Check out this show tonight it features pieces by several WCA members!
The gala grand opening gallery show and reception of the 2012 Leaping Trout art collection.Saturday, November 17, at the Arts Upstairs Gallery, 60 Main Street, Phoenicia, NY, 6 to 8 PM.
Auction date December 8, 2012, 4-6PM
The entire 2012 Leaping Trout art collection will be on exhibit at the Arts Upstairs Gallery from November 17 until Saturday, December 8th, at which time the art collection will be auctioned. We are pleased to announce that the Hudson Valley’s premier auctioneer, Jay Werbalowsky, has agreed to lend his talents to this event. Jay’s spirited conduct of the 2010 Leaping Trout art auction turned it into the social event of the season. All proceeds of the auction will go to support the ongoing conservation efforts of our local Ashokan-Pepacton Watershed Chapter of Trout Unlimited, which is sponsoring and financing this project. You can place a bid for your favorite Leaping Trout online at any time prior to the date of the auction.
All 35 artworks in the 2012 collection have been on individual public display in 34 locations throughout the Central Catskills region since late July. Over 1,700 brochures containing the Leaping Trout Art Trail map have been distributed in the tri-state area, with more to come in the weeks ahead. The project web site (http://www.theleapingtrout.com) has received over 2,000 hits per month since its launch in early August.
This historic art event marks the first time ever that all 35 original Leaping Trout artworks will be on display in one place at the same time. No living person has ever experienced this unique collection in its entirety (including me). Come join us on November 17 and marvel at the creativity, imagination, and in some cases the sheer audacity of your fellow Catskill area artist friends and neighbors. Share this e-mail. Follow the project on Facebook (at Ashokan-Pepacton Watershed Chapter of Trout Unlimited, or APWCTU). Help us turn the buzz into a roar. Refreshments will be served.
