A Benefit Concert
Proceeds from this online concert will be split 50/50 by Clearwater and The Vanaver Caravan. Both The Vanaver Caravan and Clearwater organizations owe their mission and vision to Pete Seeger, who pioneered The Vanaver Caravan’s Arts Ed programs and built the Sloop Clearwater on the Hudson River.
Pete’s wisdom has always brought us together. Please consider making a donation towards the legacies that Pete Seeger helped to create.

An essential part of the Pillow’s mission and a beloved tradition, Inside/Out performances are free and open to the public. Audiences of all ages and walks of life travel from around the world and right down the road to meet new people and enjoy the art of dance as a community.
Every year Inside/Out performances feature a variety of styles. Past performances have included classical ballet, tap, jazz/musical theatre dance, hip-hop, flamenco, traditional Korean dance, India’s bharata natyam, and many other genres. Performances are family-friendly and are followed by a brief question and answer session with the audience.
Patrons are welcome to arrive early to claim a seat or to bring chairs from home. Food and drink are welcome in the performance space. While at Inside/Out, we ask that you do not video record performances. Photography is permitted for personal use only, please do not solicit.
