On May 6 and 7, 2023 the legendary Bearsville Center in Woodstock will host the second annual Woodstock Rock Art & Poster Show (WRAPS).
WRAPS, started in 2022, is the first large scale, northeast expo exclusively presenting these works. Modeled on, and with the support of, the famous The Rock Poster Show (T.R.P.S.) held annually since 1988 in San Francisco, WRAPS is poised to become the premier event for poster collectors in the northeast. This year’s event promises to be a versatile and exciting show.
WRAPS will feature a wide selection of art for sale ranging from vintage psychedelia and silkscreen prints, to modern digital artwork and photography. Exhibitors will include well known artists as well as newcomers making a splash on the scene. In addition to a formidable artist line-up, there will be multi-media productions, talks, and seminars/workshops throughout the event.
Live music will be presented each night with Woodstock’s own Misty Mountain Ramblers on Saturday and Sabrina & the Gems on Sunday. There will also be live music throughout the day on Saturday (10 am – 6pm) and Sunday (10 am – 5pm) as well as food trucks providing delectable delights! See Synopsis below for full music schedule.
Since the 1990s interest in artistic concert posters and flyers has increased exponentially. Promotional pieces from the classic rock era to the modern music age have become highly sought after collectibles. Rock poster art is an internationally recognized art form, featuring many talented artists spanning decades long careers from graphic design to commissioned works, garnering attention in fine art galleries and auctions.
Held just a couple of miles down the road from the center of Woodstock, WRAPS is produced by local artists Mike DuBois and Kenny Schneidman with Lizzie Vann, owner of the newly renovated Bearsville Center.
