The 2009 Shandaken Arts Festival and Studio Tour will take place from July 17th to 19th. The festival begins on Friday night with a performance of "Liz Sargent Installations" at Mount Tremper Arts on Plank Road. (Information on The Mount Tremper Arts Summer Series can be found at www.MtTremperArts.com). On Saturday and Sunday you can visit over 30 artists and craftspeople in their homes and studios and see their current work. You can get maps for the event around town or visit www.shandakenart.com for maps, driving directions and a description of all the activities. I went to several studios last year and it was great! Here in Woodland Valley, WCA member Wendy Grossman will be opening her studio. Try to get out and see some fantastic art in your own backyard!
