sciences, and humanities and fostering
dialogue across disciplines through
residencies, exhibitions, and educational
programs. for at least five years before
that, the farm house, barn, and surrounding
forest and field were a place of exploration,
exchange, and renewal for what would
become Denniston Hill’s first board of
directors. Artists, architects, and writers
have used the Hill and its facilities as a
canvas, a studio, a source of inspiration,
and a place to re-charge. Denniston Hill’s
unique location in the southern catskills
invites site-related investigations from
artists, architects, writers, and scholars
in the visual arts, literature, architecture,
sciences, and the humanities.
