The Peekskill Project, a citywide site-specific exhibition of cutting-edge contemporary art, was launched in 2004 with the goal of bringing contemporary art out of the museum and into the community. The public arts festival presents a wide variety of painting, sculpture, photography, installations, video and performance art by national and international artists selected by a juried committee of renowned curators. Work by over 100 artists are selected from an elite curatorial committee which are sited in storefronts, parks, and in vacant lofts and lots around the city.
This year's edition will feature fifty five artists who concentrate on the dualistic nature of man's relationship to the earth. This exhibition will focus on indoor and outdoor site-specific works which use environmental and organic based materials in order to communicate this tumultuous marriage between humans and their habitat.
Using Peekskill as a stage, artwork will be sited throughout the city. The project utilizes Peekskill’s waterfronts. Annsville Park, St. Mary’s, St. Peter’s Church of Cortlandt, Clemente, 3 & CO, The Hat Factory, Maxwell Fine Arts, and Peekskill’s historic commercial district, as well as the HVCCA.
