Caramoor advocates inclusive arts-in-education exploration. We believe in an intercultural arts practice that actively and purposefully involves artists and communities from a range of national and international ethnic and cultural groups and from across a breadth of physical and mental abilities, languages, social classes and gender identifications so that the voices and stories of the multiple publics we now serve are heard, expressed, and celebrated.

INTEMPO Visits Caramoor
INTEMPO visits Caramoor
New Caramoor community partner, INTEMPO, a neighborhood music school in Stamford, CT, joined us at an August public concert featuring the all-female mariachi band Flor de Toloache. The many INTEMPO music students, teachers, and family members arrived a few hours prior to the concert so they could explore our collection of Sound Art and lend their own artistic voices by “playing” Trimpin’s In ”C” on a nearby keyboard. INTEMPO also toured the Rosen House. INTEMPO youth tried their collective hands on our historic Theremin, offering up to the House fresh, surprising interpretations and improvisations.

SUNY Purchase
We invited a SUNY Purchase student within the Mixed-Media Major department — under the guidance of Professor Liz Phillips, Lecturer of Sculpture — to visit Caramoor and the Sonic Innovations installation. We would like to share Blake Albano’s reflection of his visit and interaction with Annea Lockwood’s Piano Garden.
