The Basilica Hudson is a reclaimed 19th century factory, converted into an art and performance space. Located just steps from the Hudson Amtrak Station on the waterfront of the historical town of Hudson, NY.
We are honored to pursue the mission of the Basilica’s founder and former owner, Patrick Doyle, who over the last decade transformed the building into a gathering space for the local community. Graced by Patti Smith herself, who in 2003 gave a benefit concert for The Friends of Hudson Foundation – in protest against the development of a massive cement plant that would have occupied Hudson’s beautiful waterfront. The fight against the plant was successful and changed the fate of this unique river town forever.

2011 marks a new chapter at Basilica Hudson, which will continue to host diverse events ranging from community fundraisers to art exhibitions, to food and film festivals, and remain an extraordinary venue for independent music and theater.

Basilica Hudson's striking industrial architecture makes it a unique location for weddings and other celebrations, framed by the iconic Hudson River School skies and Catskill Mountains. The variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, the diverse materials and light makes Basilica Hudson an ideal production facility and location for Film and Photo Shoots.

The city of Hudson offers a full range of fine restaurants, B&Bs, art galleries, music venues and shops. With it's exceptionally beautiful landscape, the Hudson Valley is a cultural meeting place for artists, architects, farming and food enthusiasts, preservationists and antique collectors.
