Art shows and parties in a local Haybarn

Two and a half years ago a group of three friends invested in an old farm in Dover Plains, NY with dreams of building a project space.  5 Harts road is the result of visionaries Jenny Morse, Jonah Trager and Walker Esner. It is an unconventional venue for art happenings. Being musicians themselves with experience putting on art festivals and having connections to the Wassaic Project, they have repurposed and renovated the barn and trailer spaces and, since last September, they have hosted parties and unique performances hoping to fill the gaps in programming in the area. Eager to respond to what people like and using word of mouth to grow their constituency, they have held Boondocks Film Society screenings, a Kings Highway Cider Boat party, and  even a wedding.  Currently Survey Dover Plains, a curated sculptural show, is installed in and around the giant hay barn. It will be up through August 10^th, weekends only.  5 Harts Rd, formerly 5 Van Nostrand Road in Dover Plains, NY 12522 to visit contact info@5hartsrd.com
