Additional Accessibility Information

Interlude is currently located on the site of an old farmhouse near Hudson, NY that was once a grain store for a mill on the nearby creek. It was built onto many times during the years and contains many staircases. It is not ADA compliant.

The grounds of the property are also on two levels most directly navigated by stair. Our main studio spaces are accessible, but at this time we can't easily accommodate artists with mobility issues. We hope to work to resolve this lack of accessibility in the near future.
