Join curator Dr Bruce Weber for a tour of the exhibition Going Upstate: The Avery Family in Woodstock.
Celebrate Byrdcliffe is our annual fundraiser dedicated to supporting this unique and vital cultural resource. The 2026 event is particularly significant as we gear up for our 125th milestone and reflect on Byrdcliffe’s impact on the art, culture, and community of the Hudson Valley and beyond.
Spanning 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.
When civilization collapses, seven wildly different survivors gather for a very particular dinner: Edgar has decided this will be his last meal before he dies on his own terms, with the help of a death doula. But outside, the dead are rising—and inside, everyone has an opinion about how the living should live, die, and be saved. Love, democracy and zombies collide in this Grand Guignol staged reading, followed by a Zombie Dress Parade and an apocalyptic good time.
Byrdcliffe's Kleinert/James Gallery 5 by 7 Show is one of Woodstock’s premier events, showcasing artists from the Hudson Valley and beyond. The show is open to everyone and we accept and display all submissions. Works are exhibited anonymously, a fun way to give equal voice to all! 5 by 7 artworks are sold for $150 each. Artist names are revealed when the work sells.
