Historical Society To Celebrate 90 Years at Annual Meeting

Ninety years ago, a small group of Woodstockers gathered to hold the first meeting of the Historical Society of Woodstock in the home of Konrad Cramer. Dedicating the Society to the task of creating a permanent record of Woodstock history, HSW has, throughout its nine decades, remained faithful to the mission set forth by its founders. This Sunday, October 6, beginning at 3:00 pm, the Society will host its annual membership meeting followed by a celebration of its 90 years in service to Woodstock history.

As part of its annual meeting, members of the Society’s Board will review its 2019 activities and reveal plans for 2020. The election of new board members will also be held. Immediately following the meeting, the public is invited to a celebration of HSW’s 90 years. In addition to enjoying the usual sampling of great HSW refreshments and viewing the Society’s current exhibit, Woodstock Collects – ”Heritage Through Art,” Town Historian, Richard Heppner, will offer a brief talk on the history of the Historical Society of Woodstock.

Back to the Garden, the intricate guitar sculpture now on display at the Historical Society of Woodstock’s Eames House, was a labor of love for artist and graphic designer Nikki V. Hall. The months-long process of hand-dying, painting and building the instrument proved gratifying as challenges were met and Hall’s euphoric vision took shape in serendipitous ways. The project is part of Rennie Cantine’s 2019 Woodstock Guitar Sculpture Exhibition, wherein artists created sculptures to decorate the town and then to be auctioned for the benefit of Family of Woodstock’s suicide prevention programs, Text-Me-Back, and the John Herald Fund. Back to the Garden will be on display at Eames until Sunday, Oct.13, when the auction will take place at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts, 36 Tinker Street, at 4 p.m. Sabrina and the Gems will perform their original music from 2:00-3:30 pm. Hall has written a full report of her experience creating Back to the Garden, and credits many friends who provided invaluable assistance.

EXHIBITION WOODSTOCK COLLECTS BRINGS PRIVATE COLLECTIONS TO THE PUBLIC EYE

Five-venue exhibition celebrates unity among Woodstock’s arts organizations

With a town-wide reception on Saturday September 14, the multi-venue exhibition Woodstock Collects invites the public to bask in over a century of rich visual traditions making Woodstock the art colony to beat all art colonies. The exhibition, sourced entirely from local private collections, will be on view through the fall of 2019 at the Center for Photography at Woodstock, the Historical Society of Woodstock, the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum (WAAM), the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, and the Woodstock School of Art. This first-time collaboration among five of Woodstock’s key arts organizations includes regionally and internationally known artists like Milton Avery, George Bellows, Lucile Blanch, Manuel Bromberg, Konrad Cramer, Julio de Diego, Mary Frank, Marion Greenwood, Philip Guston, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Georges Malkine, Fletcher Martin, Zulma Steele, Eva Watson-Schütze, and many more.

Each of the five participating organizations uses a different curatorial approach, telling a story that illuminates that organization’s history. The Center for Photography at Woodstock’s exhibition, curated by Hannah Frieser, will be on view through October 20; featuring the experimental photographs of Konrad Cramer, Manuel Komroff, and Nathan Resnick, the exhibition focuses on their changes from Pictorialism to abstraction. Deborah Heppner, curator of the show at the Historical Society of Woodstock (on view through October 27), invited HSW board members to submit works of personal or historical significance, along with written narratives of how the artworks came into their possession.

WAAM’s contribution to Woodstock Collects, titled An Artistic Legacy: 1+1+1, presents three-tiered groupings based on a work by historic Woodstock artists from WAAM’s permanent collection and private collections, the work of one of the artist’s descendants, and the work of a contemporary artist selected by the descendant; curated by Janice La Motta, WAAM’s exhibition is on view through December 29. Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild’s Legacy of the Arts: Friends, Families, Lovers (through October 13) was curated by Tina Bromberg, Abigail Sturges, and Sylvia Leonard Wolf and celebrates artists from every stage of the Guild’s history, from Ralph and Jane Whitehead’s Arts and Crafts utopia, to the formation of the Woodstock Guild of Craftsmen in 1939, to the merger between the Guild and the Byrdcliffe Art Colony in 1976 and the addition of the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts in 1996. Finally, Jenne M. Currie curated the exhibition The Art Students League in Woodstock 1947–79 for the Woodstock School of Art, examining the vital role that instructors at the Art Students League (housed until 1979 at what is today WSA’s campus) and their peers in the artistic community have played in the town’s rich cultural history. WSA’s Woodstock Collects exhibition is on view through October 12.

While each venue’s exhibition has its own personality, the sum of the five shows reveals the mutual sustainability of the arts in Woodstock, held together by a community of artists, collectors, cultural leaders, and donors.

