Join us on Saturday, July 26 for a public barn raising in Art Omi’s Sculpture & Architecture Park as part of Staging Area: A Barn Raising in Two Parts (Part Two).

This collaborative event—presented in partnership with Build Hudson—invites the public to take part in the hands-on construction of a new barn structure, designed by Erin Besler.

Held in the architecture meadows at Art Omi, the barn raising is both a communal building effort and a celebration of collective making.

The day will be divided into two construction sessions—one in the morning (10 AM to 12 PM) and one in the afternoon (2 to 4 PM)—with participation slots available on a first-come, first-served basis.

While RSVPs are required to participate in the physical construction, all are invited to gather together at the site any time between 10 AM–4 PM to have a snack, witness the process, engage with the project, and be part of this shared moment of construction.

Active participation in construction is recommended for individuals ages 8 and up; children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.
