Join ArtYard on the afternoon of May 17, 2025 for our sixth biennial Hatch Festival, a celebration of creative incubation and community.
This year’s Hatch is a raucous, joyful conjuring of hope, transformation, and transcendence. Flocks of birds will emerge from a towering egg to dance and parade alongside community members in an act of creative rebirth.
In the lead-up to the festival, we’re transforming a section of the Laboratory Gallery into the Hatch Workshop, featuring a maker’s workspace dedicated to the creation of costumes and objects for the event. In addition, we’re hosting a series of Tiny Talks on the theme of Hope, with speakers sharing practices and insights to help us imagine the change we wish to hatch into the world.
We’ll be sharing workshop dates, more information on performers, and opening our registration soon.
On Sunday May 18th, join us on the Coyote Ridge Homestead farm to make your own planter box and then plant it full of culinary herbs!

Workshop includes farm tour and light refreshments. Tickets required.
Mark your calendar for Thursday May 29th and meet me at Wild Fern Brewing in Frenchtown.
There we will hang out on the patio and pot up culinary herb planters while Julie tells us all about the curated beer flight she has chosen just for us!

Joseph Keckler’s Golden Hour is set to make its return on Saturday, June 7 with a double bill featuring two of New York’s finest appearing back-to-back.
Rising star Grace Bergere sings of love, loss, and redemption. Her songs are dark, catchy, and earthy, complimented by her ethereal voice. Iconic musician, writer, and artist Bibbe Hansen is the youngest Warhol Superstar, mother of Beck, daughter of Fluxus painter Al Hansen, and in the process of writing her memoir. She will recite several stories in a sneak preview.
Keckler, a musician, writer, songwriter, and multifaceted creator, launched The Golden Hour at ArtYard in 2024 to bring together some of today’s boldest and most visionary artists in an inviting variety show format. Featured guests included celebrated filmmaker and writer Charlie Kaufman, award-winning poet Eva HD, trailblazing underground heroine Lydia Lunch, bestselling writer Lindy West, and jazz musician Ahamefule Oluo.
From the heart of Catalonia to the vibrant streets of New York City, Lau Noah captivates as a self-taught singer-songwriter and virtuoso guitarist, weaving her independent artistry into every performance.
Noah has been praised by distinguished musicians, from Phoebe Bridgers to Jackson Browne for her poetic compositions and the masterful guitar-voice counterpoint on her music. Noah performed a Tiny Desk Concert in February 2019, making her the first Catalan to perform in the prestigious series. She has been sought after by Ivy League universities and music conservatories around the world to teach workshops and master classes due to her unique approach to guitar playing and composition.
Noah has scored multiple award-winning films and has performed with musicians such as Jacob Collier, Gavin Degraw and Chris Thile, with whom she toured Europe and the UK as the opening act. In the fall of 2023 she opened for Ben Folds on his UK tour, playing solo at the Royal Albert Hall and other historic theaters.
Lau released her first LP “A Dos” on January 12, 2024 featuring some of the most influential musicians of our time: Jorge Drexler, Sílvia Pérez Cruz, Jacob Collier, Gaby Moreno and Cécile Mclorin Salvant among others. Lau will support Jacob Collier on his 2024 European fall tour.
