About this event
Upbeat on the Roof highlights regional musical talent in an array of styles. For its first 19 years, the Upbeat series took place on the museum’s roof; however its popularity necessitated a move to a larger space. These events are free and open to the public. In the case of inclement weather the series is held inside the museum.
To mark the museum’s twenty-fifth anniversary year, some of the favorite acts from previous years will return. The concerts begin Thursday, July 10, at 6 pm and continue each week through August 21.

Before each concert, Tang Museum educators will offer Crafts on the Grass: art-making kits for kids starting at 5:30 pm. A different kit with a craft project will be available each week. All projects are suitable for children ages 5 and up, with adult supervision. Materials will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Visitors are invited to bring blankets, camping chairs, food, and drink to picnic on the lawn; plenty of parking is available in the lot adjacent to the museum.
The Tang galleries will be open before and after the concerts. In the case of inclement weather, the art-making activities and concerts will be held inside the museum.
Admission is free. The Tang is on the campus of Skidmore College.
