As promised in part one earlier this week, Julie Torres has sent her second report from Hudson‘s thriving gallery scene. Julie was a longtime – and much-loved! – Brooklyn resident who recently moved upstate, and while we miss having her nearby, we’re itching to visit her new neighborhood for ourselves. Looking at the photo round-up Julie sent, Hudson looks a bit like a painting oasis –judge for yourselves.

Thank you for the introduction to some interesting work(that I didn’t know already). Particularly responded to Christian Maychack’s work. Intriguing.
