Westchester Fine Arts Festival

Tarrytown and the Sleepy Hollow Arts Council host the premier of the Westchester Fine Arts Festival in Pierson Park on Saturday October 2nd and Sunday October 3rd, 2010.  Revel in the coolness of early October and emerging autumn colors along the Hudson River while enjoying a unique and exquisite collection of original hand-made fine art.  This nationally juried event showcases the creations of artists journeying to Tarrytown from 17 states and Canada.  Over 10,000 pieces of extraordinary original art will be for sale, including the works of painters, sculptors, photographers, jewelers, digital artists, glass and ceramic artists along with creations in mixed-media, metal, and wood. 

 

Unlike most gallery shows, artists are available throughout the event.  This provides you the unique opportunity to meet and interact with the talented creators of each piece.  Many of these internationally acclaimed artists are represented in major museums and prestigious private collections throughout the world.
