Art & Crafts Events in the Hudson Valley

The Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair has evolved into a highly successful event, voted one of the top art and craft shows in America by Sunshine Artist Magazine. Over the years, the fair has attracted the finest artists and craftspeople from across the country. We continue to welcome tens of thousands of visitors through our gates every Memorial and Labor Day weekend.

Memorial Day Weekend: Saturday May 29 through Monday May 31.

“Spooky Action at a distance” is a phrase Albert Einstein used to describe Quantum Entanglement—the physics phenomenon where two particles meet, become entangled, and remain intimately connected, in spite of time and distance. Nielsen’s installation comprises roughly 20 new, abstract photograms that are implicitly interconnected to one another, the viewer and the space itself. Some of the works are in color, others black and white. Each contains a kind of spooky action, their particles charged with connective possibility.
Nielsen’s installation, in the Austerlitz Christian Church built in 1853, prompts reflection from viewers as they engage with light-filled imagery.
Art Austerlitz is a contemporary art gallery housed in the historic 1853 Austerlitz Christian Church and grounds. Sponsored by the Austerlitz Historical Society, the program features contemporary art from regional artists and is curated by Ryan Turley.
The church is located on the west side of Route 22
