A better world is ours for the making and the tools to do the job already exist: what remains is to dispel the illusion that the work belongs to anyone but ourselves. THE EUTOPIA CONFERENCE  is an opportunity to engage with the process and practice of seven emergent contemporary artists in an historic atmosphere.
 
The Conference will feature transmedia talks by the visual artists of εὖτόπος, followed by all-new site-specific performances by <A HREF="http://www.bareopera.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bare Opera</A> × <A HREF="http://floatingoperany.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Floating Opera</A>, <A HREF="http://www.christineherde.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chris Herde</A> and <A HREF="http://brazilianopera.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">International Brazilian Opera</A> to celebrate the closing of this landmark exhibition.
 
Join us for a glorious afternoon of celebration, creative inspiration and spectacle amidst rolling fields of gardens, art and history.

Eutopia, a collection of seven artists’ work, brings the word we’ve come to understand as a perfect, unattainable place back to its original Greek meaning: a positive, plausible paradise. It's a playful, at times disturbing, reimagining of the ideal: from a black light tunnel made of string, to the ominous reveal of a partial-sentence (“...On the edge of...”) left behind decades ago beneath the peeling paint of the Main Hall.

The variation of the work — both in style and material — make the art exhibition a singular event. Blending rich history, interiors and exteriors, ornate and pastoral — the experience traversing the grounds can be both cerebral and calming. Eutopia allows Snug Harbor to be re-imagined. And Snug Harbor allows Eutopia to be re-envisioned.
