We are excited o announce that the next show we are hosting in conjunction with the Windham Arts Alliance is 'Whiteout'. As winter in the Catskills, turn the mountains from gray to a blanket of sparkling white, the chill transmits a crisp new energy and vibrancy in the air. Some of us discover a rainbow of color all around us. These works compromise landscapes, abstraction, still life, an object, or anything else that catches the artist's spirit and creativity. See what they come up with!
