Fall 2014 GOST - it's this weekend, Oct. 11, 12 & 13, don't miss it.

Artists Gardiner Open Studio Tour, Fall 2014
GARDINER OPEN STUDIO TOUR 
FALL 2014

  The GOST is growing. Each tour we add more Gardiner area residents to our roster: wonderful artists who want to share their enthusiasm. This town is just chock full of creative people, and through the GOST some of them are coming down their long rural driveways to participate in our exciting community of artists.
  New this tour are Ron Schaefer, a painter currently showing work the Mark Gruber Gallery in New Paltz, Lady Pink, a very expressive painter with a background in street graffiti;  Meadow, a multi-talented artist who has worked and taught in many different media, including painting, ceramics and jewelry; and Keri Gould, a photographer also working in fiber arts. These diverse additions to the tour add energy and variety to the kind of work that can be seen here in Gardiner.

Meadow's studio:  paintings, pottery and sculpture
 The studio tour experience is a chance for the community and for out of town visitors to see artists demonstrations, and experience the places where artists work and often also live.
  Artists studios are a reflection of their passions and their inner muse. The studios on the GOST tour are all quite interesting and all very different from one another. The buildings range from the DM Weil Gallery, a super modern gallery and studio space designed to accommodate enormous canvases, to the rambling barn and workshop that Meadow calls home.
  You will see the signs going up now announcing the tour for this weekend. With all that is going on this weekend in our area it may seem hard to choose what to do....

  GOST is an experience that won't be soon forgotten. Visitor after visitor who have participated in past tours have commented on how exciting the artwork was. But many have said that meeting the artists where they work and live was an even more meaningful experience.
  The GOST is free for one and all. Pick up your Tour Map and Artist Guide at local retailers and restaurants in the New Paltz and Gardiner areas, or DM Weil Gallery or any of the artist locations.

The Gardiner Open Studio Tour is on again May 3rd and May 4th 2014.


New this Spring 2014! The GOST Tour will have more artist studios, more artists, a new map, and it is sure to be even more fun than last Fall.


It's Free! Exciting! Fun for the whole family.


For those who have never done an Open Studio Tour, this is a wonderful opportunity to get out into the Spring weather and enjoy the Hudson Valley and it's Arts Community. Put us on your calendar for the first weekend in May 2014.


Here's what is great about the Gardiner Open Studio Tour:

  • Visit the homes and studios of local Gardiner NY area artists.
  • Watch various demonstrations by participating artists as they show how they do their work.
  • Ask questions and chat with artists about what makes them so passionate about their art.
  • Inspire the budding little artists in your family.
  • Drive some little known highways and byways of the beautiful Hudson Valley to places you probably would never find on your own.
  • For art lovers, an opportunity to buy art at the source, and know the story and the personalities behind it.
Watch for maps arriving in local stores, restaurants and B&B's this coming April.
