• Panel Discussion
The Hudson Valley is home to numerous artists residency programs, many of which support artists from marginalized communities. Kate Millett described her art colony as “life after the revolution,” a place where women could experience freedoms that the Women’s and LGBTQ civil rights movements were fighting for, but that were not yet available in mainstream society. In celebration of the spirit of The Farm, we are hosting staff from some organizations which host local artist residency programs: The Center for Photography Woodstock, Stoneleaf Retreat, Denniston Hill and The Women’s Studio Workshop, for a virtual conversation to help strengthen our community, spread their missions, and learn about the urgent needs of the communities they support.

• Artists' Talk: “Poking Holes and Piercing Through” A talk with Caitlin Rose Sweet and Ben Pinder, artists featured in the exhibition New Folk
Both hailing from small towns in America, Caitlin Rose Sweet and Ben Pinder make work which simultaneously embraces Americana and folk traditions while exposing the social constructs (and constraints) surrounding them. We will explore the fascinating work they produce and join them in a discussion on how they are poking holes and piercing through American myths of masculinity, gender and labor, and craft and art, in an attempt to level hierarchies and detoxify beliefs.
