Bearsville's Music & Art Fair is more than just a celebration of music and culture—it’s a community-driven event with a mission to give back.
The Spirit of Woodstock is on show every day, expressed by the work of the community of volunteers. They organize the Fire Departments and Rescue Squad, offer food pantries and soup kitchens and ensure our environment stays as beautiful and pristine as it is. This Festival is designed around them Not only is money donated from the ticket sales and the food and drink on offer, but they will all be there - giving you an opportunity to find out more and maybe think about getting involved in some way.

Known for its intimate, family-friendly atmosphere, Bearsville has become a beloved destination for live music and one-day festivals nestled along the scenic Sawkill Creek. The Music & Art Fair, held at the peak of the breathtaking Leaf Peeping season, marks the final festival of the summer. Set against a backdrop of vibrant fall hues from sycamore, maple and oak trees, this festival offers an unforgettable experience, combining the beauty of nature with the joy of music and community spirit.

About Dan Forlenza

Acrylic & Mixed Media Paintings 

Dan Forlenza is a multidisciplinary artist based in Woodstock, New York, where he is an active artist member of the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum. Working primarily in acrylic and mixed media on canvas, his practice explores the psychological weight of the modern human condition through the lenses of Pop Surrealism and Figurative Neo-Expressionism.

Forlenza’s roots in figurative and narrative art run deep. He was nationally published as a featured comic artist for King Features Syndicate in the weekly publication The New Breed and as the co-creator of the sci-fi graphic novel SUPERBUG. Today, he translates that strong illustrative foundation into highly tactile, loosely painted canvases. His current work relies on raw, expressive brushwork to challenge the hyper-curated aesthetic of the modern attention economy, offering a tangible rebellion against an increasingly oversaturated world controlled by algorithms.
