Haystack Mountain School of Crafts' 2022 Catalog of Summer Programs

SUMMER 2022 HAYSTACK MOUNTAIN SCHOOL OF CRAFTS

Workshops Open Studio Residency

SUMMER 2022 Welcome It’s hard to believe two years have passed since we gathered together on the Haystack campus. While this period of time has allowed us to imagine new ways of expanding our reach, there is nothing quite like the experience of being together, in person. We have missed you all so much.

The past few years have provided a rare opportunity to make Haystack an even stronger organization.

From growing our endowment and increasing scholarship support to completing major studio upgrades across campus, great care has gone into every decision we have made. This coming season features a remarkable and inspiring group of faculty exploring the intersections of craft, art, and design in broad and expansive ways. Nearly all of our workshops are designed for all levels of experience, and regardless of your background there is a place for you here.

While we plan to resume programming at full capacity, we also recognize the pandemic continues to impact our lives. Much has been learned about how we can safely gather by relying on clear and consistent protocols, and this season Haystack will be requiring all staff, faculty, and participants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. We will continue to be transparent about our evolving approach to the coming season, and appreciate the support and trust you have placed in us.

It will be such a pleasure to welcome you back.

RECOGNITION

Taking the time to make Haystack an even stronger organization Last April, Haystack launched a series of free online programs that had more than 4,000 views from participants from thirty-eight countries. Our Fab Lab completed production of nearly 6,000 items of personal protective equipment, all of which were donated to local organizations to help keep people safe during COVID. Exciting new studio improvements were completed across campus—from equipment and infrastructure upgrades, to beautifully designed benches and storage units, built on-site by our extraordinary staff. We also piloted a new program that explores emerging technologies and craft-based processes and continued to deepen our partnerships with area schools and young people in our community. All of these activities have been guided by our new Strategic Plan, which places equity at the core of our work.

In 2022 we will be increasing scholarship support by eliminating work-study requirements, providing travel support to 100% of scholarship recipients, implementing a three-year increase in faculty compensation, and investing in new staff positions.

We will also be undertaking a comprehensive campus planning process to envision the next chapter in the School’s history, with a focus on accessibility, sustainability, and historic preservation.

Designed by noted American architect Edward Larrabee Barnes, Haystack’s iconic campus on Deer Isle is considered an outstanding example of modernist architecture.

The timeless design of the buildings and their relationship to the surrounding landscape have a profound impact on the experience of being at the School. We are proud to be the stewards of such an extraordinary architectural treasure.

Robert Campbell, member of The American Institute of Architects and architecture critic for The Boston Globe, described the School as “so perfectly fitted to its site and its purpose that you never afterwards forget it.”

2021 The New York Times Style Magazine features Haystack Mountain School of Crafts as one of the 25 most significant works of postwar architecture.

2016 The Haystack Fab Lab (established in 2011 in partnership with MIT) is awarded the Distinguished Educators Award from the James Renwick Alliance; this award—the first given to a program—acknowledges the larger influence of the Haystack Fab Lab. 2009 Haystack is awarded a Maine Master Craft Artist Supporter Award from the Maine Crafts Association in recognition of the School’s distinguishing mark of excellence.

2006 Haystack is added to the National Register of Historic Places.

1996 Haystack receives The American Institute of Architects’ Twentyfive Year Award in recognition of the School’s design excellence.

1987 Haystack is awarded the American Craft Council’s Gold Medal Institutional Award for “trailblazing leadership and longtime service in education.”

LIFE AT HAYSTACK LIFE AT HAYSTACK The human scale of Haystack is integral to the way we teach and learn, and rather than developing plans for expansion, we are committed to maintaining the intimacy of the School and the delicate relationship it has to the surrounding landscape.

Standing

on the deck

overlooking Jericho Bay, Haystack is a breathtakingly beautiful place that is hard to forget. The School began as an experimental community of artists and has come to be a highly influential research and studio program in the arts, attracting national and international audiences alike. From workshops for participants of all skill levels to a residency program, conferences, and dedicated offerings for Maine residents, we believe it is our responsibility to create pathways for people to come to this remarkable place and experience an educational model that is truly transformative.

