WAAM EVENTS: ART in ACTION

WAAM presented 46 public events in 2019
From our summer lecture series on the history and legacy of the Woodstock Art Colony with Dr. Bruce Weber to our public artist residencies in the Habitat for Artists WAAM brings art programming and education directly to you and our community.

Public Art Talks
We hosted thirteen artist talks, panels and exhibition tours including Kimberly Camp's Far & Wide National exhibition walk-through in May and our panel discussion Map of the (Art) World moderated by  Carter Ratcliff, art critic and author, with Julie Torres, Co-Director of  LABspace, Sharon Butler, founder of the blog  Two Coats of Paint and Jason Rulnick, Senior Specialist in Contemporary Art at  Artnet.

Special Events
Philip Guston - John Cage - Ken Kesey
Roger Lazoff helped us celebrate the fifty year anniversary of the Summer of Love with a presentation of films, talks and an exhibition of Ken Kesey memorabilia titled Get on the Bus. In August a truly singular exhibition of Philip Guston’s “pure drawings” in WAAM's Solo gallery served as the perfect environment to present a special performance of Morton Feldman’s four-hour long composition, For Philip Guston . August also saw the 67th Anniversary Performance of John Cage's 4'33" by Perry Beekman and Lou Pappas as produced by the incomparable artist and host Norm Magnusson.

100 Year Birthday Bash
Over 400 people helped us celebrate our one hundredth anniversary with a community birthday party, music, crafts, ice cream and cake in July.

Two new events rocked WAAM this Fall
The We the Artists Contemporary Art Auction and the WAAM Arts + Makers Fair - new events that drew enthusiastic response and support from all who participated. 

... Not to mention the kids
Over 700 students in 9 schools ages K-12 were served by our free in-school programs bringing WAAM collection-based arts curriculum and local art history into the classroom.


Help us keep these important art programs coming!

It’s just one of the many great reasons
