FORELAND

Foreland is an ambitious project designed to bring together artists, craftsmen, and commercial tenants under one roof. Our Flagship Building—the first of three to be revitalized—rises like a cliff against the water, embodying the very essence of a "foreland." 85,000 square foot campus includes contemporary art galleries, studios, food and beverage programs, special projects, and events. Foreland features ongoing art exhibitions of internationally renowned artists. Foreland is situated on the banks of Catskill Creek in the Hudson River Valley.
Foreland also houses Cone Zero Ceramics, Catskill Weaving School, Square One Painting & Drawing School, and Willa's Bakery and Restaurant.

Now on View: Greater Valley Artists: Fern T. Apfel

March 5th - May, 25th, 2025; Open Wed - Sun, 9am-2pm

Foreland Presents Kinderhook-based artist Fern T. Apfel, known for her text-infused paintings that blur the lines between language, painting, and abstraction. Her still-life works, often mistaken for collage, transform everyday objects—playing cards, letters, stamps, and book pages—into trompe l’oeil compositions that challenge perception. A two-time NYFA grant recipient, Apfel has received multiple awards, including the 2022 Yasuo Kuniyoshi Award and the 2024 Jane Altes Award for Artist Excellence. Her solo exhibition Letters Home is currently at Troutbeck (curated by The Wassaic Project), with additional works featured at the Dorsky Museum and The Hotchkiss School.

Greater Valley Artists is a tri-monthly showcase featuring artists from Greene & Columbia County.