Time at Haystack is marked by long, uninterrupted days in the studio surrounded by a community that cares deeply about what it means to explore ideas and work with their hands.

For some, this is an entirely new experience while for others a vital part of their daily lives. Regardless of your background, there is a place for you here.

American architect Edward Larrabee Barnes designed the Haystack 6

campus on Deer Isle, which opened to the public in the summer of 1961.

The architectural plan encourages community and interaction while seeming to float above the forest floor and in 1994 was awarded the coveted Twenty-five Year Award from The American Institute of Architects. As an organization, we are stewards of this architectural treasure and the delicate landscape on which it sits, and believe these to be defining characteristics of the School.

“Barnes’s finest accomplishment is not just an elegant set of buildings but an ideal space for collaboration: between artists and thinkers, humans and nature.”

THE 25 MOST SIGNIFICANT WORKS OF POSTWAR ARCHITECTURE NEW YORK STYLE MAGAZINE AUGUST 2, 2021

SCHEDULE Plan to arrive between 2 pm and 6 pm on the first Sunday of the session, checking into the main office when you arrive. Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm and a general orientation will take place at 7:30 pm. Following the orientation workshops will begin.

JULY 11–14, 2022

For the past 14 years, Haystack has been organizing summer conferences to explore ideas of craft, community, and the creative process. This year, Indigo Arts Alliance is reimagining an innovative gathering designed exclusively for artists from Black and Native American backgrounds.

This private, invitational gathering will take place July 11–14 on the Haystack campus. Re/Union: Re-Editioning Black + Native Histories will include talks by thought leaders, special meals by guest chefs, and workshops by visual and performance artists, writers, and scholars. The extraordinary team at Indigo has identified multigenerational participation by individuals at varying stages of their lives; from emerging and young professionals, to mid-career, and elders in their respective fields. This gathering will be a moment to rethink, revise, rewrite, and embrace multiple ways of interpreting and reading that which has been historically and culturally left out, rendered invisible, or appropriated.

Registration for Re/Union: Re-Editioning Black + Native Histories is not open to the public, but the proceedings will be made widely available as the subject of the next edition of Haystack’s long-running Monograph Series.

Re/Union: Re-Editioning Black + Native Histories has been informed by the goals of Haystack’s recent Strategic Plan and our commitment to broadening the audiences we collaborate with and learn from. Generous support has been provided by Haystack’s Windgate Foundation Endowment for Programs, with additional support from foundations and current year donors.

Indigo Arts Alliance is an artist residency and arts incubator in Portland, Maine, founded and created to amplify the creative voices, vision, and practice of artists of African descent. An integral aspect of the Indigo vision is to provide Mainebased artists of color access to a broader range of practicing Black artists and artists of color from around the world.

OPEN STUDIO RESIDENCY

Haystack's two-week Open Studio Residency kicks off our summer season of programs. The residency is designed to foster artistic exploration at the highest level, and those selected attend for free.

Haystack’s Open Studio Residency fosters a dynamic exchange of ideas among peers and provides two weeks of studio time and an opportunity to work in a community of makers. The program supports approximately fifty participants—from the craft field and other creative disciplines—who have uninterrupted time to work in six studios (blacksmithing/iron, ceramics, fiber, graphics, metals, and wood) to develop ideas and experiment in various media. Participants can choose to work in one particular studio or move among them depending on the nature of their work. All of the studios are staffed by technicians who can assist with projects. Please 14 OPEN STUDIO R E S IDE NC Y: M AY 2 9 – J U N E 1 0

note that technicians will not be leading workshops. If you are interested in learning specific skills, you may want to apply to one of the workshop sessions.

The Haystack Fab Lab will also be open, providing an opportunity for experimentation with digital fabrication as a way for residents to augment and complement their creative practices. In addition to open studios, there will be time for participants to share work and discuss ideas across disciplines. Individuals working in craft, art, design, writing, and other creative disciplines—and who are self-directed and focused—are encouraged to apply.

