Kaatsbaan Cultural Park presents 2026 Visual Arts Exhibition: Earthly Delights

Kaatsbaan Cultural Park presents their sixth annual Visual Arts Exhibition from June 6 through October 31, 2026, at 120 Broadway, Tivoli, NY 12583. The exhibition is free and open to the public. More information can be found here.

The Sixth Annual Visual Arts Exhibition at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park presents Earthly Delights: artistic works evoking planets, plants, insects, and other biological forms erupting out of the mystical Kaatsbaan landscape. These unique pieces created by nine contemporary artists working predominantly in the Hudson Valley offer an inspiring alchemy of structure, form, beauty, and soul. The exhibition is curated by Hilary Greene. The Opening Reception for the Sixth Annual 2026 Visual Art Exhibition will take place on Saturday, June 6, from 4pm-6pm. Admission is free with RSVP, found here.

This season, Aurora Robson returns with a tree-climbing, recycled-plastic installation new to Kaatsbaan. Joining her, Ian McMahon’s barn-mounted geometric relief, and Portia Munson’s mystical banner are six new artists:Thea Berman’s figurative oils and Sharon Broit’s biological abstracts in the gallery; Laura Battle’s esoteric ceramic clouds, Kris Perry’s machine creatures, and a spiritual carving by Nadia Yaron on the grounds; and sensorial videos by Virginia L. Montgomery mounted in the Stanford White Barn. In addition, we are honored to continue to exhibit two of Gaston Lachaise’s world-renowned bronzes on long-term loan by the Lachaise Foundation.

The 2026 Visual Arts Exhibition will also feature Open Hours for Upstate Art Weekend on Saturday, June 27, from 3pm-5pm, free with RSVP here, and a Visual Arts Walk with the curator and artists on Sunday, September 6, from 1pm-3pm.
