About Lumberyard

LUMBERYARD Center for Film and Performing Arts is a women-led 501(c)(3) non- profit. In September 2018, LUMBERYARD opened a state-of-the-art center for film and performing arts in New York’s Hudson Valley. 

Grounded in an artist-first mission and strong social-impact programming, Lumberyard is known for its acclaimed technical residency program.  Over seventy performing arts companies have enjoyed critical support before premiering in NYC at leading institutions (BAM, Joyce, City Center, Lincoln Center, etc.).

In addition, Lumberyard runs three signature youth-facing programs:  YOUNG PERFORMERS, free after-school movement and performance classes; JUNIOR CREW, which provides internships for at-risk adolescents and high school students to learn about all facets of artistic administration and production and earn a summer wage; and FRESH START, a one-of-a-kind performing arts intervention curriculum dedicated to promoting self-expression and confidence among incarcerated teenagers.   

Equally central to Lumberyard’s day-to-day operations is its rentals business, with a state-of-the-art purpose built soundstage for film, tv and commercial productions as well as a burgeoning wedding/events business.  Lumberyard’s model is based on a robust rental income stream to subsidize its core artistic and community programming.
