Garrison Art Center presents its 44th Fine Crafts Fair from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 17 and 18. Frolic and shop down by the Riverside on Garrison’s Landing. The event includes free river rides on the historic sailing sloop The Woody Guthrie and gourmet goodies galore. And this year, the picnic area will be located along the Hudson River. Lounge at the shady picnic tables for lunch and enjoy the 2013 Music Series with a lineup of laid-back but spicy musicians.

The 2013 Music Series is generously sponsored by The Garrison, Gerelli Insurance, Robert A. McCaffrey Realty Inc., and WHUD. These local businesses understand that arts and culture play a major role in the social health and economic prosperity of a community.

The Fair is a premier event in the Hudson Valley for collectors of hand-made traditional and alternative crafts and for those looking for the unique gift. An intimate fair featuring 80 juried artists participate with furniture, wooden kayaks, photography, jewelry, gourmet food, glass items, fashionable clothing, fine art, ceramics, wooden utensils, tableware, and more.

This is a rain or shine event. For more information, see garrisonartcenter.org.
