DRAWING THE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMS: THE COLT PROJECT
is a not for profit education and cultural organization incorporated in the State of Rhode Island.

DRAWING THE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMS
were created to restore and preserve historic buildings on public land by placing small independent art, design and cultural history programs within them.

A vision for renovation and reuse of the historic Colt Barn could be to house a college level junior year honors program in visual art, architecture and historic preservation.

Programs of Drawing the Environment and the Colt Project to date include the renovation of the 1919 stone stable on the Hudson River Palisades in Alpine NJ within the Palisades Interstate Park in 2009.
The program PERSPECTIVE AS A PHILOSOPHICAL PROJECT and a 16-foot panorama drawing were prepared for the HUDSON RIVER MUSEUM in April, 2009.
