Shake off the winter blues and join us for the Caroga Arts Spring Residency to experience the incredible talent of our world-class musicians! The Spring Residency concerts are completely free of charge, but we gratefully welcome any donations you’d like to make to support our arts programming in the community.
As part of our commitment to music education, the musicians will also be visiting local schools in Johnstown, Wheelerville, and Broadalbin-Perth, bringing the joy and magic of music to the next generation
Thirty minutes before each performance, we invite you to join Founder & Artistic Director Kyle Barrett Price for a Season preview. Kyle will share insider information about the upcoming Caroga Lake Music Festival lineup, giving you a sneak peek at the exciting artists and performances that await you at Caroga Lake.
The mission of Caroga Arts Collective is to reimagine the Caroga experience through the power of the arts.
In 2012, Kyle Price invited friends to his grandmother’s house on Caroga Lake, where they presented a week of free concerts, ambitiously calling themselves the Caroga Lake Music Festival (CLMF). During the first five seasons, CLMF grew from one to five weeks, presenting concerts at a variety of local venues. In 2016, to accommodate the growth, the organization gained 501(c)(3) not-for-profit status as Caroga Arts Collective. Today, Caroga Arts presents over 50 performances and community events annually bringing world-class artists from various genres of music, visual art, poetry, and film to the Southern Adirondacks.
The public is invited to taste, try and buy food and beverage products made by the small businesses and farms from the Mohawk Valley to the Capital Region. The Expo will provide an opportunity for Agricultural Innovation Center grant participants and artisan, health, beauty, and farm-to-table businesses to showcase their products to sponsors, buyers, and the community.