RESIDENCY APPLICATION DEADLINE: MARCH 1 SELECTION CRITERIA An independent committee reviews applications to the Open Studio Residency and both national and international artists working in a variety of disciplines are eligible for consideration. Past participants may reapply to the residency but preference may be given to first time applicants. Selection is based on work samples, the nature and scope of the project that will be done during the residency (if applicable), and the ability to work in a creative community. All applications are for the entire two-week session.

Participants must be twenty-one years of age or older and students enrolled in an academic program during the time of the residency are eligible to apply.

Haystack is committed to a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We do not discriminate against any individual or group of individuals on the basis of age, color, disability, gender identification, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, economic status, or veteran status. All are welcome. For special needs or questions about accessibility, please contact our office.

APPLICATION FEE Open Studio Residency applicants will pay a nonrefundable application fee of $50 at the time of submitting their application through SlideRoom.

“One of the most memorable parts of the residency was the diversity in creative approaches and the broader sense of community. People worked freely across disciplines and as a result there was constant experimentation and growth.”

Practical &Traditional Japanese Pottery Making Techniques

Over/Under

Combining jewelry and larger metalworking techniques, we will explore ways to create utensils of mostly brass, copper, and steel. Through demonstrations and experimentation, students will make their own eating and/or serving utensils— for practical use or for pure sculptural concepts. Techniques encouraged can include cold and hot forming (hand forging, stock removal, dapping, forming over shapes), cold connections (riveting, wrapping, exploring alternative joinery), finishing (angle grinding, filing, sanding), and combining materials (found or brought such as wood/bone/scrap metal).

All levels welcome.

Erica Moody is a metal craftsman working in Midcoast Maine, where she cultivates her line of forged and fabricated serving utensils, and continues her craft’s foundation of fabricating custom metal commissions for architects and designers, such as furniture and hardware. Moody has taught classes and workshops at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Wentworth Institute of Technology, Harvard Graduate School of Design, Penland School of Craft, Center for Metal Arts, and the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship. ericamoody.com @ericaemoody

SESSION 1

In this survey of surface design techniques, students will explore various methods to transform plain fabric into uniquely designed surfaces. We will build upon existing surface layers with image transfer, embroidery, appliqué, and Shibori dyeing techniques. Reverse appliqué will take us below the surface, where we will experiment with subtly revealing pattern and image through deliberate multi-layer stitching. This workshop is a great introduction for textile beginners and will provide advanced students with fresh approaches for surface manipulation. All levels welcome.

GRAPHICS Breaking Form

Using simple materials such as paper, cardboard, paint, and tape, we will enact a series of translations— small to large, flat to round, and solitary to collaborative. Primarily focused on drawing, painting, and collage, we will also explore printmaking and sculpture. Diving into the messiness of an open-ended process, we will fine-tune our awareness of the work’s unfolding, reveling in the surprise and intention evident there, and all the while, supporting each other to create a vibrant studio community. All levels welcome.

Radical Jewelry Takeover!

Hybrid Object Laboratory v2.0

Radical Jewelry Makeover (RJM) is an international traveling community jewelry mining and recycling project.

In this mini RJM workshop, participants stage a "takeover" and will learn to create jewelry through an RJM lens, with a focus on reuse, wise practices, mindful participation, and exploring the narratives behind our jewelry collection.

Utilizing some of the many leftover donations from previous RJM installments, we will create new "Madeover" pieces of jewelry. All levels welcome.

In this workshop students will learn traditional and alternative processes for making functional and sculptural hybrid objects: objects that present or perform unlikely combinations. The work will be assembled and carved, using both additive and subtractive techniques. We will cover joinery and construction of curved and not-square pieces, hand and power carving, and knife-work along with safe and appropriate machine and hand tool usage, and sharpening as we make objects the world has never imagined. All levels welcome.

Kathleen Kennedy is a sculptor, jeweler, and educator currently living in Richmond, VA. She is an Instructor and Metals Area Coordinator for the Department of Craft/Material Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).

Fabrication: Volume I

Big Impressions: Free-Form Press-Molds

Woven Hypothesis

This workshop will focus on the basics of steel fabrication with an emphasis on creating volumetric forms, both functional and sculptural. Students will dive right in with a handful of quick assignments and exercises in order to familiarize themselves with the many processes involved in steel fabrication. We will then take these newly developed skills and apply them to our own self-initiated projects.

