The Michael Kudish Natural History address is 2515 Tower Mountain Road, Stamford, NY 12167 

The Preserve entrance is actually a few hundred feet south (up hill)
of 2515 but does not have it's own street address. (past pond on right)
It is on the North slope of Churchill Mountain. 
We will put out MKNHP signs for the Festival leading you up there. 
It is just outside the village of Stamford on the way up to Mt. Utsayantha.

A Look Back at Arts for All Festival 2018
​
What an outstanding day ! Really ... it couldn’t have been more perfect .  I do believe you thought of everything . I loved being in the meadow , the view from my Workshop tent was inspirational , the plays were a delight , the fabric covered hay bales for audience seating was brilliant , food was great and attendance at both my Kachina doll making workshop and dried flower clay holders was ongoing and enthusiastic .

Thank you for making such a magical day happen !
