Dedicated to Supporting Arts and Recreation in the Catskills
About Arts&Rec
ARTS&REC is a community-oriented educational, cultural, and recreational non-profit organization based in the village of Stamford, NY, with a commitment to bringing creative practitioners to the region and offering workshops to foster creativity and recreation.
Benefitting Arts and Recreation in the Catskill Mountains
Our annual benefit gala raises funds to support ARTS&REC's programming, including the artists-in-residence program, public art exhibitions, youth art workshops, and outdoor recreation on the Catskill Scenic Trail.
Set at Historic Belle Terre
A historic mansion on forty acres along the former Delaware and Ulster Railroad (now the Catskills Rail Trail), Belle Terre is one of artist Hunt Slonem’s exquisite historic properties, showcasing his singular artworks and design collections.
Belle Terre once belonged to copper heiress, philanthropist, and activist Alice T. McLean. In 1946, together with Eleanor Roosevelt, McLean hosted the International Assembly of Women at Belle Terre as an endeavor to bring women world leaders together to discuss post-war issues.
Events were held at Belle Terre as well as across the very same region where OSMOS Station and Arts&Rec are located today.
We are grateful to Hunt Slonem for once again hosting this Gala, and excited to welcome you to this historic property,