Daily demonstrations will include, but not be limited to, technical drawing and layout, basic sheet forming techniques, welding and cutting, and finish work and patination. All levels welcome.

Free-form plaster press-molds combine the efficiency of producing multiples with the fluidity and tactility of handbuilding. These molds are well-suited with less bulk and weight for reproducing voluminous and big forms. This workshop will take students through the process of building durable and light(er) plaster press-molds entirely by hand.

Participants will model a clay form, produce a press-mold, and press casts from it. Strength, manageability, and usability of the overall mold and its parts will be emphasized. All levels welcome.

Weave on floor looms using traditional and innovative techniques. With an emphasis on exploration, we will investigate everything from overshot to painted warps, and from yarn to unconventional materials, as we develop new ways to embed ideas, data, and imagery into woven pieces. Everyone will learn about weaving drafts and create a varied collection of experimental samples on shared warps.

Solving for Intent

This workshop is a journey with Daniel Minter in the exploration of printmaking, collage, and painting. Beginning with sketching, drawing, and research, we will compile images that resonate with you personally. We will work toward creating patterns with narrative textures using images and materials such as paper, wood, thin metals, and natural and human-made objects to layer meaning and intent into our art. This will open the door for experimentation with new technologies such as digital laser cutting and digital graphics. Traditional linoleum and wood block carving will be used and covered throughout.

Exploring all types of materials is encouraged in order to create a narrative statement or conceptual idea through layering, collage, and assembling. All levels welcome.

Daniel Minter is a painter, sculptor, and assemblage artist exploring common echoes in the visual languages of the AfroAtlantic diaspora. Through his personal history and through his study of the cultural and religious creations of people of African descent, Minter has developed an iconography of Black futurity grounded in the narratives, traditions, and ethics of the US South but connected as well to Brazil, the Caribbean, and the African continent by means of his imaginative sensibilities. danielminter.net @d1minter

PHUC TRAN (Non)Fiction, Art(ifice), & (In)Authenticity 05

These afternoon conversations are intended to explore the ways our own stories and art can (and should) defy easy categorizing, even pushing and expanding the ideas of what is true or authentic. How does making art or taking inspiration from our experiences move from editing and curating those experiences to the act of creation? And how does that creative process expand the idea of what is real or objective? And how do the ideas of artistic authenticity and identity collide with capitalism and the pressures of the market? Participants are encouraged to share their creative processes and consider what part of themselves and their experiences are integral to that process.

Fabricating Ideas in Steel

Fabricating Form & Shaping Surfaces

This workshop will focus on the fundamentals of steel fabrication for creating functional and sculptural works. Daily demonstrations will include, but are not limited to making templates, exploring traditional and nontraditional methods for shaping steel, MIG and TIG welding, and different finishing processes. We will first practice these techniques through a series of quick exercises, and then each participant will design and fabricate a larger project that shows off their new metalworking skills and creativity. All levels welcome.

This workshop will bridge the gap between sculptural forms and compelling ceramic surfaces as participants develop their personal visual vocabulary. We will utilize various handbuilding techniques and develop ideas through creative exercises, and discussions. Participants will create complex layered surfaces with a low-tech approach, employing both familiar techniques and new processes. You will discover strategies for incorporating texture, pattern, image, and color with the use of underglazes, glazes, and decals at various temperatures in oxidation. This workshop is open to anyone interested in sculptural and utilitarian ceramics.

All levels welcome.

Surface-Color-Solid

Objects in Narrative Play

This workshop will introduce the technical and theoretical use of color as it pertains to creating jewelry. Using materials such as casting plastics, powder coating, image transfer, and various colors on metal applications, emphasis will be placed on the understanding of color as it applies to surface and form and its relationship to historical and contemporary trends, practice, and material culture. All levels welcome.

