About P.L.A.Y.
P.L.A.Y. All Day introduces our youngest audience members to the visual and performative arts. 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 Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation, the J M McDonald Foundation and the John N. Blackman Sr. Foundation. Bethel Woods programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Additional funding has been provided by the County of Sullivan through the Sullivan County Youth Bureau and by Bethel Woods Center for the Arts members and donors.
