On February 12, 2024, Waterwell celebrated 20 Electric Years with our

20th Anniversary Party!

Held at the Greenpoint Loft, the evening was hosted by Taylor Trensch and Ruthie Ann Miles. The Honorary Chairs were Audra McDonald and Jessica Chastain. 

The inaugural “Artist as Citizen” Awards were given to Tom Ridgely, Waterwell co-founder, and Shanta Thake, longtime Waterwell friend and Chief Artistic Officer of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
