Located in the tranquility of the open countryside, Kaatsbaan Cultural Park is a 153-acre artist sanctuary located on New York’s Hudson River in the charming village of Tivoli. As an incubator for creativity and presenter of world-class artists in dance, theater, music, film, spoken and written word, and culinary and visual arts, Kaatsbaan provides artists with extraordinary studios, an indoor black box theater with a performance floor the size of the Metropolitan Opera, an outdoor stage, housing at The Dancers’ Inn and Artist Gatehouse, and additional living space at the Artist Farmhouse. Our facilities make a breathtaking and idyllic country home for creative action and achievement.

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.

Developed from the visionary thinking of its founders, and implemented by new leadership, Kaatsbaan supports an inclusive and diverse range of artists—and artistic disciplines—and their most ambitious projects. By forging partnerships with distinguished and celebrated artists and companies, Kaatsbaan has strengthened its artistic programming
