Second Annual Northeast Ceramic Sculpture Exhibition @ Art Centro Nov. 7
Art Centro | November 4, 2015Artists and art enthusiasts are flocking to the Hudson Valley. They always have, after all. Just look at the Hudson River School artists who produced works thanks to nature’s inspiration around them every day. That artistic spirit is experiencing a Renaissance, and Art Centro in Poughkeepsie has been working to share that spirit with their community, and on Saturday, November 7th, they will be opening their doors for the Second Annual Northeast Ceramic Sculpture Exhibition from 6-8pm at Art Centro, 485 Main Street, Poughkeepsie (GMAP). The exhibition, which closes December 5th, will feature the works of 23 ceramics artists who live, work, study, or gain inspiration from the Northeast U.S.
Internationally-renowned sculptor and Stone Ridge, NY resident Tim Rowan is jurying the pieces and awarding first, second, and third place awards. The opening reception is free to the public. For more information on the Northeast Ceramic Sculpture Exhibition as well as Art Centro’s other events, visit Art Centro online at www.artcentro.org.
Operated by the Mid-Hudson Heritage Center, Art Centro is located in the former Barrett Clay Works, a turn-of-the-century brick building on Main Street in downtown Poughkeepsie. The owner of the Art Centro building, Roy Budnik, recently purchased the building adjacent to Art Centro known as the Trolley Barn, which will be undergoing extensive renovations in order to house the Mid-Hudson Heritage Center.
Art Centro offers ceramics classes, fine art classes, private art studios, gallery spaces and a classroom, as well as hosting performances, workshops, rehearsals, and community meetings. Art Centro’s goal is to enrich local life through access to the arts and connection with others.
