The Hermitage |
"If only boldness, innovation, deep questioning of the status quo, and
passionate, hard-working commitment to the future will get us where
we need to go, who better to solve these problems than artists, who
are bold, innovative, questioning, passionate and hard-working, every
day of their lives? Who is better suited to changing the world than
us?"
-- David Lang, Composer
Winner, Pulitzer Prize 2008
Keynote Speech, Greenfield Prize Award Ceremony
April 22, 2009
Welcome to The Hermitage, an artist community inspiring creativity with "old Florida" history; verdant, tropical ecology; and communal living with fellow Hermitage artists and our Gulf Coast Communities.
This site is the place to learn more about The Hermitage and to discover a hint of what is so special about it. And it is the place to understand our mission, and ways to work with us to support it. We hope you will be as inspired as we are to support individual artistry while preserving Florida's natural and its "built" heritage.