How do we connect materials to a story that is then amplified by its form, configuration, or placement? In this workshop participants will use improv, intuitions, and narratives as modes for creating a body of designed objects using mediums such as wood, plaster, and found or valued objects. Through the study of artists and designers including Chakaia Booker, Theaster Gates, and Alison Wade, we will consider how sculptural objects function, and facilitate content and conversation as they relate to personal stories. By using personal objects as well as visiting local thrift stores, lumberyards, and sustainable outlets we will scavenge, find, and plunder materials.

Discussion and material gathering will be offset by studio demonstrations and construction methods. Sketches and small-scaled prototypes will lead up to presentations and completed works. Students can have the basics of either art, carving, construction, design, and concept, or simple gardening skills. All levels welcome.

Sketch & Stretch: A Playful Approach to Handbuilding & Surface Design

Micro/Macro

#Reality

In this workshop we will create temporary, site-specific interventions into the landscape of the stunning Haystack campus. Considering both micro and macro transformations, participants will select a site across the Haystack grounds to research and create work for.

Beginning at the level of the stitch, we will look at a range of hand textile techniques for processes to scale up into three-dimensional space. All levels welcome.

This serious, playful, and fast paced workshop will focus on efficient ways to capture the spirit of hot glass as a transformative liquid for making solid and hollow sculptural forms. Working carefully from observation we will explore techniques of marver work, gathering, and shaping with minimal tools to manipulate molten glass into realistic forms. Our focus will be placed on mimicry to create objects ranging from both the macro and the micro in figural subject matter with careful attention to volume, proportion, and form. This is an ideal workshop for the aspiring glass sculptor. Previous hot glass experience required.

Starting with the sketchbook as a springboard for our ideas, we will translate drawn shapes into three-dimensional pottery forms. With the aid of paper, craft foam, and bisqued clay, we will exploit the immediacy and potential of building with soft clay slabs. We will use texture, underglaze, resists, and glaze to create layered surface effects. Participants will leave with new templates and molds, bisqueware, glaze-fired pieces, and tons of new ideas. In both practice and product, a spirit of playful discovery will be emphasized. All levels welcome.

Sentiment & Sediment: Narrative Enamel

Please Be Seated—Building Chairs that Endure

The inclusion of a strong narrative has a rich history in American art jewelry. This workshop will continue to carry on the tradition as we cultivate personal narratives through the creation of enameled, wearable objects. A variety of enamel application techniques will be used to layer imagery, color, shape, and iconography that will help to tell a story. Additional layers of information will be added by using a laser to engrave the enamel and custom, full-color ceramic decals will be applied. All levels welcome.

This workshop will explore the history of traditional chairmaking and green woodworking techniques with an eye toward using them in modern seating. The conical, wedged mortise and tenon is an ancient joinery technique—arguably the simplest and strongest method for constructing seating.

We will use hand tools to split material from a log, shape parts on the shave horse, carve seats, and turn legs on a lathe.

Participants will design and build seating that incorporates these methods into pieces that speak to the individuals’ personal design aesthetic. All levels welcome.

Consider This

Finding Focus

Dinner Party

Consider every part of the functional pot. In this workshop we will carefully think about every part of making—from conception, skillful use of technique, individual ideas, and intended life for the pot. While working with the wheel as a starting point, we will develop a vocabulary of techniques for use to construct work that reflects our own ideas and intent. Some of these techniques include carving, working with slip, and altering wet and leather hard clay. Another essential component is punctuating an idea with our choice of glaze. We will high fire our pieces in a reduction atmosphere. Working together we will encourage each other to bring our ideas to a higher maturity and resolution.

All levels welcome.

An important aspect of art practice is one’s ability to set self-defined limitations that expand creativity and deepen conceptual/material content—often a process of peeling away layers and trying new approaches. A series of guided “limitations” will help you probe your established practice with materials/process through reduction, focus, and innovation. The intention is to sharpen your work through selective experimentation, group critique, and discussion.

During the second week, students will develop sculptural investigations focused around discoveries from the first week. Open to all those with a prior established artistic practice and background in textiles.

