The Newburgh art scene is growing! It is in no short part due to the efforts of Newburgh Art Supply and the Newburgh Open Studios art tour they hosted in the city! Approximately 800 people attended this year! Here are a few reviews from attendees:
“Michael, Gerardo and the artists outdid themselves. In the process of touring I met abut 30 people I’d never met before–intelligent, creative, engaged adult people. It puts a whole new spin on Newburgh.”
“The biggest crowd I saw was at Newburgh Art Supply. Even when I drove by the store it seemed like it was a constant of people going in and out…I think it’s a great idea.”
“It was a great 2 days. Lots of people and all know that Newburgh is changing quickly.”
“What I love about the tour is that its a great way to show Newburgh off on so many different levels, such as the people, private homes and commercial spaces, the vast array of arts in the area, and even restaurants (some hosted artists).”
