Artists, the deadline for the 5th Annual Newburgh Open Studios registration is mid August. It seems that September is a distant thought but cooler Fall weather is the perfect time to come to Newburgh and visit the artists in their creative spaces.

The Artist Registrations Form and Sponsorship Form are available on the website www.NewburghOpenStudios.org. The forms can also be picked up at Newburgh Art Supply. Sponsorship levels are also available: get your business address, logo or your name printed on 800 maps to be given out during the two days of the tour.

This year the tour takes place Saturday and Sunday, September 26th & 27th, 11am to 5pm. The tour is FREE and open to the public.

The much anticipated Constellation Project by Melissa McGill will be launching Sunday, June 28 7:30-9:30pm on Bannerman Island.
