Contributed by Karlyn Benson / Please join us this weekend, October 19th and 20th, for the second annual Two Coats of Paint Hudson Valley Gallery Crawl. It’s the perfect excuse to hit the road, from Nyack to Kinderhook, and explore this stunning landscape during peak fall foliage. I’ll be co-hosting this year with Two Coats of Paint founder and publisher Sharon Butler and editor Jonathan Stevenson. The 27 galleries we’ve selected feature a mix of familiar names and emerging artists, established galleries and newer spaces. In addition, there are a number of opening receptions and artist talks happening during the weekend. Please join us for the kick-off party on Friday, October 18, 5-8 pm, at Headstone Gallery, located at 28 Hurley Ave in Kingston, where maps for self-guided tours will be available. We hope to see you there!
