Downtown Nyack merchants turn their shops into mini art galleries this weekend for the eighth annual village Art Walk on June 14-16. Event organizers, perhaps with a nod to the exciting weather we are having lately, have chosen “MOTHER NATURE – HER BEAUTY & HER WRATH,” as the theme for the 2013 event.
Twenty-two artists will display their own personal interpretation of the theme in 22 venues as well as other works they have created. “Much has happened to our lives in the past year. Some of those events have been most beautiful while others ended in catastrophes,” says Art Walk producer Paulette Ross. “Mother Nature has always shown us her softer side–majestic, amazing–and her powerful side – devastating and reckless. But…all the while ever inspiring,” she says.
For the first time, Art Walk features an interactive exhibit. Upper Nyack artist Bill Rauschenberg’s “Shell We Art?” exhibit explores the definition, boundaries, and point of view of “what is art?” from the lawn of First Reformed Church at Broadway and Burd on Saturday at the top of the hour from 1-5p.
Parking is free on Saturday, June 15 in the lot behind Riverspace on Artopee.
The signature poster for the 2013 Art Walk was created by local photographer Sean Jones. It’s called “Summer Snow.” (Let’s hope not).
