Bethel Woods 10th Anniversary Magazine

2 0 0 6 - 2 0 1 6

Dear Friends,

As I look back on the last 10 years, I recall why we embarked on this journey—to create a catalyst for

growth in a region that once enjoyed a vibrant tourism economy, to provide access to the arts and bring music back to one of music’s most revered sites, and ultimately to help improve the quality of life in the community where I have lived and worked my entire life. Today, we see a bright new future taking shape in our county and our region, and we are proud to have helped to “keep the lights on.”

That sense of community extends throughout Bethel Woods and is part of our magic. Our community

includes our neighbors, our Board of Trustees and leadership team, as well as each of the more than two million guests who’ve visited with us, along with each performer who’s graced our stages, each employee or volunteer who ensures your stay exceeds expectations, and each donor, member and business partner who supports these efforts.

We also have a steadfast commitment to quality in all that we do, so that each guest who visits with

us comes away with an exceptional experience and a desire to return again with friends and family. That commitment extends from the caliber of artists we present to the stewardship of our historic site, from each of the 1,408 trees on our grounds to the lush green grass for which we are famous.

When Bethel Woods transitioned from a project of The Gerry Foundation to a 501(c)(3) public charity

in 2012, it became critical that the organization become self-sustaining. Today, like any non-profit organization, charitable support is necessary to ensure long-term growth and sustainability. I’d like to thank those who have given their time and dollars to support Bethel Woods’ mission. Without you, it would not be possible to increase Bethel Woods’ impact on the underserved, expand education and outreach, and preserve the historic Woodstock festival site for generations to come.

I’d also like to recognize those who helped to make Bethel Woods a reality, including my daughter Robyn,

who planted the seed to purchase and preserve the festival site, and all my family, who continue to support the organization. Also, without the support of our state, county and local representatives, as well as our team of architects, visionaries, contractors and builders, we would not be here today.

Bethel Woods is poised for even greater success in the next decade and beyond. For all that we have

done, there is so much more to do, and our mission is clear. We will reach deeper into our communities to expand our educational programs and impact more lives. We will continue to preserve and interpret our historic site, and we will always provide world-class entertainment at this legendary site. I invite you to become more active in our Bethel Woods community as we begin our next 10 years.

Very truly yours, Alan Gerry Founder & Chairman

Dear Friends,

On our 10th anniversary at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, we celebrate our

organization’s many successes. Since opening our doors in 2006, we’ve worked hard to help transform our community by inspiring, educating, and empowering individuals through the arts and humanities.

We draw inspiration from our unique place in history, preserving and interpreting the

historic site of the Woodstock Music and Art Fair for generations to come. As proud stewards of an important legacy, we have conducted a Cultural Landscape Report that will guide the use and preservation of our historic site for decades to come. Through The Museum at Bethel Woods, we are becoming known around the world as a thought leader exploring of the lessons of the sixties.

Our reputation as a world-class venue for live music is unparalleled. Known for our bucolic

beauty as well as our exceptional guest experience, Bethel Woods annually ranks among the top amphitheaters around the world. Countless musical legends have graced our Pavilion Stage in the past decade, including the New York Philharmonic, Sting, Elton John, Phish, The Eagles, Taylor Swift, Jimmy Buffett, Jackson Browne, and Brad Paisley. Our intimate Event Gallery featured musicians as diverse as the Wailers, Southside Johnny, and Maureen McGovern, as well as some of the world’s most respected classical performers.

As our Education and Outreach efforts have grown, we’ve opened The Conservatory,

providing a platform for young and old to express their creativity, connect with other cultures, problem-solve, respect diverse viewpoints, and gain self-confidence.

We have become a resource and a catalyst for our community, sparking entrepreneurship

and economic development, attracting tourism, and creating an environment designed to encourage new investment and growth in our communities. Soon, as significant new attractions join Bethel Woods in fueling the region’s tourism renaissance, guests will find more reasons to visit, more places to stay, and even more to love about the Sullivan County Catskill region.

