— a note from the studio

“A modest triangle of grass and benches where Tinker Street meets Rock City Road, in the village that gave its name to the 1969 festival held sixty miles away. The green sits at the centre of an arts colony that goes back to Byrdcliffe in 1902. On warm afternoons someone is usually playing, the way someone has been playing here for a hundred years. from the studio

— about Woodstock village green

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.

— the place

Woodstock sits in the eastern Catskills, in Ulster County, New York, about a hundred miles north of Manhattan. The village green is a small triangular lawn at the centre of town, where Tinker Street meets Rock City Road, ringed by independent shops, the Colony, and Woodstock Town Hall. The town has been an arts colony since 1902, when Ralph Whitehead and Jane Byrd McCall founded the Byrdcliffe Colony on the slope of Mount Guardian above the village. It sits just inside Catskill Park.

— the year

The town's calendar still leans on the festival weekends that draw visitors up from the city. The Woodstock Film Festival has run every autumn since 2000, screening across venues a short walk from the green. Summer brings open-mic afternoons and the long-running Sunday drum circle, which has gathered informally on the green since the late 1960s. The Maverick Concerts series, the oldest continuous summer chamber-music festival in the United States, has run nearby since 1916.

— the visit

Woodstock is reached by car from the New York State Thruway at Exit 19 in Kingston, about twelve miles east, or by Trailways bus from Port Authority. The village is walkable end to end in fifteen minutes. The green has no fee and no opening hours; the surrounding shops generally run eleven to six, longer in summer. Note the common confusion: the 1969 festival took place in Bethel, sixty miles southwest, on Max Yasgur's farm, not in the village itself.

— common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Woodstock village green — and about bringing the piece home.

— about the place

No. The 1969 festival was held on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York, about sixty miles southwest of Woodstock village. The festival took its name from the town but not its location.

Ralph Whitehead and Jane Byrd McCall founded the Byrdcliffe Colony on Mount Guardian above the village in 1902. Painters, writers, and musicians have lived and worked in the town continuously since.

A small triangular lawn at the intersection of Tinker Street and Rock City Road, ringed by shops, the Colony venue, and Town Hall. It is the social and ceremonial centre of the village.

Yes. The informal drum circle has gathered on or near the village green most Sunday afternoons since the late 1960s, weather permitting, drawing players and listeners through the warm-weather months.

A chamber-music series founded in 1916 by writer Hervey White at his Maverick Colony outside Woodstock. It is the longest-running continuous summer chamber-music festival in the United States.

By car from New York State Thruway Exit 19 at Kingston, about twelve miles east of the village, or by Trailways bus from Port Authority in Manhattan. The village itself is walkable end to end.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. It carries for former residents, second-home owners, and musicians who play the town. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note from the studio travels well as a birthday or housewarming piece.

Bohemian-modern interiors, mid-century rooms with warm wood and brass, and quieter Maximalist spaces with deep greens and rust. The Catskill palette of leaf and stone sits well with handwoven textiles.

Yes. Warm bohemian leans on jewel tones, handwoven materials, and a sense of lived-in colour. The Woodstock piece carries that vocabulary and works as a focal piece in a reading room or open kitchen.

Above a standard sofa we recommend a single Large or a four-tile Mural. Above a console table a Medium reads in scale; for a wider wall the nine-tile Mural carries the room.

Yes. Order the Dura Satin or Matte finish for any room with humidity. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, so steam and splash do not affect it.

A soft microfibre cloth with plain water is enough. For everyday dust a dry pass; for the kitchen, a damp cloth followed by a dry one. No abrasives, no ammonia.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is original work from our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. No licensing, no stock art, no third-party prints.
