For its annual gala, supporters and artists join together in celebration and support of Catskill Art Space. This is the organization’s largest fundraising event of the year, raising crucial funds that sustain CAS for the year to come. For its second year, the gala will take place on Main Street with cocktails at CAS, followed by a seated dinner and program in a tent at Renaissance Park.
The evening will honor Alessandra Gouldner and Boyd Johnson for their institutional leadership and support of the Ardsley Dance Residency, now in its seventh year. The couple conceived and has provided underwriting support to Ardsley Dance Residency, bringing together choreographers and collaborators for an immersive creative experience unburdened by the logistical challenges that artists face in today’s contemporary world. These moments have been fruitful for choreographers workshopping new dances, giving space and inspiration to create in the picturesque Catskill mountains. We are pleased to present a culminating performance from Olga Rabetskaya, the 2023 Ardsley resident, over Memorial Day on May 25th, and encourage you to join us.
