Cultural VibranCyCommunity Engagement, Economic Vitality
Bethel Woods embodies the vision of
business entrepreneur and philanthropist Alan
Gerry, who founded it in 2006 with the desire to
restore, refresh, and revitalize his native
Sullivan County.
That vision is realized in exclamations of awe
as guests first approach the historic site to
see a world-class concert, take part in an
educational, community program, or visit the
Museum amid a beautiful rural backdrop.
From these quintessential experiences, we
have intentionally grown to share so much
more with families and children — from
performances in our Event Gallery, to our
festivals, and to exhibitions in our Museum.
Throughout the pages in this publication, you’ll
read stories about achievements met, and lives
changed through the arts, all of which were
experienced right here at Bethel Woods.
Driving these and many other accomplishments
are the outstanding staff and volunteers, and the
tireless work of our diligent Board of Trustees.
this is just the beginning…
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is a not-for-profit cultural
organization committed to inspiring expression, creativity and
innovation through the arts. Located at the site of the 1969
Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, NY, just 90 minutes
from New York City on 800 acres of manicured grounds, the
Center offers multiple stages featuring diverse performances,
an award-winning museum, and educational, community,
and museum programs that provide meaningful experiences
in the arts, history and civic engagement.
in 2012, more than 139,000 attended concerts and we
welcomed more than 66,000 visitors — including students,
teachers and families — to our festivals, educational,
community and museum programs.

“We are committed to improving the lives of the community, by providing rich educational experiences for children and
their families.”
— Darlene Fedun, CEO
Deep Roots,
thriVing artS,Poised for Growth
Eight years later, the impact of this cultural gem extends well beyond the
perceived boundaries of “The Garden.” Known for its unique musical and
cultural legacy, the fertile ground now provides for the growth of multiple
programs and initiatives.
We are embarking on a strategic planning process while growing
collaborative partnerships with local and national non-profits who share
our values and purpose of bringing residents and artists together to create
vibrant and thriving communities.
Many already support our efforts to become a powerful arts-based model
for economic development. There is, however, much more to do on
our quest to provide young people and families with affordable cultural
resources that both inspire and enrich.
Please consider joining our members, volunteers, ambassadors, and
especially donors, as we continue to make a difference in the lives of
visitors of all ages.
Your support is essential to providing continued access to the
transformative power of the arts.
Whether you give is entirely up to you, but every contribution helps us to
reach more people in our community.
Thank you!

Our belief in life-long learning and
exploration drives our efforts to reach
school groups, youth and families.
Educational and Community Outreach
programs open minds, invite conversation,
excite interest and encourage individuals to
contribute positively to the development of a
vibrant community, region and world.
In 2012 we introduced several new performing
arts initiatives for children and young adults.
Last year saw the growth of many education
and Community Programs for our region’s
youth and their families. More than 35,000
people benefitted from performances,
workshops and programs.
Bethel Woods launched the youth opera
experience (YOE) in partnership with the
Delaware Valley Opera and Executive Director,
Carol Castel. This one week program guided
children in the production of an original opera
under the guidance of regional operatic
composer Evan Mack who donated his time and
talents to guide the children in the creation of
an original song.
Due to its outstanding success, in 2013 an
expanded Summer Stages program will
providen three, two-week long workshops in
musical traditions, theater, Opera, writing and
the visual arts.
“The program fosters innovation and
self-expression,” according to Margaret Hughes,
Director of Education and Community Outreach.
Nine-year-old Youth Opera Experience
participant, Charles Simon learned all the
facets of live production, including the creation
of posters, costumes and scenery for stage
sets. It is a significant opportunity for creative
expression that’s increasingly unavailable in school.
After seeing the performance, Charles’
seven-year-old brother, Henry declared his
determination to participate in 2013.

