The Arts Are Our Heartbeat

BY CHRISTOPHER BRAZELTON

Art has the power to bring people together. It allows us to celebrate differences and similarities, and share in the human experience. At Woodstock Arts, our mission is to engage the community with relevant art experiences every day. We are excited to announce our 2023-24 season, the Season of Community. With an inspiring lineup of performances and exhibits, from theater to visual arts, the upcoming season is sure to have something for everyone.

The season reveal event, 4 p.m. April 16 in the Woodstock Arts Theatre, is free and open to the public. This event is a great opportunity to learn more about the upcoming season and connect with others in our community who share a love of the arts.

The Lantern Series features a variety of interactive concerts and is designed to bring world-renowned artists to Woodstock. The series consists of music and artists with different genres, backgrounds and ideologies, in hopes of bringing the community together to find a literal and figurative common ground. We believe the Lantern Series sparks important conversations and helps us appreciate the unique perspectives and experiences that make up our community.

The visual arts program is equally inspiring, offering classes and camps for all ages, taught by award-winning artists, as well as a rotating gallery of local, regional and national art. Although our Reeves House exhibits often feature artists from all over the country, we curate a balance of local, regional and national works to foster dialogue and inclusion in the larger national arts scene.
