    The First Weirdos in the Woods Fundraiser!

    Friday, July 4, 2025 3:00-10:00PM

    Thanks to all who came to help kick things off with our first-ever fundraiser for Weirdos in the Woods—a grassroots, interdisciplinary arts festival happening Labor Day Weekend, August 29–31, 2025 in the Hudson Valley.

    Organized by The Tavern and Three Phase Center (Stone Ridge, NY) in collaboration with Rosekill Art Farm (Rosendale, NY), this festival will feature over 30 artists working across sound, performance, visual art, music, and other experimental forms.

    Our fundraising mission? To pay artists—especially those who hustle in trades, tech, and labor—fairly for their creative work. In the face of ongoing art funding cuts, we’re building new models of mutual support and community care.

    THE FOURTH OF JULY FUND RAISER INCLUDES:

    -Interactive art experiences with artists ernest goodmaw, Adam Zaretsky, and more!

    -An arm wrestling tournament with prizes 💪

    -Electronic noises and real explosions!

    -Games, a lemonade stand, snacks and food for sale

    -A silent auction of artist-made goods & services

    -A community raffle with great prizes!

    -Suggested donation: $20
    -Tournament entry: $10
    -Food and drinks available for purchase.

    PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING:

    -We’re also seeking donations from local businesses and community members who want to support this artist-led initiative.

    Got something to offer? We’d love to hear from you!

    Our Weirdos in the Woods Festival is just 14 weeks away, August 29-21, 2025. We’re super excited to present 30 unique (weird) local artists to the community. One of the fundamental aspects of our mission for this festival is to pay artists properly for their work. Our primary goal is to pay each of the 30 presenting artists $300. This requires raising $9000 to make the artists’ fees alone.

    We’re really excited to share these 30 artists with you and to expand the community of weirdos.
