Following its successful debut in 2025, Powers House Revel returns for its second edition to the historic Powers House in North Troy, once again transforming its spacious riverside yard into a vibrant gathering place for art, music, performance, and community. This free, open-to-the-public event will take place on Saturday, September 5th between 1:00 PM and 10:00 PM and Sunday, September 6th between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
Conceived by a team of NYC and Troy artists and curators, this two-day event brings together a curated outdoor exhibition alongside screenings, performances, site-specific installations, workshops, participatory experiences, sound art, live music, and a DJ dance party. This year's festival will feature a monumental inflatable sculpture by renowned artist Michael Oatman, experimental visual film art by Picture Lock One, performances by Ryder Cooley, Terry Conrad, Brian Dewan and so much more.
Rather than a traditional festival, Powers House Revel is an evolving, process-oriented platform where artists experiment, collaborate, and exchange ideas across disciplines and communities. Set against the unique historic and natural setting of the Powers House on the Hudson River, the festival invites audiences to engage directly with artists, participate in workshops, and become part of a shared creative experience.
