Going Upstate: The Avery Family in Woodstock

Exhibition opens 12-5pm
Sunday 12 July 2026

For 125 years, Byrdcliffe has cultivated a community of artists at the base of Mount Guardian in the hamlet of Woodstock, NY.  Founded on principles of camaraderie, fidelity to quality, a reverence for nature and deep respect for fellow creators, Byrdcliffe has welcomed an impressive roster of artists and thinkers to this important art colony.

While many of these creative denizens went on to reknown — Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Bob Dylan, Eva Hesse, Philip Guston, Thorstein Veblen and many more — few so embodied the spirit of Byrdcliffe than the Avery Family.