But, most of all, we are profoundly thankful for you, our generous donors, loyal members

and box holders, committed corporate partners, dedicated volunteers, and frequent visitors. You share in all our accomplishments because you make them possible. We and those we serve are forever grateful for your support.

Please join us as we look back at our first decade and ahead to the future as we inspire

generations through peace, love, and music.

Sincerely, Darlene Fedun Chief Executive Officer

June 2 is a sunny, spring day.

A warm breeze rustles the grass at the historic Woodstock site. The international media descends on Bethel with cameras, recorders, and notebooks.

Live remotes transmit, feature articles appear around the world, social media comes alive. The Museum at Bethel Woods opens, and we are recognized by The New York Times, Good Morning America, The Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post as the premier sixties cultural and exploration center.

A multi-media thunderstorm rages in a re-creation of the festival, and everyone boards the hippie bus. The Museum becomes the Center’s interpretative focus, bringing people together to discuss the sixties. Families, friends, and classmates

It is time that we look at this era and the lessons it offers to the struggle for peace and social justice and The Museum at Bethel Woods provides us with that opportunity. The 1960s changed this nation for the better.

And Woodstock was THE symbol of protest, of celebration, and of making America better.”

—Gretchen Sullivan Sorin, Ph.D. Director, Distinguished Service Professor, Cooperstown Graduate Program

gather as the music, images, artifacts, and interactive exhibits provoke meaningful conversations and a deeper understanding of our history. A grandfather and granddaughter discuss racial segregation, friends debate why we fought the Vietnam War, and a son asks, “Did you really wear that?”

The Museum brings the lessons of the sixties alive: individual expression, heightened cultural engagement and social consciousness, empowerment, and inspiration.

“When they heard of Woodstock, it was like a beacon to them. That this freedom, that in the United States this kind of event could occur and that all young people could get together and celebrate what the music represented… it was like a candle.”

—Jim Shelley, Woodstock festival attendee and Museum Docent recalls a conversation with residents of the former East Germany.

Museum Docents receive training and practice sessions to interpret the lessons of the the sixties through The Museum and the site.

They lead tours and encourage discussion and engagement among Museum visitors.

— Pete Seeger, The Byrds Bethel Woods Founder Alan Gerry announces the transformation of the Center from a project of the Gerry Foundation to a stand-alone 501(c)(3) public charity with an independent Board of Trustees.

It’s a pivotal moment in the history of Bethel Woods that charts a new course, increasing community involvement and assuring a vibrant future under the leadership of independent, creative, experienced, and dedicated professionals who are working with staff to map our future.

There are new opportunities for our friends to contribute. Commemorative Pavers at our entrance make it possible to leave permanent messages as a greeting to everyone who enters. We welcome 140 guests at a community fundraising event, our first Wine Pairing & Fundraising Dinner. The highlyanticipated five-course event sells out a month in advance, and raises $27,000 for youth initiatives, with increasing income each year. The family of innovator and philanthropist Richard O. Ullman creates a Memorial Fund to honor his memory and Mr. Gerry’s vision to support the Center’s role as an outstanding cultural resource for the region.

In a tribute to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Museum at Bethel Woods presents Speak Truth to Power.

More than 40 stunning photographs by Pulitzer Prize winner Eddie Adams, accompanied by stories collected by curator Kerry Kennedy, document human rights activists from around the world. Balancing political abuse, racial hatred and slavery with courage, service, and tenacity the exhibit powerfully documents the lessons of the sixties.

More than 1,000 brave a chilly August 15 evening to celebrate the 45th Woodstock festival anniversary by watching the four-hour Director’s Cut of the 1970 OscarŽ-winning documentary Woodstock. Festival alums along with music and history buffs of all ages gather around a 30- x 40foot screen on the original festival field, recreating the 1969 event. Funds raised go to the preservation of the historic site.

