From August 23-25, 2024 Bethany Arts Community welcomes for the second year a diverse group of activists and musical artists committed to envisioning a role for arts and culture in the present-day struggle for justice. Co-convened by the New York State Poor People’s Campaign and the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights and Social Justice, the weekend retreat brings together movement leaders, singers and instrumentalists to envision a role for art and culture in the 21st century fight for social justice. Encompassing three days, the retreat will include political education, arranging, composing and recording of movement songs old and new. The weekend concludes on Sunday August 25 at 4pm, where musicians from the Hudson Valley can participate in a song workshop to share in some of the music and political education explored during the retreat.
