Kaatsbaan Cultural Park
About
The mission of Kaatsbaan is to offer an extraordinary environment for cultural innovation and excellence by providing artists at any stage of their careers with creative residencies at state-of-the-art facilities, and presenting audiences and communities with annual outdoor festivals, educational programs, and seasonal events. Founded in 1990 with an initial focus on dance programming that included performances and residencies, Kaatsbaan has offered unique programming discoveries with every visit over the past 20 years. The organization’s dedication to historic preservation and environmental conservation has protected its vast open spaces, undeveloped hay fields, woodlands, and magnificent scenic views of the famed Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains.