Food and drink just taste better when taken from handmade wares. In this workshop, we will play with a wide range of form and surface techniques as we work towards the goal of creating a collaborative tablescape that we will use to have a dinner party at the end of the session. Blown glass plates, cups, bowls, serving platters, candleholders, and salt cellars will adorn our family table by the workshop's end. Whether your interests lie in simple functional form or elaborate pattern work, this workshop will have something for you. Some experience with free hand glassblowing is recommended, but not required.

In this workshop we are looking into the recording of process and what works do to us. Not aiming to illustrate a narrative, we will work with hidden narratives and processes. With a wide range of techniques and materials we may wander out of the metals studio or look into the most archetypal forms, objects, and techniques through the lens of timelessness and a non-hierarchical approach. I hope we all bring different techniques to this workshop as much as notions of belief. My wish is that you do not immediately understand what you make and that in the best scenario this can be a start for a longer engagement. We will alternate between fast and slow assignments, lots of talking, and lots of silence. All levels are welcome.

Hone your carving skills, flex your design muscles, and explore the intersection of form and function by transforming this humble household object into sculpture.

Students will fabricate wood and fiber objects that engage, elevate, or subvert the brush, creating functional and conceptual manifestations of this simple tool. We will cover wood shaping, fibers, compound angle drilling, bent-lamination, and traditional and modern carving.

Group discussions will investigate the history of cleaning objects as well as contemporary approaches to brushes and brooms. All levels welcome.

VISITING CURATOR ANDRES PAYAN ESTRADA Object Constellations What objects orbit our experiences? How do objects tell our stories? Through group discussion we will share and map out our relationships with formative objects, including their histories, meanings, poetics, and politics. We will explore our material realities and bring objects and stories together to orchestrate meanings while navigating the expansive network of relations and connections that shape our worlds and the objects in them.

Narrative Cups: Deeper Than the Surface

Textile Collage

On (purpose)

Pattern-Formed Enameled Vessels

This workshop will be dedicated to exploring the form of the cup as a vehicle for developing complex surfaces and storytelling. Students will be introduced to various methods of making cups, applying images, color, and composition to make dynamic and richly layered surfaces. These methods will be useful to the beginner as well as more experienced students. All levels welcome.

This workshop is an exploration of collage using upcycled fabric to create a wall hanging. We will work with a number of different materials and techniques such as natural dyes, patchwork, and various types of stitching. Starting with smaller samples, we will create pieces that explore the relationship between patchwork and stitching as structure and as gestural mark making—applying, combining, and layering both surface and line. Our final piece will be a culmination of our discoveries. Must be comfortable with hand sewing—all levels welcome.

In this week-long workshop students will dive into creating and designing with purpose. From everyday objects to custom pieces that fill a void, we will create blown glass forms with intent using technique and skill building. We will turn mundane objects into thoughtful objects where form follows function. Students should bring designs to work through and expect to leave with finished pieces.

Together we will try to make things better by making better things. Intermediate to advanced level—previous glassblowing experience is required.

Participants will explore how a flat sheet of metal can be transformed into a volumetric object using little more than a jeweler’s saw and some basic hand tools.

Once formed, these metal vessels can be enameled, using low-tech methods for adhering enamel powder to the vessel’s dimensional surfaces. We will cover strategies for enhancing the finished enamel vessel, including basic silver fabrication, cold-connection methods, and small-scale wood carving. Intermediate level—participants should be able to saw, file, and solder unassisted.

WRITING

Passamaquoddy Fancy Baskets

Courageous Writing: The Art of the Memoir

This workshop will focus on ash basket making, from the raw material of a tree to final finished baskets. We will cover a variety of approaches from advanced weaving techniques to many basic ones. There will be the opportunity to experience the traditional process of pounding and splitting ash but it is not a requirement. Intermediate level—participants must have some competence, or prior experience, with creating three-dimensional objects with their hands, and, along with some instruction, must be able to work independently.

How do we share our most intimate stories with the world?

In this workshop participants will explore the art of memoir writing, from source material and idea development to the craft of constructing a final piece of writing. Group discussions, readings, writing prompts, and more will help participants explore their own stories and develop their voice as writers. All levels welcome.

