Event Description NORTHERN DUTCHESS ARTISTS TO HOST ANNUAL OPEN STUDIO TOUR

21 Artists open their studios for the third year in a row over Labor Day Weekend

Rhinebeck, NY, July 1, 2010 ? The public is invited to savor two inspiring end-of-summer days in the historic Rhinebeck area visiting professional artists in their studios. The free, Art Studio Views 2010 Tour will be held Saturday, September 4 and Sunday, September 5 from 11 am to 5 pm. On these intimate artful days, the artists are welcoming visitors to observe, first hand, where they work, see art projects in development and learn what inspires them.

This year?s participating artists work in a variety of mediums including photography, oils, acrylic, water color, mixed media, ceramics, stained glass and print making. With 21 studios to explore, visitors can plan their own self-guided personal interest tour or visit all 21 artists over the two day event by going to the event website - www.artsnortherndutchess.org/asv to download the tour brochure and map. Links to Dutchess County tourism sites will also provide visitors with locations where they can pick-up the tour brochure. Gazen Gallery, located at 6423 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck, is the Art Studio Views Headquarters in town. Locally, visitors can stop in, get a map with artist information, speak with Joel Weisbrod, Owner and participating artist on the tour, and then embark on a wonderful art adventure. ?The Art Studio Views Tour is a rare opportunity for the public to visit an artists? private studio, discuss materials and the creative process, and to experience art through the eyes of the artist. If you enjoy their artwork, you might just purchase something wonderful directly from them? says Weisbrod. Many of the studios are clustered together and all are within a few short miles of each other. The areas include Red Hook, Rhinecliff, Staatsburg, Hyde Park and Tivoli, with Rhinebeck central to all.
Artists participating in the event are Richard Chianella, Doris Cultraro, Kari Feuer, Rosemary Fox, Dan Goldman, Maureen Gates, Bernard Greenwald, Diana Huff, Betsy Jacaruso, Roxie Johnson, Vera Lambert Kaplan, John Lavin, Joan Blazis Levitt, Christine Livesey, Bruce Murphy, Kevin and Linda Wainwright Palfreyman, Lisa Pinto, Anne-Marie Uebbing, Dean Vallas and Joel Weisbrod. ?Many new artists have joined the tour this year, adding to the excellence of the art opportunities visitors will enjoy,? says Kari Feuer, participating artist and one of the organizers of this year?s event.
As part of its continuing support for the arts and the art community, The Rhinebeck Savings Bank has taken the lead role of Platinum Sponsor of Art Studio Views 2010 for the third year in a row. ?We value the importance of art in our communities and its impact on so many peoples? lives?, said Rosemary Bertelle, VP Marketing for the bank. 2010 marks an important year for The Rhinebeck Savings Bank, proudly celebrating 150 years in the business of banking and marking its 150th anniversary with something far more meaningful ? a year-long series of Random Acts of Kindness ? which they hope will become contagious. ?Given our long tradition of community involvement, and the tremendous human needs that exist today, it just seemed natural to focus our 150th anniversary observance on making our community a better place,? says Michael J. Quinn, President and CEO.
