The Intersection of

Art & History

A Legacy of

Giving

engaging people

Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is committed to

in the arts and civic life to build enriched, vibrant communities.

A Note From Leadership Six years after the first guests were welcomed through the gates at Bethel Woods, we continue to celebrate personal and artistic expression and to educate new generations about the transformational decade of the 1960s. We expose audiences of all ages to exciting cultural opportunities that engage them in the arts and civic life. We delight in seeing the impact of our work in ways large and small. You will see a glimpse of that influence throughout the pages of this magazine.

As the curtain opens on our seventh season, we have reached over 1.14 million people through 239 performances and events. In many ways, Bethel Woods has renewed a rural outpost in the foothills of the Catskills with hundreds of jobs and millions in tourism dollars. It has given new purpose to supporters from around the globe who share an abiding passion for the matchless intersection of art and history that resides at Bethel Woods — a unique legacy that must be preserved for generations to come.

ast spring

...a busload of sixth-graders from the Preston School in northeast Pennsylvania traveled to Bethel Woods to attend a special performance of The Magic Flute.

The show was so powerful many of the students later reported that the music, the acting, and the story behind Mozart’s fabled opera of enlightenment transformed them.

Riley Barton, whom you met on the front of our report, was one of those students. The performance emboldened her. What she did next was to pour her heart and soul into a tryout for the school musical.

She landed the big role. Riley is like many 13-year-olds, she does a lot.

She plays oboe, sings in the chorus and loves playing basketball. She also starred in her middle school play — thanks to the inspiration she found at Bethel Woods.

The impact of Bethel Woods can be felt in many ways. What came to life for Riley Barton was something within her, that small voice that said, “I can do this.” When she says she found a greater love of the arts at Bethel Woods and a new appreciation for what it really takes to be successful, it might sound like Riley is talking just about herself.

But in the long run, she’s talking about us all.

“Having been to the performance, now I see things differently and I try to achieve at everything I do...”

— Riley Barton November 2011

RAMWELL TOVEY’S Bethel Woods moment came in 2006.

The New York Philharmonic had asked him to arrange and orchestrate the Jimi Hendrix classic “Purple Haze.”

“We then played it as an encore at our very first concert at Bethel Woods. To think that this song, made famous on this legendary site, was now being played by the

full forces of the New York Philharmonic was certainly a special feeling.”

To New York Philharmonic conductor, Bramwell Tovey, the “Purple Haze” performance was legendary and somewhat epic. Whether it is the London Symphony highlighted by the consummate performer Sting or the Classical Series featuring world-renowned ensembles, Bethel Woods continues to expand cultural offerings by presenting live music both outdoors and in our intimate Event Gallery. As a cultural center, events like these will always be a mainstay of what we present.

“Bethel Woods has become a North American entertainment icon.”

Elton John...

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Ringo Starr, Brad Paisley, Phish, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Chicago, Tim McGraw, Dave Matthews Band, Tony Bennett, and more. What comes to life on the stages of Bethel Woods is that underscore of history and the electric sense that what once happened here is still happening. It is a marriage of art, nature, music, and the indelible importance of the course of human events.

Michelle Branch did not mince words when she addressed her audience of thousands at Bethel Woods in the summer of 2011. A suggestion? Maybe. Or perhaps she meant it as homework for the masses. “Wouldn’t it be nice,” she implored, “if we all went home tonight and thought about what peace and equality is all about?”

It was the assignment Carlos Santana had been doing for the past 40 years when he returned to Bethel Woods in 2010 for the first time since 1969. Welcome, he told the sold-out crowd, to “ground zero for peace and love.”

• 600 performers appeared in 38 shows on the Pavilion and Event Gallery Stages in 2011 alone.

• 186,000 guests attended pavilion and event gallery performances in 2011

Jeff Allison has volunteered at

THE

M

USEUM

AT BETHEL WOODS since 2008 and helped to develop The Museum’s Docent Program. Nine volunteers researched The Museum’s galleries and its artifacts and then put that material into a tour and guide that promotes civic dialogue and engagement while adding even more meaning to each visitor’s experience.

