ArtsWalk

If it’s Columbus Day Weekend in Hudson, it’s ArtsWalk!  Since 1995, CCCA has organized a city-wide celebration of the arts, featuring the Members’ Show, a large exhibition and sale of about 100 works by CCCA member artists. 

ArtsWalk 2009 Slideshow


Beginning in 2009, the Members’ Show venue also featured other arts media, including music, dance, and readings from literary works.  In addition, local merchants exhibit more artwork, and sometimes music ensembles, in our Windows on Warren program.  Pubs and restaurants feature more local performers, and elementary school artists in smocks and berets paint outdoor portraits of passersby.  Now including celebrations by other local organizations, like Columbia County Bounty’s Riverfront Chili Cookoff and the Firemen’s Museum’s Dalmation Day, CCCA’s ArtsWalk is an event not to be missed!

Eat For Art

Eat for Art is a gala dinner which takes place each year at ArtsWalk time.  A major fundraising event for CCCA, Eat for Art always features an interesting venue, great food, and usually an auction of one-of-a-kind works decorated by some of our area’s fine artists.

Riders Mills Fence Show — Sept. 4, 2010

On a rural dirt road in northern Columbia County is a restored one-room schoolhouse, the pride of the Riders Mills Historical Association. 

Each year CCCA partners with the Association on a summer Saturday for the fence show, where artists are invited to “hang their works on the fence” for visitors to view and purchase. 

The event also features summer food, bluegrass music, and, of course, the opportunity to visit the schoolhouse.

Artist and the Elemental

On a weekend in May, when spring has finally sprung, the public is invited to tour the studios of some of Columbia County’s finest artists.  Armed with a marked map of our country roads, you can drive through rural landscapes at your leisure, meet some amazing artists, and see the spaces where they work. Watch our front page for announcements about this spring’s tour.
