The Byrdcliffe Arts Colony is located in the Catskill Mountains, 1.5 miles from the center of Woodstock, New York. Founded as an Arts & Crafts community in 1903, it has been a haven for visual artists, writers, crafts people, musicians and theater artists for over a century.
Opened in 1903, The Byrdcliffe Art Colony was placed on the National Register of Historic Sites in 1979 for its architectural and historical significance. Today it supports a wide range of artists, including writers, composers, painters, and sculptors.
Facilities
Residents stay at the historic Villetta Inn, built in 1903, a spacious, rustic building with communal dining and living rooms. Each resident has his or her own bedroom and separate studio space. Residents prepare meals in the large, well–appointed kitchen. Typically, residents choose to collaborate on meals.
