Solaris Center for the Social Arts

Solaris is Camphill Hudson’s Center for the Social Arts, and it is the first Center of its kind.  Located right in the middle of Hudson’s downtown on Warren Street, Solaris is a place in which people of all ages and abilities can find that they have a meaningful contribution to make to their world.  Solaris was founded in October 2012.

A Cultural Center

Solaris serves as the hall for Camphill Hudson and many cultural events and festival celebrations take place there that are open not only to Camphill Hudson residents, but to the community at large as well.  We host our festival celebrations and social gatherings at Solaris.  Talks and other community events are also regularly hosted at Solaris.

Community Dinners

---

​The First Tuesdays of the month are Community Dinner nights at Solaris.  In October, 2012, Camphill Hudson began hosting Community Dinners. Dinners are cooked and served by members and volunteers of Camphill Hudson. We serve between 30 to 50 people weekly.  All are treated with dignity, and all sit together, family style, at tables laid with ironed tablecloths and seasonal centerpieces.

Cultural Evenings

The Third Tuesdays of the month are Cultural Evenings at Solaris. We have hosted karaoke nights, fashion shows, dramatic arts evening, small concerts, game nights, dance parties - lots and lots of fun! These evenings are designed to create a safe social space for people with special needs from inside and outside Camphill Hudson.
