Haunted Mill at Wassaic Project

The Haunted Mill is Wassaic Project's annual, one-night-only Halloween event.

This year’s Haunted Mill will be loosely “Haunted Carnival” themed. This year we are accepting a few types of proposals: site-specific installations for the first floor of Maxon Mills, outdoor installations, and performances. We will prioritize interactive and immersive proposals. We want to see your haunted carnival games, your creepy trick or treat stations, and all of the spooky experiences you dream up.

Artists will have complete creative control over their installation, as long as they keep their work PG-13. Wassaic is looking for artists who are excited to participate and get weird, and who are self-directed and independent with their projects. For installation artists, Wassaic offers housing in one of the residency houses (for 1–3 weeks between October 6 and October 29, 2022) alongside private studio space in Maxon Mills, additional studio space in Luther Barn, and full access to our wood shop and print shop. Wassaic also offers all participating artists and artistic teams a modest honorarium.
