Stagecoach Run Art Festival
This annual, free, self-guided tour of artists’ studios and galleries in and around Treadwell, has for 23 years delivered great art to the crowds of spectators and collectors from all over the Catskills and New York State.
From realist to conceptual, and conventional to experiential, includes artists working in virtually every conceivable media.
Begun in 1995 by fifteen Treadwell artists, the Festival has grown a lot over its more than two decade history. Its original mission, though, remains unchanged: 1) to spotlight artists and creatives living and working locally, 2) to forge new relationships between those artists and their (perhaps unsuspecting) neighbors, and 3) to further prove the theory that artists provide an indefinable yet undeniable financial and cultural value to a community.

Table to Farm Tours
Lindsay and Kevin, founders of Table to Farm Tours. Saturday morning trips to the farmers market were a highlight of our weekends. We'd get there first thing for the best pick of the produce. The more we got to know the farmers, the more we wanted to visit farms, but realized it often requires careful research and planning. One morning over an amazing breakfast of local eggs, greens, and bacon, the idea for Table to Farm Tours was born.
Our goal is to connect the dots for you, curating tours to a variety of local producers from creameries to tea blenders, veggie farms to hard cideries, creating an experience you’ll remember long after you’ve visited the farms. Hop in our comfortable van and we’ll take you on full day tour or come along for an evening of amazing libations and excellent farm-to-table food. You’ll have opportunities to meet individual farmers, hear their stories, learn about their philosophies, tour the farm, and taste some amazing food.
