SUMMARY:The Fugs live at Byrdcliffe
DESCRIPTION:“I founded the Fugs with Tuli Kupferberg 59 years ago to combine music\, poetry\, topical themes\, and universal dancing!!! The Fugs are very much here and now\, and ready for a New World to blossom forth!!!”\n— Ed Sanders \nDo you know of The Fugs? If not\, then you should. \nThe Fugs began on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1964. Their music combined rock and roll\, humor\, and protest that documented the 1960s underground scene and the American counterculture of that decade. They  gained notoriety through touring\, their friendships with other countercultural figures\, and their participation in antiwar politics\, which included an attempt to levitate the Pentagon in 1967 as a protest of the Vietnam War. \nThe Fugs retired in 1969\, but re-formed in the mid-’80s and have performed and recorded regularly ever since. The current line-up includes founder Ed Sanders\, Steve Taylor on guitar\, Coby Batty on drums\, and Scott Petito on bass and keyboards. \nByrdcliffe is thrilled to welcome The Fugs to the historic Byrdcliffe Barn in Woodstock. In addition to two live performances\, we will also screen the 2025 “Fugs Film!” at the Byrdcliffe Theater. The documentary features archival footage and interviews with Ed Sanders\, Aline & R. Crumb\, Lenny Kaye\, Penny Arcade\, Jeffrey Lewis and more to tell the story of NYC’s original punks. A conversation with director Chuck Smith and Ed Sanders will follow the screening. \nPurchase tickets for Saturday\, 15 August concert \nPurchase tickets for 15 August FUGS FILM! screening/conversation \nPurchase Saturday package: FUGS FILM! screening and concert on Saturday evening

SUMMARY:A Conversation About the Avery Family of Artists in Woodstock\, With Sean Cavanaugh\, Harvey Shipley Miller and Robert Selkowitz
DESCRIPTION:“Going Upstate: The Avery Family in Woodstock” curator Bruce Weber will moderate a conversation with artist and Avery family member Sean Cavanaugh\, renowned collector Harvey S. Shipley Miller and artist and Avery family friend Robert Selkowitz. \n$10 Byrdcliffe members / $15 Not-yet-members\nPurchase tickets \n  \nSean Cavanaugh was raised in Greenwich Village before attending Pitzer College in Claremont\, California\, where he majored in Studio Art and Environmental Studies. He is a director of the Milton Avery Trust\, over-seeing the artistic estates of his grandparents\, Milton Avery and Sally Michel Avery\, as well as the work of his mother\, the painter March Avery (Cavanaugh). He is Vice President of The Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation\, furthering its mission to enrich education in the visual arts. \nCavanaugh divides his time between lower Manhattan and Bearsville\, where he lives with his wife and child\, also an artist. He maintains a rigorous artistic practice of his own—his work pervaded by environmental consciousness. He has exhibited in the United States and internationally; most recently (in 2024) he was the subject of a solo exhibition\, Eyes on Nature: The Art of Sean Cavanaugh\, at the Morris Museum in New Jersey. \n  \nIn spring 2003\, Harvey S. Shipley Miller embarked on a massive shopping spree which has seen him amass some 2\,500 drawings by four hundred contemporary artists from twenty countries\, a trove he plans to offer to MoMA\, Jason Edward Kaufman writes in the Art Newspaper. Miller’s philanthropic activities extend far beyond this high-profile gift; in 1993 he became executor of Judith Rothschild’s $42 million estate. As sole trustee of the Judith Rothschild Foundation\, Miller disburses grants promoting under-recognized artists and engages in “discretionary initiatives” that benefit museums. He has become a patron of the Metropolitan Museum\, the Whitney Museum\, the National Gallery\, and the Philadelphia Museum\, among others\, serving on various committees and donating art and money. — from ArtForum\, 2004 \n  \nRobert Selkowitz is the author of three books of paintings with maps showing where the paintings were done: A Painter’s Path through the Catskill Mountains (2004)\, A Painter’s Path on Cape Breton Island (2006) and A Painter’s Path through the Adirondack Mountains (2012). \nHis paintings have been published in art posters by Portal Publications\, in art notes by H. George Caspari and Bay View Press\, and in calendars by Ronnie Sellers Productions. \n
