betterArts welcomes Mark Bankin nd fellow dancers to Better Farm for a micro residency this week as they work on their latest project, supported by a New York State Choreographers Initiative designed to help choreographers develop their choreographic skills by providing them with resources to advance their creative practice. The 10 dancers will be practicing on the Better Farm campus through Friday, and offer a free “live rehearsal” this Thursday at 6 p.m. Bring a dish to pass if you’d like to stay on for a dinner with the performers following the event.

A gallery reception is slated from 5-7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21, for visiting interdisciplinary artist Hailey Scheff.

Youth organizations, homeschool groups, and children of all ages are invited to join us at Better Farm as we plant seedlings on the property here, courtesy of New York State’s School Seedling Program.

Join us for a free workshop focused on growing vegetables and small-scale, regenerative production practices. This two-hour course will offer hands-on experience in Better Farm’s gardens and cover companion planting, various sustainable growing methods, compost, and more.

Includes farm tour. Register here.

This workshop will take place on-site at Better Farm, 31060 Cottage Hill Road in beautiful Redwood, NY.
