The Platte Clove Residency, the only one in the country situated in the historic landscapes which were the inspiration for the Hudson River School, provides a tranquil and rustic workplace. Each summer the Catskill Center selects several artists to stay at our cabin in the Platte Clove Preserve. This rustic cabin is located atop a stunning 60’ box canyon waterfall, in the middle of more than two hundred acres of hiking trails, multi-tiered waterfalls and old growth forest. The residency is open to visual artists, writers, poets, composers, performing artists, and environmental researchers who have an affinity for the natural world. Residencies can last up to 5 days–Sunday night through Friday night.