PLANNING FOR A SAFE REOPENING Haystack plans to resume programming at full capacity in 2022. However we also recognize the pandemic continues to impact our lives. We will continue to be transparent about our evolving approach to the coming season, and any changes to our program or policies will be posted clearly on our website and announced through eNews and social media.

While there is no single way to mitigate risk during the pandemic, we believe we can responsibly run this program so long as we all follow the same set of guidelines.

In addition to clearly defined internal protocols, we will follow the recommendations of the CDC and public health agencies within the State of Maine and continue to make decisions based on key metrics of the pandemic in our region. Our responsibility as an organization is to establish and maintain clear policies that minimize risk of exposure and transmission of the virus and your responsibility is to fully comply with those policies to ensure the safety of everyone in our community. A detailed and updated reopening document and safety guidelines will be available in early April.

VACCINATION, FACE COVERINGS, AND SOCIAL DISTANCING For the health and safety of our community, Haystack will require all staff, faculty, and program participants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Full vaccination means at least fourteen days need to have passed between the final dose of any of the currently approved vaccines and your arrival to Haystack’s campus. We also anticipate that all program participants and staff will be required to wear face coverings, and comply with social distancing guidelines, if necessary.

COVID CANCELLATION POLICY In the event that Haystack must cancel a program, session, or workshop in response to the pandemic, we will notify people as soon as possible and provide a full refund on tuition, room and board, including deposits and application fees. We hope this provides comfort and assurance in applying to the School.

In the event an individual must cancel due to COVID-19 related issues, a full refund (less application fee) will be provided. This policy is intended to assist in the instance of illness, exposure, or travel restrictions. In the case of cancellations for any reason, Haystack is not responsible for nonrefundable airline tickets or other indirect expenses.

Our general program cancellation policy for all non-COVID related issues remains unchanged and can be viewed on the following pages.

These policies are subject to change.

Providing support to students has tremendous impact, and we are very proud of the endowed scholarship and fellowship funds, and partnerships with individuals and institutions, that have been created at Haystack: FELLOWSHIPS Allison Cooke Brown Maine College of Art & Design Fellowship Established by Allison Cooke Brown ’01 (Awarded by Maine College of Art & Design)

Haystack is fortunate to have loyal and generous supporters who make it possible for us to award full scholarships to over 30% of students attending the School. We are firmly committed to a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion and as an artistic community believe in celebrating divergent points of view.

One of the most powerful tools we have in supporting this mission is our scholarship program, which in 2019, our most recent year of programming, brought over 120 students (recent high school and college graduates, retirees, parents, emerging artists, and more) from as near as Deer Isle to as far away as Palestine, Finland, and Thailand.

Foundations and individual donors have taken steps to endow individual scholarships and fellowships that we are able to allocate, on an annual basis, in keeping with the intentions and directives of each fund. An endowed fund can be created and includes tuition, room, and board, plus a travel stipend to offset the expense of travel to and from Deer Isle. Haystack is also able to work with donors to fund Current Year Scholarships for $2,245* each, providing a student with tuition, room and board, plus a travel stipend, to attend a two-week workshop in a given year.

Ensuring the School supports all students with no bias in regard to age, color, disability, gender identification, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, economic status, or veteran status will remain one of our most critical goals. The Haystack scholarship program is supported through annual fund contributions, end of session auctions, the summer gala, grants, and our scholarship endowment.

In 2022 Haystack will award over thirty fellowships and scholarships supporting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) students. We are grateful to the donors who helped us raise $50,000 in support of this new initiative that aims to expand our community and broaden access to the School.

Each award will provide tuition, room, and board, plus a travel stipend to attend workshops at the School. An independent committee of BIPOC artists will select the recipients and Haystack will begin awarding the fellowships/scholarships during this coming season. A dedicated application process has been established for these fellowships/ scholarships, which can be found at haystack-mtn.org/scholarship-and-fellowship-funds.

We are also thrilled to announce that in 2022 Haystack has removed the work-study requirement from our scholarship program while also including a travel stipend for all of our endowed funds. A special thanks to the Windgate Foundation for their support of these important equity initiatives. Read more at haystack-mtn.org/equity-initiatives.
