Folks, the Opening Reception for the Collaborative Concepts sculpture show schedule for today was postponed until tomorrow, Sunday, August 31st, 2008. The Reception Center opens at 2 PM - I'll be there!
Here's the full post from the other day:
 If you're in to the arts, and I know you are, this coming weekend marks the opening of the annual Collaborative Concepts show on the Saunders Farm in Philipstown. For its third season, Collaborative Concepts invited local, national, and international artists to place sculptures throughout 100 acres of an historic farm in Garrison, NY. The rolling hills and wooded glens of Saunders Farm culminate in panoramic views of the Hudson Highlands. Black Angus cattle can be seen grazing peacefully in stone-walled pastures. More than 50 site-specific artworks were chosen to complement the farm's spectacular vistas.
 The exhibition is free and can be viewed from 10 am to dusk, Labor Day weekend to Oct 31 with the opening August 30 and a rain date on Aug. 31. Visitors should dress appropriately for a walk in the country. A "Mid-run" reception will be on October 11 with a rain date of Oct 12.
If you haven't been to this show, it's really worth the time to drive over and see it. For one, the trip to the Saunders Farm is a gem. Dirt roads, farms, rolling countryside and a view of Putnam County that is quickly being lost to the Paul Camarda's of our world. It's also a huge event, spread over 100 acres of rolling hillsides with expansive views to the east and a hidden view of the "gap" through the break between Storm King and Breakneck ridge... if you look for it! (Note: images are from the 2006 and the 2007 shows.)
