Salon culture has historically pushed artistic boundaries and fostered the exchange of ideas around pressing social, scientific, and political issues.
Salons are for the free exchange of stories, cogitations, and inspiration, often combined with music, art, readings from literature, or poetry.
The Events & Salon Series offered at The Plum follow in this tradition.
“I have been longing to build a vibrant community that brings together courageous conversations around the issues of our time, music, art, and ceremony with the vibe of a great dinner party. This longing only increased during the pandemic. So, I created The Plum, the perfect alchemical space for the Salon Renaissance. Join us and step into the conscious community connection we are all craving.”
– Sandra Bargman, Salon Host at The Plum

"The Plum is an intimate and relaxed performance space in a superb country setting. It’s a great space for live as well as streamed performances. The sound is good, there is a comfortable green room and the staff is very welcoming and accommodating. I recommend this space as a performer and as an audience member."

"Our first performance as a band was at the Plum. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue to introduce our band, Kumara, and our sound to the world. The Plum is an intimate venue nestled in the mountains near Woodstock, New York. When you step outside you are greeted with the sounds of birds, crickets and the calm and peacefulness of the woods. Our host Sandra Bargman, her husband Tom, and the volunteers create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in this little slice of paradise. It was a magical experience for the band and for all of those who attended.
Thank you, Sandra!"
