For those who are eager to leave the cramped quarters of New York City for affordable, ample space in a thriving community of artists, Kingston is an ideal location.

Right in the heart of the mid-Hudson Valley, Kingston is only 90 minutes from New York City, and near the region's legendary arts colonies like Woodstock and Byrdcliffe, as well as major contemporary art museums such as Dia: Beacon, Hessel Bard and the Dorsky Museum at Suny New Paltz, in addition to a host of other cultural and artistic venues.

With both commercial and residential spaces, musicians, filmmakers, visual artists and small businesses add to the variety that makes up this community-within-a-community, which boasts a gallery that draws established artists from New York City, and a performance space that houses a theatre and music venue for notable performers.
