All Are Welcome: Upstate Art Weekend 2026

June 25 - July 5

Open hours: 11am-7pm

Artist Reception Saturday, June 27th, 6-9pm

Curated by Niama Safia Sandy.

Situated in the grand Victorian house and sprawling lawns of a former Catskills resort, All Are Welcome is grounded in the history of identity-based travel destinations in the Catskills versus the more intentional diversity and solidarity necessary in today’s world. In part a commemoration of the many resorts that acted as safe havens for Black, Jewish, Queer and other marginalized and vulnerable identity groups in the 20th Century at spaces like Peg Leg Bates’ Country Club, Casa Susanna, Grossinger’s Catskill Resort Hotel, this exhibition seeks to create a new space where the divisions that once passed as safe must give way to a more total experience offering acceptance and parity for all people. With this show, we are offering an opportunity for our diverse community to proclaim a space for art, criticism, beauty, leisure, rest, and solidarity for all people.