Art historian Susana Torruella Leval notes that together, the five organizations participating in Woodstock Collects “point to a common future as part of the town’s artistic alliance—confirming that creative energy and activity are alive and well in Woodstock.” The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated 72-page catalogue with essays by Leval and the exhibition curators.

Public receptions will be held on September 14, 2019 from 2:00 – 5:00 pm at the Center for Photography at Woodstock, the Historical Society of Woodstock, the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum, and the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild. The day ends with a celebration at the Woodstock School of Art from 5:00 – 7:00 pm.

Exhibition catalogue available – $20

Camp Woodland was founded in 1939 by a group of idealists inspired by the New Deal who put American democracy into practice by creating an inclusive summer camp for city kids in the remote Catskill mountains near Phoenicia, NY. (Detractors would refer to it as “Camp Red” during the McCarthy era.) They helped to incubate the folk music movement in America, influenced music in Woodstock, and brought together city and rural communities through the collection and preservation of Catskills folklore and folk music.

Author: Bill Horne
Author: Bill Horne is an attorney who practiced trade regulation law in Washington, D.C., and health care, public construction and civil rights law in Boston, Massachusetts. He grew up in Queens, New York, and was a camper at Camp Woodland from 1950 through 1960.

The Woodstock Dress – Reimagined

Sunday, May 5, 2019, 3:00 – 5:00 pm

Woodstock’s Christian Science Church, 85 Tinker St.

A fashion and history program presented by the Historical Society of Woodstock and Workday Wear.

Join us for a special program that explores the history of Augusta Allen’s original Woodstock Dress presented by Woodstock Town Historian, Richard Heppner and, for the first time in eighty years, the unveiling of the “reimagined” Woodstock Dress as designed by Sarah Stitham of Workday Wear.

Augusta Allen, born in 1869 and raised as a child along the Ohio frontier, arrived in Woodstock, NY with her husband, artist and entrepreneur, Willard Allen. Urged to make Woodcock their home by artist Birge Harrison, the couple, upon their arrival, constructed a remarkable three-story home known as Allencrest. As time progressed, however, declining family fortunes would call upon Augusta to put her considerable skills as a seamstress to work, in an effort to support her growing family. No stranger to hard work – family members recall hearing the treadle sewing machine she used whirring well into the early morning hours – Augusta drew upon the early lessons of the frontier and an innate creativity to fashion what would become known as the Woodstock Dress.

The dresses, made of cotton, velvet, taffeta and other select types of fabrics were soon in high demand by the women of Woodstock. It could, for example, be either a casual everyday dress to wear to market or easily worn formally at a reception. The dress became a favorite of women within the art colony and was also worn by many of the Cheats and Swings square dancers during a number of exhibitions, including one memorable performance for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt at their home in Hyde Park.

Though styles would change as time progressed, the history of the Woodstock Dress has been kept alive over the years through the efforts of the Historical Society of Woodstock and Augusta’s great-granddaughter, Deborah Allen Heppner. Over the decades, however, though the dress has attracted considerable interest by designers who have marveled at Augusta’s intricate work, the reproduction of the dress and its return to fashion seems to have been waiting these many years for the right person to take on such a task. That long wait is about to end.

Enter Sarah Stitham, owner of Workday Wear. Founded as a clothing company, Stitham’s vision behind Workday Wear was to focus on elegant, well-made clothing, using all natural fabrics that hearken back to a time when things were constructed sturdily, sewn beautifully and made locally. A child of the Catskills, Stitham’s own life experiences and her connection to both land and community made Augusta Allen’s dress an obvious focus of her creative imagination. Allen’s ability, despite the financial hardships of her day, to draw upon the pioneering and homesteading skills of her youth to produce the Woodstock Dress, was, to Stitham, the underlying “ethos for Workday Wear since the beginning.”

As a result of her discussions with Heppner, who also serves as President of the Historical Society, Stitham began to pursue the idea of bringing back the Woodstock Dress. “I became obsessed with Augusta’s ingenuity, fortitude and design style,” offered Stitham. That obsession has magically led to the first successful recreation of the Woodstock Dress in more than eighty years.

As a result of Stitham’s creative efforts and collaboration with the Historical Society of Woodstock, the Woodstock Dress will return to the town that gave it birth on May 5, 2019. On that date, through a program that combines both history and fashion, Stitham’s “new” Woodstock Dress will be unveiled along with Augusta Allen’s story as presented by Woodstock Town Historian, Richard Heppner. The program will be held at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, 85 Tinker Street in Woodstock, NY from 3:00-5:00 pm. An Afternoon Tea and further discussion will follow the program. Music interludes by Reggie Earls and Timothy Hill will also be presented. Tickets for the event are $20.00 and can be purchased at the door or online by going to the Historical Society’s web page at: www.historicalsocietyofwoodstock.org.
