Greetings Art Lovers:

The long Independence Day weekend is coming up and we know many celebrate the day with parades, outdoor picnics, and fireworks. There are plenty of arts events in the area, including theatre, art exhibits, and concerts. This newsletter can only feature selects from the calendar, which you should check out for more complete information.

The weekend kicks off with Poughkeepsie First Friday, and if you are in a mood for some art, step over toBarrett Art Center and enjoy the Envisioning Dutchess exhibit, 5:00-7:00 p.m.

The CENTER for Performing Arts in Rhinebeck presents The Assassins, opening Friday night. With musical styles ranging from Revolutionary era piccolo and drum, to folksy acoustic guitar, to the Golden Age of Broadway, Assassins tells the story of America not through its heroes, but through its villains. Through July 17 – tickets.

Also, this is the final weekend to catch Guys and Dolls at the Woodstock Playhouse. Known in some circles as “the perfect American Musical,” Guys and Dolls is a high-rolling Tony Award, Drama Desk and Olivier Award Winner set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, with an unlikely oddball romance unfolding in comic turn after comic turn. Get your tickets!

This Saturday night there are some great art offerings in Kingston: head over to ART BAR and see the opening of Sacred, an exhibit featuring the work of Pablo Shine and Dina Pearlman, 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.located at 674 Broadway, Kingston. Further down the street check out the opening at Broadway Arts, with an opening happening at the same time – 694 Broadway, Kingston.

Kleinert/James Center for the Arts in Woodstock presents an artists’ talk for Moving The Water(s): Ashokan Fugues, a multi-media installation by Margaret Cogswell filling the gallery with video, audio, and multiple sculptural components (including water towers), Cogswell’s research-based installation explores the link for over the past 100 years between New York City’s unquenchable thirst and the people in the Catskills Watershed and their mountain streams. Talk at 3:00 p.m. with a reception to follow.
