53rd Annual Armonk Outdoor Art Show Set for This Weekend
Consistently ranked among the top fine art and design shows in the New York metropolitan area by Sunshine Artist Magazine and in the top 10 percent nationwide by Art Fair SourceBook, the 53rd annual Armonk Outdoor Art Show will continue its long tradition of showcasing a fresh and diverse array of art.
Over 185 juried artists will be featured—55 new to this year’s show—displaying their creations in a broad spectrum of media: oils/acrylics, watercolors, mixed media, printmaking/drawing/pastels, sculpture, photography/digital art, wearable art and fine crafts.
This year’s show, which will take place at Community Field, located at 205 Business Park Drive in Armonk, will also feature free guided tours, emerging artists and fun-filled, kid-friendly activities. Once again there will be personal shoppers, who will be available to help visitors find and select art that best suits their taste and decor. There is ample free parking on site, as well as a diverse food court.
On Friday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m., the North Castle Public Library will show a free art-themed film with commentary by LIU professor Valerie Franco. On Saturday, Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. in the library’s Whippoorwill Hall, Jazz legend Charlie Lagond & Friends will bring exciting new interpretations of contemporary and jazz favorites, all infused with infectious Latin rhythms
