Community Calendar

This exhibition brings together six invited artists who work with found objects, transforming overlooked materials into works of new meaning and possibility. Through the process of reimagining, these artists advocate for environmental concerns, drawing attention to using discarded materials while approaching their own creative practices with intentionality and care.

The exhibition is presented in conjunction with Trash Chic! at The Sketchbook Gallery.

This Workers Memorial, the U.S. Department of Labor invites families, employers, colleagues, labor unions, workers and communities across the nation to join us, in-person or virtually as we honor and remember those who were injured or lost their lives completing their work duties and recognize the families and loved ones who continue to mourn their loss.

CulinaryArts@SPAC presents an evening of rich culinary storytelling with the Kansas City–based mother-son duo Jyoti and Auyon Mukharji, celebrating Heartland Masala: Indian Cooking from an American Kitchen. In conversation with WAMC’s Sarah LaDuke, the authors will share their intergenerational journey through Indian gastronomy, culture, and history—woven with recipes that reflect both tradition and the evolution of Indian food in the American heartland. Drawing on Jyoti’s decades of home cooking and Auyon’s work as a culinary historian and member of the beloved band Darlingside—familiar to many SPAC audiences—their shared passion for teaching and storytelling promises an evening that is both enlightening and delicious. A book signing will follow.

A thrift-store painting. A possible masterpiece. A battle over who gets to decide what’s real.

Bridge Street Theatre opens its 2026 MainStage Season with "Bakersfield Mist" by Stephen Sachs, directed by Mark Perry.

When Maude, an unemployed bartender, believes she’s discovered a long-lost Jackson Pollock, a New York art expert arrives to prove her wrong. What follows is a sharp, funny, and increasingly personal battle over art, authority, and who gets to decide what something is worth.

As the stakes rise, the question shifts from the painting itself to something deeper: who gets believed — and why.

April 16–26, 2026. Thursdays–Saturdays at 7:00pm, Sundays at 2:00pm.
Bridge Street Theatre, Catskill. Tickets at BridgeSt.org.

Bridge Street Theatre is a professional theatre in Catskill, NY, creating bold, intimate live performance in the Hudson Valley.

Trash Chic!, at The Sketchbook Gallery, is a celebration of creativity that transforms the often discarded, overlooked, and thrown away. This diverse group of artists challenge the ideas of value, beauty, and permanence while highlighting the potential within what we throw away. We invite viewers to reconsider what “trash”is and discover how imagination can turn trash into something striking, meaningful, and new.

This exhibition is in conjunction with Matter Out of Place at Jane St. Art.

TREE TOGA — 9am Saturday, April 25 at Pitney Meadows!

Tree Toga is a beloved, family-friendly tradition that brings our community together to make a lasting impact.

Volunteers gather at Pitney Meadows to learn the art of bare-root tree planting, sing our catchy planting song, and snap a group photo before heading out. With guidance from our Lead Planters, teams spread out across the city to help transform our streets into a greener paradise. This year's kick-off gathering will feature a drumming circle with EarthBeat Music!

By lunchtime, the trees are in the ground, the city is a little leafier, and it’s time to celebrate a job well done at a local pub!

Sign-up to volunteer:
