West Kortright Centre

I'm surprised more people haven't reviewed this local institution--a cultural gemstone right here in the heart of the Northern Catskills.

Check out their website to see their lineup (or follow them on Facebook); most of the shows run during the summer months. Performances include folk, indie, world music, and other concerts by performers of high quality. The Centre also runs cool classes in writing, visual art, science, and other topics of interest.

The setting is beautiful old church with handsome stained glass windows and wooden pews. It's a most worthwhile place with a strong community spirit and warm energy. So glad to have it in the neighborhood!

Don't know if what Yelp has as the address for this place is accurate but I know you can get directions at the website.  Really though, one of the cool things about this place is making a wrong trun or two on your way there.  The areas is quite beautiful! .   The WKC has arts workshops, Shakepseare in July, and music...  They make a good effort to  get acts from a good array of culturs (e.g. Scandanvian, variosu African, American stuff...)  Their latest jazz artists were uninspired , but years ago they had Steve Lacy (cool0, and Teddy Wilson (classy)
