The Catskill Mountain Foundation was founded in 1998 as a 501(c)(3) not for profit to bring arts performances to all members of our community. Our programming has been growing ever since. Learn about our vision and leadership below.
At the core of our vision is the belief that art can transform the lives of those touched by it. To this end, we aim to combine high-quality performances, artist residencies, and arts education in a multi-faceted program that will deliver broad impact to our community.
For the future, we are focusing our energies on growing the programming we present, and on expanding the partnerships we develop with other arts organizations.
The Catskill Mountain Foundation is a 501 (C)3 non-profit corporation dedicated to arts, culture and educational enhancements in the northern Catskill Mountain region. The Foundation's goals are to:
1) As a leading multi-arts center in the Catskill region, create programs in the performing arts, visual arts, studio arts, literary arts, and film. CMF currently operates its programs in the Villages of Hunter and Tannersville and in the Town of Windham in Greene County, NY;
2) Support the work of artists through exhibition and performance opportunities and residency programs;
3) Create cultural and educational opportunities for residents and visitors in the Catskill Region that support the goals of inclusion, diversity, equity and access;
4) Use these initiatives to build on the Mountaintop's current assets and to turn these three close communities into a major cultural and educational center in the region.
The Catskill Mountain Foundation recognizes strength and beauty in diversity and believes that equity and mutual respect are essential ingredients for success and prosperity. Our programs provide opportunities for a deep and rich connection to multicultural stories that celebrate inclusiveness, justice and joy.
Whether you are a local wanting to donate your time as an usher, or a patron wanting to increase your financial support, we have opportunities for everyone.
