Peace. Love. Arts. You. Programs invite children ages 5-15 to explore the creative arts this summer at beautiful Bethel Woods, historic site of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair!

P.L.A.Y. All Day introduces our youngest audience members - ages 5-9 years old -  to the visual and performative arts in one week long sessions over eight weeks this summer. Students dip into history, legacy, leadership, and imaginative ways of thinking through fun, collaborative, arts-based learning activities and exploration of our grounds. Our team of Teaching Artists impart foundational skills in various art forms while weaving together Bethel Woods themes of community, caring, and creativity. 

Funding for P.L.A.Y. has been provided by Nellie and Robert Gipson of the Tianaderrah Foundation, the William and Elaine Kaplan Family Foundations, the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation, the John N. Blackman Sr. Foundation, and the County of Sullivan through the Sullivan County Youth Bureau. Additional funding has been provided by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and by Bethel Woods Center for the Arts members and donors.
