2023 Hudson Valley Summer Arts Pass

From museums and art galleries to film, live music and performances, the Hudson Valley is rich with local arts. The long, light-filled, relaxing days of summer are the perfect time to immerse yourself in outdoor concerts and theatre and to explore all that the Hudson Valley has to offer. For a limited time, five local organizations have partnered together to offer a Hudson Valley Summer Arts Pass for only $185, which covers a ton of summer fun for two people! This pass has a value of over $400, if all of the tickets were purchased separately. This includes experiences at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, Historic Hudson Valley, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, the Jacob Burns Film Center and Storm King Art Center.

I just bought my Hudson Valley Summer Arts Pass and I’m looking forward to visiting several new-to-me venues. It’s very easy to purchase. Simply visit any of organization websites (or click here) and use the link. Once purchased, you will receive an email from each organization with information on obtaining/booking tickets. The Jacob Burns Film Center mailed the tickets and snack vouchers to my house.

Sculpture at Tilly Foster Farm

Due to COVID this is a self-guided show.  When you arrive, there is a QR code that can be scanned on your phone to access a map of the sculptures.  Many of these pieces of art are even for sale. We had a fun time walking around and playing “Guess how much this one costs?!”

After you walk around and look at the art, be sure to leave some time to visit the animals!

Alpacas at Tilly Foster Farm

Tilly Foster Farm is home to four alpacas, pigs, goats, chickens and two miniature horses.
