Catskill Art Space
Discover the pulse of contemporary creativity at Catskill Art Space, a vital cultural hub in Livingston Manor that brings ambitious, museum-caliber art to the heart of the Catskills. The space presents a continually evolving program of exhibitions and events that balance rigor with accessibility, pairing internationally recognized artists with work that feels deeply connected to place. Installations and projects by artists such as James Turrell, Forrest Myer, Michele Araujo, Joy Episalla, Carrie Yamaoka, Nancy Davidson, and Francis Cape reflect a wide range of approaches to light, form, material, and spatial experience.
The galleries are thoughtfully curated to encourage slow looking and deeper engagement, with the building itself playing an active role in how the work is experienced. The exterior has become a canvas in its own right, while interior exhibitions unfold with a sense of openness and intention. Programming often extends beyond exhibitions to include talks, performances, and educational initiatives that reinforce the organization’s commitment to dialogue, experimentation, and community connection.
The building was designed by Bade Stageberg Cox Architecture of Brooklyn, NY, whose approach emphasizes clarity, restraint, and a strong relationship to the surrounding landscape. The architecture is deliberately understated, allowing art to take center stage while using natural light, proportion, and materiality to shape the visitor experience. The result is a space that feels both contemporary and grounded—flexible enough to support a wide range of installations, yet distinct in its own architectural identity.
With free admission and a welcoming atmosphere, Catskill Art Space invites both seasoned art followers and newcomers to engage with contemporary art on their own terms. Supported by organizations including the New York State Council on the Arts and the Dr. David M. Milch Foundation, it stands as a compelling example of how forward-thinking art can thrive outside major urban centers—rooted locally, yet in conversation with the wider art world.
