Initiated in 1999, The Sidney Kahn Summer Institute at The Kitchen is an annual three-week, intensive summer program, fully accredited by Sarah Lawrence College (3 credits), designed for college and graduate students as well as young professionals in the performing, visual, and media arts.
The Artistic Director for the 2006 Summer Institute is artist HARRELL FLETCHER, who will focus this year’s program on expanded ideas of art-making and creativity in relation to collaboration, social involvement, activism, and community. Throughout the three weeks, participants will explore a wide range of socially-responsive, community-based art practices and develop site-related projects while working with a range of public institutions, recreational facilities, and social service centers located in The Kitchen’s immediate vicinity. This rigorous teaching and mentoring program will include lectures, one-on-one sessions with faculty members, special screenings, field trips, and short assignments. In addition, the Summer Institute includes sessions on writing, publicity, and other administrative aspects necessary to becoming a professional artist working today.
The Kitchen’s 8th Annual Sidney Kahn Summer Institute is presented in collaboration with Sarah Lawrence College and is made possible with public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and with the generosity of its founding sponsor, Elizabeth Kahn Ingleby. Additional support has been provided by the Sidney Kahn Family Foundation. Special thanks to technology sponsor, TEKSERVE, NYC’s Premiere Apple Specialist located at 119 West 23rd Street in Manhattan.
