Where the Hudson Valley & Berkshires Meet

The Workshop Experience is centered in the rolling hills of Hillsdale, New York and the surrounding rural hamlets that abut the Berkshires just minutes to the east. Called the “Gateway to the Berkshires”, this historic area is also known as the Roeliff Jansen Region, and includes Hillsdale, Copake and Ancram NY, following the Roeliff Jansen Kill - a major tributary that flows to the mighty Hudson River. Our historic towns and working farms, set against wooded hills, have inspired contemplation and creativity for centuries. Our goal is to shine a light on gifted experts of all stripes through the carefully curated workshops we share here.
