SARATOGA SPRINGS — Yaddo is welcoming the public for a guided tour of iconic buildings and grounds on Sunday, Oct. 2. Tickets for the tour are $75.
Yaddo is a nonprofit retreat for artists, and dependent upon donations. Proceeds bolster Yaddo’s mission to further the creative process by providing an opportunity for artists to work without interruption in a supportive environment.
Each year, program operation, funded by an endowment and by contributions from patrons of the arts, costs about $3 million, most of which is pumped back into the local economy in the form of employment, goods and services, utilities, facilities maintenance and overall support of Yaddo’s 23 structures spread across 400 acres.
Generally, Yaddo neither allows nor arranges visits to the private part of the estate to protect the privacy of our guests. The tour on Oct. 2 is a rare exception. Yaddo has several opportunities available for those interested in volunteering to help with the tour.