PROJECT: IDENTITY

As public schools face new teach-to-the-test challenges, our ever evolving programs for students of all ages help to fill the arts and humanities enrichment gap.

Project: Identity begins with the goal of inspiring creative expression for area teens. It concludes with performances in the Event Gallery, causing one participant to declare, “I felt like a changed person.”

Mission accomplished, but there is so much more to do. Recognizing that our families are vital to a healthy community, we also include them in Saturdays at the Woods and our full-day summer P.L.A.Y. programs.

The next step in the Strategic Planning process is an Audience Development study; the results will help us to better serve guests and Ten years later, Bethel Woods is

A decade after opening night and 46 years since Ten Years After left the Festival stage, their classic line lyrically illustrates changes to the world that Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is making.

We have a strong, committed leadership and staff, a profound respect for our heritage, and comprehensive planning that focuses on continuing success. We are good stewards of what was left to us—the lessons of the sixties—to preserve, build upon, and pass along to future generations.

2015 This year our Education, Community Outreach and Museum programs reach nearly 30,000 children, teens, and families, as our donors help us expand opportunities, touch more lives and continue to inspire visitors of all ages.

They participate in creative learning, exploration opportunities, and collaborative art-making with youth mentors, graduate students, and arts educators. Donations and grants enable us to offer assistance in the form of earned scholarships and transportation benefits.

We collaborate with artists and scholars and community professionals creating arts-based programs on and off our campus, including partnerships with the School of Performing Arts at The New School, Cooperstown Graduate Program in Museum Studies, Boys and Girls Clubs, regional school districts, Community Teaching Artists, and Vital Theatre. We continue to develop exciting new initiatives like Bethel Woods on Main, which carries our presence into surrounding communities. And, our Artist in Residency will bring those with special talents to the area, making them available for in-depth experiences.

Bethel Woods’ programs and staff help our students to develop moral character, unleash the creativity within themselves and provide hope in sometimes seemingly hopeless situations. Our children are never turned away despite their inability to pay or access transportation. In a school system that is 69% economically disadvantaged these OPPORTUNITIES and EXPERIENCES help children overcome barriers beyond their control.”

The Museum celebrates the freedom of expression found in the colorful fashions of the sixties with the special exhibition Threads: Connecting the ‘60s & Modern Rockwear, drawn from the collection of musician, designer, and stylist Andy Hilfiger.

A festival-themed runway show featuring the collection raises $20,000 for our programs and is a fashionable way to welcome back the color and spectacle of Mysteryland on Memorial Day Weekend.

2015 Contributions including grants from American Gift Fund, the John N. Blackman Sr. Foundation, First Niagara Bank, IBM Community Grants, Jeff Bank, The William and Elaine Kaplan Private Foundation, the Museum Association of New York, and the TD Charitable Foundation enable us to expand and deepen our impact. A day of high performance racing at the Monticello Motor Club generates over $21,000 and the Annual Wine Pairing Dinner amasses over $132,500. The long-term future of our Education, Community and Museum programs is brighter because of the generosity of our supporters.

At The Pavilion, Jackson Browne sings for everyman, Van Halen rocks the night away, and Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga take our breath away.

Our Pollstar ranking rises to 22nd in the world.

In the last 10 years Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has INSPIRED GENERATIONS THROUGH PEACE, LOVE, AND MUSIC. And, we hope, changed the world. To continue to inspire, educate and empower, we need your ongoing support.

We leave that up to you.

Bethel Woods’ efforts are attracting the attention and financial support of individuals who also want to invest in the future of Bethel Woods.

Andrew Jacobson is the first to make a gift through his estate to our not-for-profit cultural center. As a successful tax accountant, world traveler and retired Bethel Woods Museum Volunteer, he said, “I’m very passionate about Bethel Woods, there is no question about it.

I feel at home when I’m here, at ease.”
