Kaatsbaan Cultural Park in Tivoli, New York, will open its sixth annual Visual Arts Exhibition on June 6, 2026, with a free afternoon reception. Titled "Earthly Delights," the show features works by nine contemporary artists, including returning artists Aurora Robson, Ian McMahon, and Portia Munson, as well as newcomers Thea Berman, Sharon Broit, Laura Battle, Kris Perry, Nadia Yaron, and Virginia L. Montgomery. The exhibition also includes two bronzes by Gaston Lachaise on loan from the Lachaise Foundation. Curated by Hilary Greene, the artworks explore planets, plants, insects, and biological forms inspired by the Hudson Valley landscape.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the role of Kaatsbaan Cultural Park as a vital incubator for artists at all career stages, offering state-of-the-art facilities and a unique natural setting two hours north of New York City. By presenting a diverse group of regional contemporary artists alongside historic works, the park reinforces its commitment to cultural innovation, community engagement, and inclusive programming in the visual arts.
