Hudson Valley Word of Mouth: Upstate Art Weekend (Audio)

Aug 26, 2021
Produced by Julia Joern.

In the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment, Julia Joern talks about Upstate Art Weekend, taking place throughout the Hudson Valley from Friday, August 27 through Sunday, August 29.

Now in its second year, Upstate Art Weekend was started by Helen Toomer of Stoneleaf Retreat, an artist residency space here in the Catskills.

In this year’s incarnation, 61 venues on both sides of the Hudson River are participating, including well-known cultural institutions like Art Omi, Olana, Thomas Cole National Historic Site, Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College, Opus 40, Dia Beacon, and Storm King Art Center, as well as some newcomers.

Joern shares a selection of her recommendations. On her list: the recently-opened Foreland in Catskill; Airfield, a new pop-up gallery in uptown Kingston; Steven Holl’s ‘T’ Space in Rhinebeck; The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie; and Elijah Wheat Showroom and Strongroom, both in Newburgh.