Bob Knox returned to the place he remembers as a 16-year-old mired in the mud and traffic of Woodstock. The importance of preservation inspired him to loan his rare “Wallkill” Woodstock poster to The Museum. To Bob, Bethel Woods preserves part of his personal history, and it also commemorates an extraordinary time in human history.

The Museum preserves an enduring piece of human history “I hope that visitors have fun, learn a lot, and most importantly, are inspired to be creative and to become involved in their own communities.”

of people each year.

and serves as the cornerstone of a venue, attracting tens of thousands

It’s an immersive, multi-media experience including changing exhibits that explore the Sixties through art, artifacts, installations, special events, engaging films, concerts, speaker events, school programs and family activities, where generations come together and draw meaning from a past that is relevant to our lives today.

In 2011, special exhibitions like Spaced Out! — produced by Experience Music Project of Seattle — illustrated America’s fascination with space in the Cold War years as seen through the filter of album cover art.

STRANGE KOZMIC EXPERIENCE — a traveling exhibition of The Grammy Museum at L.A. LIVE — featured a collection of personal items and private thoughts, by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, B.B. King, and The Doors… all of which served to humanize these legends.

Complementing the physical collections, the Woodstock Alumni Registry has collected over one thousand first-hand accounts of Woodstock festival attendees. to share your story, visit: BethelWoodsCenter.org/WoodstockRegistry 10

ICKY CASEY makes student trips to Bethel Woods a tradition.

The Eldred High School history teacher knows that it is crucial that her students are exposed to both current cultural experiences and to the historic aspects that Bethel Woods brings to life in so many ways. The site and museum provide students with an eye-opening understanding about why the ‘60s and the festival were so important to our culture and society.

“Every visit to Bethel Woods is a new opportunity for my students to stretch and grow.”

— Vicky Casey, April 2012

Bethel Woods connects people of all ages to events and activities year-round through: • Ticket Access Program • Interactive field trips • Community and Education Initiatives • World Stage Series performances including two with NYC’s JazzReach

the harvest festival

Celebrates the bounty, talent, and beauty of the region.

Community and a mission to support sustainability are at heart of this early Autumn tradition which hosts nearly 100 farm and craft vendors each weekend.

Over the last 14 years the Festival has presented a venue for area farmers, artisans and performers.

An abundant farmers market, craft village, special events, live performances, a children’s area with community and education programs including arts and crafts, as well as corn and hay mazes, and pony rides make the Harvest Festival an opportunity to gather and form relationships in ways that are absent from traditional retail experiences.

“Art helps to build relationships, educate the public, and expand our thinking.”

— Rachel Bertoni, jeweler, Harvest Festival Rachel Bertoni makes gold and silver jewelry using a lost wax technique. Her art is something that connects her to people wherever she and they find themselves.

From the Alpaca Festival, Earth Day in Autumn and Live Well, Be Well, Rustic Craft Show to a Wine Festival and Annual Holiday Market, Bethel Woods connects growers and artisans with the community and provides an opportunity for shoppers to buy local and support a regional economy.

“Bethel Woods represents everything good about community and our country. It is a world-class cultural center that embraces its unique history. It is now our turn to ensure the ongoing success of this unique treasure.“ — Kathy Frommer Trustee, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts

SeeBelieve what com

“This is where we

peace is possible in a lifetime.”— Carlos Santana, Bethel, NY

July 2010 In 1969, something began here that, today, we still seek to understand.

One thing is clear, what happened at Woodstock in some way defines what should be and what can be. As the conservators of a special history and as stewards of a future that embraces that unique legacy, we feel a responsibility to a moment in time that is now a hallmark of possibility. Keeping that alive is what we do at Bethel Woods. It’s what you help us do.

“Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is preserving a transformative era in American history. There is no better place to lead a national dialogue on the arts and its impact on learning and creativity.”

— Paul Guenther Trustee, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts

The

“We” FACTOR

Aside from playing lead guitar on the main

stage, there’s not a lot that Alan Kesten hasn’t — or wouldn’t do — for Bethel Woods.

The way he sees it, this is a team effort. A longtime community volunteer and Sullivan County born and bred, you could say it is in his genes, but it’s also in his actions.