The Conservatory at Bethel Woods is a new multi-purpose learning and rehearsal space. Renovations to the 5,800 square foot structure transformed it from a residence into an accessible, arts education and community program facility. The arts education center provides panoramic views of the Bethel Woods site and includes areas for music practice, classrooms, a costume shop, scenic design, as well as a dining area.
Young people today face many challenges
and can often feel lost or isolated as a result.
Artistic expression helps them adjust, providing
an outlet for exploring and expanding beyond
their everyday constraints.
Through Saturdays at the Woods
(SAW), young people in grades K through 9
participate in an interactive experience that
unleashes their imagination and celebrates
self-expression. In 2012, 180 youth enjoyed
workshops on acting, costuming, writing,
dance and more.
The program supports Bethel Woods’ mission
to inspire expression, creativity and
innovation through the arts, giving young
people the opportunity to expand their
horizons, explore new worlds and find their
voice. Scholarship and transportation grants
help to increase accessibility to the arts for our
regional youth.
Nine-year-old Abigail Fuller participated in the YOE
and SAW in 2012 and still beams at the mention
of Bethel Woods.
“Bethel Woods was perfect, as I imagined it would be,” enthuses Abigail.
“It was very exciting and just what I like to do. I write plays and songs and
design a lot of my own clothes. And I really love to act. At Bethel Woods,
we got to do all of these things.”
“It opened her to a whole new world,” adds Abigail’s
mother, Victoria. “In school, there’s not enough
focus on music and the arts. She’s been waiting
for this kind of opportunity all her life.”
By participating in the programs, Abigail
met others with similar interests and as a
result, feels more confident about who she is.
“When I play with my friends at
recess and ask them to do a play or
something creative with me, they
only want to talk and hang out. At
school, I might be the nerdy girl, but
at Bethel Woods, I can be the star of
the show!”
eMPoWering OUR YOUTH
Ten-year-old Jack Kidd, (center) didn’t expect to enjoy the Saturdays at the Woods program last summer. But, by the time it was over, Jack found himself inviting others, like his friend Anthony Skeete (right). Outside the classroom and in the supportive atmosphere of the program, the boys found increased confidence in creative pursuits.

MAKING THE ARTS
aCCeSSible
In 2012, we made significant strides in
bringing students to Bethel Woods and in taking
our resources into the classroom.
Fifth grade teacher Joe Prestiani,
of Kenneth L. Rutherford
Elementary School, raves
about the experiences his
students have had on
their field trips here to
see events in our World
Stage Series. These
performances promote
an appreciation for all
cultures and traditions
through music, dance
and other performing arts.
The goal of the series is to
empower young people to be
positive, engaged members of their
communities by encourages self-respect
as well as exploring diversity.
“They enjoyed an opera by the Manhattan
School of Music students, with performers
from South Korea, Japan, France and more,”
explains Joe. “It really broadens their horizons.”
Supplemental materials provide students with
a comprehensive understanding of the subject
matter, and weekend concerts geared towards
families are accompanied by a workshop to
reinforce the cultural and musical concepts
within each performance.
“Many students come from struggling families.
Bethel Woods has reached out to them by
providing free transportation, lunch and a
potentially life-altering experience,” says Joe,
who is planning a field trip to our Museum
to explore the cultural, musical and political
history of the 1960s. “We’re looking forward
to a great relationship with Bethel Woods for
years to come.”
Another school benefitting from such outreach
is Chase Elementary School. More than 220
students attended a World Stage performance
and visited our Museum. All were provided
transportation free of charge. For principal Bill
Frandino, that’s what it takes. “Bethel Woods
makes it particularly easy for me to arrange for
our students to make the trips.”
Bill says teachers make connections between
what the students learn at the Museum and
what they are studying in the classroom.
Teachers have also borrowed our traveling
trunks for classroom use. These suitcases
filled with touchable objects, lesson plans
and supplemental information allow them to
incorporate new tools that are linked to the
students’ experience on site.
A new grant from TD Charitable Foundation
will help launch bethel Woods in the
Classroom, a two-track program designed
to engage and educate students by bringing
innovative teaching methods and original
curriculum to local schools, led by Bethel
Woods educators.Through generous support from Guardian Angel Motorsports, free transportation and program admission was provided to Sullivan County, NY public school students. Such funding enabled 1,200 youth to experience meaningful cultural and educational programs in 2012. Discounted transportation is also available for students from surrounding counties through the support of Rolling V Bus Corporation.
Creating More oPPortunitieS
“It’s amazing that we
have this beautiful
cultural arts facility nearby
and that they’ve found ways
to make this opportunity
available to our students
at no charge.”
— Joe Prestiani

