SUMMARY:Opening Reception for "Going Upstate: The Avery Family in Woodstock"
DESCRIPTION:March Avery\, Zena Cornfield\, 2001\, oil on canvas\, 56″ x 40″ \n  \ncurated by Dr. Bruce Weber\nExhibition on view July 11 – October 25\, 2026\nOpening reception\nSaturday July 11\, 2026\, 3-6 PM \nFor 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. \nWhile 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. \nSpanning four generations\, the exhibition brings together works by Milton Avery and Sally Michel Avery\, their daughter March Avery\, her husband Philip G. Cavanaugh\, their son Sean Cavanaugh\, and his child Delilah Cavanaugh. For the first time\, the public will have the opportunity to experience an intimate look at the art created in Woodstock by the Avery family — a body of work deeply rooted in American modernism.

SUMMARY:Discussion and book signing — The Handcrafted Utopia: Arts and Crafts Communities in America's Progressive Era\, by Thomas Guiler
DESCRIPTION:Reserve your space today \nByrdcliffe is pleased to welcome author Thomas Guiler who will discuss his book “The Handcrafted Utopia: Arts and Crafts Communities in America’s Progressive Era.” The discussion will be followed by a booksigning. Books will be available for purchase with Byrdcliffe members receiving a 10% discount on their purchase. \n  \nThe Handcrafted Utopia: Arts and Crafts Communities in America’s Progressive Era\nIn response to the trauma of industrialization and urbanization in the late-nineteenth century\, the Arts and Crafts Movement took America by storm. Art exhibits\, workshops\, and societies dedicated to handicraft\, worker dignity\, and the production of beautiful art for the masses sprouted from California to Boston. \nRalph Radcliffe Whitehead\, Elbert Hubbard\, and William Lightfoot Price were so enamored with the movement that they decided to build entirely new worlds—intentional communities—dedicated to pursuing those ideals. Englishman Whitehead founded an art colony named Byrdcliffe in New York’s Catskill Mountains. Hubbard\, a former soap salesman\, established an Arts and Crafts community business\, Roycroft\, outside Buffalo\, New York. Price\, an architect\, built the Rose Valley Association outside Philadelphia. They endeavored to reform the economic and social inequalities of industrial capitalism through communal living\, artistic development\, craft\, and the sale of finely crafted furniture\, architecture\, metalwork\, and more. This was what they believed was living “the art that is life.” \nFor these community members\, this meant producing and selling art with a social message as well as living everyday life as if it was a work of art. In imagining a compromise between machine- dominated industry and handicraft\, these artisans sought to critique industrial capitalism and carve out a space where craftspeople could once again flourish in community. Rose Valley\, Byrdcliffe\, and Roycroft were total sensory installations of the Arts and Crafts Movement that stood as community-workshops that were an alternative to brutal industrialization. \n  \nThomas A. Guiler (Ph.D.\, Syracuse University) is the director of museum affairs at the Oneida Community Mansion House in Oneida\, New York. He was assistant professor of history and public humanities at the Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library in Wilmington\, Delaware. He also served at the president of the Communal Studies Association. He has published on the history and material culture of intentional communities such as Oneida and of the Arts and Crafts Movement. \nReserve your space today
