What if we treated our harbor like a place?
The Tideland Institute makes and supports culture on the water through:
Residencies
New York
The waterways of New York are a strangely neglected place. But from the water you can experience the hidden systems that make the city run, see the repercussions of the past, and witness the persistence of nature.
Raft Residency - We'll make the raft, you make the popup that goes on it.
Spring 2019 applications open in February 1st
Shoofly Pie - We are currently making a historic army tug into an Expedition Laboratory. Want to help? We are renovating it from workboat to mobile creative studio. When we're done the Shoofly Pie will host events and residencies in New York Harbor, the Hudson River Valley, and beyond.

South East Alaska
G.Mosey
Living on a 100ft 100yr old wooden tugboat while exploring SE Alaska with seven other people is a pretty unique experience. Participants learned how to operate the tugboat and skiffs, caught food, learned about safety in the wilderness, and lived in community. One month residents made a project that responded to an aspect of life on the boat. Shorter residencies focused on discussion, asking "How can this experience inform our work elsewhere?"
