"A Mecca of Creativity for the Regional Art World"
(The Journal News, August 2003)
The Garnerville Arts & Industrial Center is home to a thriving community of artists and artisans who create and exhibit their works in this landmark, pre-civil war factory complex. Painters, sculptors, photographers, mosaic and stained-glass artists, wood artisans, composers, writers and set designers have replaced the knitters and weavers that once worked in the aerie lofts of this former textile mill, often referred to as SoHo in Rockland.
Studios
Artist studio spaces are available in many shapes and sizes, but commonly feature high ceilings, large windows and oversized doors. Artists may enjoy the privacy of their studios while having the opportunity to interact, network and collaborate with fellow artists. Access is 24 hours, 7 days per week, and the complex is gated and patrolled 24/7.
Open Studio/GAGA Arts Festival
The Garnerville Arts & Industrial Center and the artists and artisans, work together to sponsor an annual Open Studio/Arts Festival in early June. The GAGA Arts Festival, a much-anticipated regional event, attracts nearly 5000 visitors each year. The 8th Annual GAGA Arts Festival will be held on June 7-8,2008. GAGA Arts Center is a tax exempt, not for profit corporation. Click on the Brickhead below to reach gagaartscenter.org
GAGA and Dye Works Galleries
The complex is home to two gallery spaces created and operated by the company: the Dye Works Gallery and GAGA (GArnerville Arts Project GAllery). GAGA is also home to Gatherings at GAGA, informal monthly get-togethers of artists and all those interested in the arts, held for the purpose of sharing ideas concerning a multitude of arts-related topics, including the creation of exciting multi-artist projects.