Look beyond ticket sales, look beyond museum admissions. Look to the history, the education and to the unique venue that Bethel Woods provides. “That,” says Kesten, “is where we all come in.” Individual philanthropy — personal giving — is what he’s talking about.

Since almost day one, Kesten has been a Bethel Woods member. He has been a box holder. He has been a self-appointed ambassador, but that is not all. Kesten has also stepped up as a donor to financially support special exhibitions at The Museum at Bethel Woods. In one way, Kesten is a phenomenon of giving and involvement. In another, it’s just his nature.

In attendance at almost every pavilion concert for the past six years, Alan Kesten is among a cast of thousands who help make Bethel Woods what it is today.

17

On any given day at Bethel Woods, there’s a good chance you’ll be greeted by Alan’s mom, Charlotte Kesten, who at 81 spends many of her summer days and evenings as a volunteer.

For both mother and son, it’s an extension of the philosophy that when you give, you get something back.

“We’re all in this together.”

— Alan Kesten, March 2012

Jill Seelig grew up on Long Island, lives in Manhattan, and is a Hearst Company vice president as the publisher of O, The Oprah Magazine. It’s no shock that the mountains and lakes of the Catskills are her escape. Bethel Woods became the icing on the cake. With her love of rock concerts, and all that the Sixties meant on a small and large scale, Bethel Woods is the place that brings her home.

“It takes me back to my roots, and there’s pride in that.”

The Legacy of Richard O. Ullman Richard Ullman started out as a pharmacist in northern New Jersey. He became a success through his pioneering work as an entrepreneur and was chairman

of

BeneCard,

company.

His

success

a

prescription

allowed

him

to

benefit support

organizations like Bethel Woods, and he was especially enthusiastic about sharing visits with friends, family and business associates.

The Bethel Woods family was deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Ullman in the fall of 2011. His loss was felt by staff and leadership at Bethel Woods who had the pleasure of his charming company and optimistic outlook.

With the support of his family we are delighted to acknowledge his generosity by creating the Richard O. Ullman Memorial Fund.

This Fund will carry on his legacy while continuing to support cultural offerings at Bethel Woods. Contributions to the Fund will also be matched by the Gerry Foundation Challenge Fund for Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, doubling the resources available for affordable access to the highest-quality arts experiences.

To make a contribution to the Richard O. Ullman Memorial Fund, please contact the Development Office, at 845.295.2556.

“Dad enjoyed Bethel Woods and admired Alan Gerry. We hope that the creation of this special fund will encourage other donors to follow his example by contributing to Bethel Woods both in his honor and as a show of their shared belief in the Center.”

— Richard A. Ullman

Through Bethel Woods’ first fundraising appeal, “The Campaign to Build a Vibrant Community,” 100 donors added their philanthropic support to help extend the generosity of the Gerry Foundation and our many members and box holders. Together, they contributed nearly $18,000 to support Bethel Woods’ Education and Community initiatives.

Edie Downs, one of 200 volunteers,

is a former pre-school teacher and a canoeing enthusiast who has also volunteered on-air for local public radio.

Bethel Woods volunteers served 14,270 hours at Pavilion concerts, The Museum, Event Gallery, and special events including films, the World Stage Series, and Harvest Festivals.

Behind the scenes, volunteers also perform a variety of administrative duties. More than half volunteer year-round, and more than a third are employed full-time. Their service hours equate to an estimated financial contribution of $304,807.

Fifteen Bethel Woods interns gained valuable experience in the areas of accounting, production, museum management, fundraising, sponsorship, marketing, and operations.

“Working with Bethel Woods has allowed me to see more clearly what I want to do with my future.� — Mikayla Mendels, Intern 28

2011 As the

financial results illustrate below,

our ability to provide world-class entertainment, cultural, education, and community programming is dependent on support beyond the proceeds from ticket sales. More than 41% of our operating budget is derived from individual, corporate and foundation support, of which $4.9 million was generously provided by the Gerry Family. Bethel Woods and its newly established Board of Trustees will continually seek to broaden the base of support, ensuring the vitality of mission-driven programming.
