On the Agenda:

What's coming up for the Hudson Valley Art Owl?

Newburgh Performing Arts Academy Annual Art Exhibition at the Yellowbird building (19 Front Street). The opening was held on Monday, from 6-8 pm. Unfortunately I could not make it, so either tonight or tomorrow night I plan on stopping by and seeing the future artists of tomorrow.

Viewing times are from Tuesday May 11th- Thursday May 13th, from 6 until 7pm.

Also in Newburgh, NY, is the opening reception for "The Eye of an Artists...the Mind of a Photojournalist" on Saturday, May 15th, 3pm at the Crawford House on Montgomery Street. The Crawford house will be displaying the work of Ralph Aiello, an award winning photojournalist. Pay close attention to the photographs in this show, some of them may have been taken just down the street!

The exhibit will be up until the end of the year.

As for the Hudson Valley Art Owl's explorations, I was unable to make it to Kingston last weekend. I plan on visiting this Friday, starting off in the requested town of Rosendale, taking 32 up to Kingston, checking out Rondout, Broadway, and Wall Street. If anyone has any other suggestions, such as exhibits, studios, music venues, etc to check out let me know!

This weekend at The Falcon in Marlboro, NY:

Chris Cubeta's Song Writer Project, Friday May 14th 7pm.

Adam Arcuragi, Saturday, May 15th at 7pm.

Also on Saturday, May 15th, The Falcon will be open from 12-4pm for a Reggae lunch! Listen to Paul Roach & the Young Lions will enjoying good food, drinks, and a lovely patio setting.

Hudson Valley Art Owl News

I'm looking for arts enthusiast to help out the Hudson Valley Art Owl by keeping me informed about the happenings in their town. I cannot offer pay, but if anyone would like to write about the arts in their town, or has photos, etc, I'll gladly post it to the Hudson Valley Art Owl blog and provide much linkage!

Soon, I'll be exploring the Catskills, as well the Hudson Valley, in order to write about the arts and towns north of us for the Watershed Post! Be on the look-up for these post in a couple weeks. Any ideas or suggestions on where to go in the Catskills?

On The Agenda for the Hudson Valley Art Owl

All work and now play makes the Hudson Valley Art Owl a dull blogger.

Here's what's coming up this weekend:

Saturday May 1st from 6-9 at the Ann Street Gallery in Newburgh NY will be the opening reception of Sensing Space: Contemporary Interpretations of the Landscape.

I'm excited to check out the show and the gallery space. I've been meaning to check out the Ann Street Gallery, but the few times I've walked over it's been between shows.

This Friday, April 30th at The Falcon in Marlboro NY is singer/songwriter Dayna Kurtz and on Saturday, May 1st is the Jerome Sabbagh quartet. The scenic patio (overlooking a waterfall!) opens up at 5 and the music commences at 7.

If you have not yet made the trip to The Falcon I highly recommend going.

Good food, good music, good people.

Just overall goodness!

I'm also thinking about doing the Artist Soap Box Derby this summer in Kingston NY.

I heard about it during the Cultural Stimulus talk at the Beahive in Kingston.

Want to help out and build a box car? Perhaps an owl box car? Hoot Hoot!
