GAGA ARTS FESTIVAL - 2010

Art World to Converge on Garnerville, New York

 

 “This event is like no other art exhibition.” says GAGA President Robin Rosenberg, “Our complex of buildings is the living, breathing, working home where artists create their art for a living. The public gets a chance to see museum quality art, while wandering the back alleys and alcoves of a historic, Civil War era textile mill. There will be open studios, music, food, and live demonstrations of a variety of artisans. The GAGA Arts Festival has become a hot destination point drawing nearly 5000 visitors from the Tri State region including more and more who make the short journey up the Hudson from New York City.”
