Arts Inn Collective Fundraiser 2026
Join us for High Tea and live music Sunday, August 9th from 3-5pm! This performance is the Arts Inn Collective (A.I.C.) Fundraiser for 2026. Your support will ensure this local non-profit will continue serving the Catskill community.
Through donations, A.I.C. is able to put on performances, artist residencies, children’s programs and community initiatives.
Arts Inn Collective (A.I.C.) is a 503c1 non-profit and your donation is tax-deductible.
This year has been and will continue to be another event-filled celebration of art and community at the Arts Inn Collective!
We’ve hosted the 3rd Annual Weekend Women’s Day of Peace, a Shakespeare Residency, Movement and Meditation Workshops and our 5th Annual H&R Vaudeville Variety Show that provided a unique residency for performers to live together and create an interactive performance that was presented, to the delight of all who came, as “Fairgrounds…a Carnival of Choices.”
We will close out our season with the 3rd Annual Village Fest on September 6th, a collaboration with local businesses and a reading from the newly published book by Heidi Stonier, “Finding Mother,” with interpretive dance by Glenna Yu, on October 10th.
Your support will help us continue to foster art & cultural exchange in the Catskill region as we think globally and act locally.
Thank you!

Women’s Day of Peace
April 25,2026, marked the third annual Women’s Day of Peace at the Arts Inn in Fleischmanns, New York. Ten women from diverse backgrounds convened to put their collective attention on peace. Each woman shared their own history, experience and what brought them to participate in the Women’s Day of Peace. Their countries of origin included the U.S., with three local women attending, Africa, China, Japan, Romania and Italy, yet all experienced the commonality of women’s issues and the desire for peace on Earth.

Walk, Gawk & Talk Series 2024-2025
Saturday, July 20, 2024 2:00 PM
- Sunday, September 15, 2024 4:00 PM
Walk, Gawk & Talk: Deep seeing in the Catskills is an experiential community art series and video documentary connecting people to art and each other through nature. Deep seeing brings artists, nature, and the public together to allow us to experience the world from other perspectives. It addresses the need to go beyond our differences and the thinking that divides us and to view nature and each other as a source of inspiration. The entire series is documented by videographer Alan Powell, including initial discussions amongst the artists, interviews, footage of the walks and audience participation. A final document archives the process of Deep Seeing in the Catskills and becomes the final presentation of the series.