The 1969 Woodstock festival inspired a
generation of Americans. Today, the
influence of the music, history and ideals of
an iconic decade continue to shine brightly
through the award-winning Museum at Bethel
Woods — which celebrated its fifth anniversary
in June 2013.
Understanding the 1960s as a pivotal decade for
progress in social change, human fellowship and
civic engagement is critical to furthering positive
change. The Museum’s immersive, multi-media
experience makes the historical relevance of
the ’60s and Woodstock accessible to new and
future generations.
Thousands of regional families and students,
as well as the general public, shared in the
Museum’s lively and interactive approach to
history through its year-round programming
including family days, films, Speaker
Series, Special exhibitions, group
tours, travelling trunks, and Workshops
for educators.
PaSt MeetS future: The Museum at Bethel Woods
Rolling Stone photographer Baron Wolman’s candid images of Woodstock attendees and behind-the-scenes action gave the world a glimpse into the legendary arts and music festival. Wolman’s “On Assignment: Woodstock” exhibit opened the museum’s fifth season. One hundred of Wolman’s iconic images became part of our permanent collection in 2012.

Museum Director Wade Lawrence curates the Museum’s exhibits and
collections of artwork and memorabilia. “Many significant people of the
era are looking to Bethel Woods to contribute their artifacts,” he says.
“This is because we value it and make it accessible.”
In 2012, a special retrospective
exhibit showcased the work of
1969 Woodstock festival poster
artists arnold Skolnick and
david edward byrd. The
two had never met prior to the
weekend-long Rock Art Poster Fair
where they engaged in a public
interview with Stephanie Plunkett
of the Norman Rockwell Museum.
Our Museum also presented across the great divide:
Photographs by roberta Price. This photographic diary of Price’s
seven years as a resident of Libre, a commune in the Huerfano Valley
in southern Colorado, explored the back-to-the-land movement of the
late 1960s and ’70s.
Evocative speakers, films and other events are designed to
complement the Museum’s permanent and special exhibitions by
presenting leading authorities. They all provide insight into the
groundbreaking decade that shaped a generation.
Five Years of
Events and Programs eye-oPening
“Preserving and interpreting history
is taking facts and connecting the
dots to show why events are
important. We have such rich source
material to draw from — photos, film,
audio and living artists who are
passionate about the story of
Woodstock and the ’60s.”

Local critical acclaim for the trio of 2012 spring and fall chamber series
at the Event Gallery led directly to 2013’s Sundays with friends
— curated by Ms. Moon, Associate Principal Cello of the New York
Philharmonic — featuring five recital and small ensemble performances
by world-renowned classical musicians.
We continued to deepen our community
collaboration by presenting outstanding
performances in partnership with the
Shandelee Music festival and
the bradstan Cabaret Series, both
excellent examples of our shared
commitment to offering high-quality,
diverse programs to local communities.
Experiencing the arts helps people of all ages to become active in their communities, which in turn creates vibrant and healthy places to live.
At Bethel Woods, we provide artistic and
cultural experiences that foster and sustain
this process.
Since opening in 2006, our year-round
programming has reached over 1.34 million
people of all ages through 325 performances,
films, workshops, lectures and events.
Part of what makes this accessibility to regional
audiences possible is our 440-seat indoor Event
Gallery, an intimate performance space that
features an eclectic mix of magnificent talents
from classical musicians such as cellist eileen
Moon to legendary singer-songwriters like
Joni Mitchell.

Together, We Can
inSPire and enriCh Our Communities
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has renewed our rural region with
hundreds of much-needed jobs and millions of tourism dollars that
support so many of the small local businesses in our community.
But proceeds from tickets sales only cover a small portion of our operating
costs. Everyone can play a role in assuring that this tremendous cultural
resource remains accessible to families, students and people of all ages.
Your support and financial assistance as a member, volunteer, ambassador,
donor, or sponsor will help to deepen the transformative power of the arts
in Sullivan County, NY.
As our 2012 financial results indicate, 43% of our operating budget is provided by individual,
corporate and foundation support; of which $3.6 million is derived from the continued generosity
of the Gerry Family. Under the guidance of our dedicated Board of Trustees and with the support
of our generous donors, sponsors, members, and volunteers, we will continue our work to offer
first-rate, affordable access to the arts.
every contribution helps us reach more people.
