Foreland Presents
Foreland Presents is our intermittent project involving community events that have included public exhibitions, performances, workshops, artist fellowships, and youth sponsorships. Please join our mailing list to learn more. Foreland Presents programs are based on seasonality, demand, and capacity.
We are a commercial project, and our largest footprint consists of workspaces and commercial tenants. However, we’re serious about having a good time.
"Discover the Potential" Lamps By Chris Beeston
Foreland is thrilled to announce “Foreland Editions,” a new initiative bringing limited editions from our favorite artists to Foreland’s Catskill audience. Our inaugural project, “Discover the Potential,” is a lamp by New York-based artist Chris Beeston offered in an edition of 25. This work marks the artist’s first limited-edition work.
Susan Meyer, Greater Valley Artists
Based in Hudson NY, Susan Meyer’s work is influenced by experimental communities, “they epitomize our best and worst instincts colliding.” The geodesic domes at Drop City, an early commune in Trinidad, Colorado, are an influence, as are modernist conversation benches found on the edge of Washington Park in Albany, NY.

Rachel Uffner Gallery and Mrs.
Rachel Uffner Gallery and Mrs. are pleased to present a collaborative exhibition which highlights select artists from each gallery program.

By bringing these artists together a kinship is developed, creating new narratives and conversations between the galleries’ rosters and the artists themselves.
