Our Mission
Woodstock, New York’s rugged landscape and natural beauty have inspired countless artists—such as George Bellows, Birge Harrison, John F. Carlson and Anita M. Smith—to reach deep within their imaginations to express the soul of Woodstock through their paintings.

This site is dedicated to WoodstockArts. It is a celebration of a state of mind and being—not only on the part of Woodstock artists, but people everywhere whose artful approach fosters respect and harmony among all living entities. This way of life has been commemorated at a continuing series of Woodstock festivals, from the time of the Amerindians, through the Maverick Festivals of the early 20th century, to the Festival of 1969, and up to the present day.

WoodstockArts are paintings, written works, operas, films, dances, concerts—any arts that help to promote an inner-directed and informed planetary consciousness. WoodstockArts are symbolized by a prancing, piping Pan who calls to our inmost nature and who leads us in the dance of life toward a
healthier planet Earth.
