About Byrdcliffe, the treasured local arts colony
The Woodstock Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, established in 1903, is a historic haven for creativity nestled in the heart of the Catskills. As one of the earliest utopian art colonies in America, Byrdcliffe was founded with the vision of merging art, craft, and nature into a harmonious lifestyle. Its iconic Arts and Crafts-style buildings and serene wooded landscape have inspired generations of artists, writers, and musicians. From its early days as a refuge for artisans to its current role as a cultural landmark offering artist residencies, exhibitions, and performances, Byrdcliffe continues to embody Woodstock’s enduring spirit of creativity and community.
