"Art in Rhinebeck"
hosted by Gazen Gallery
Every year on the third weekend in May and August, local Rhinebeck Village merchants put tables and racks along the sidewalks for the annual "Sidewalk Sale Days". This year, Gazen Gallery will host the first ever "Art in August" event where local artists will set up and sell their work alongside the local merchants. "It is time local artists had a chance to participate in this annual event" says gallery owner Joel Weisbrod. "Now that there is a gallery in the village featuring local artists, this seems like a natural fit." This August, the Sidewalk Sale Days fall on Friday August 14, Saturday August 15, and Sunday August 16. Artists will be located along Market Street, US-9, and next to the Gazen Gallery in the walkway from US-9 to Garden Street. Visit Sidewalk Sale Days from 10am through 8pm all weekend.Don't miss this opportunity!
Stroll Around the Village, Meet the Artists, Listen to Live Music, Get Some Great Bargains, & Just Enjoy a Visit to the Quaint and Historic Village of Rhinebeck.

Featured Artist - Meet John Lavin
John Lavin is new to Rhinebeck having come from the Seattle area last year. His ceramic artwork has been shown in the
Northwest at a Gig Harbor Washington
gallery for the last four years and he is still in the process of moving
east. His pottery style is unique and
very diverse but always enjoyable to view.
Using both Raku and electric kiln techniques John creates unusual thrown
and hand built art pieces that are often embellished by the addition of wood,
glass, jade and shells. John is working
on a new project now that will include the use of leather with his ceramic art.
John has been creating for more than ten years and received his training
from Christopher Mathie, an accomplished artist in Washington State.
John's studio is in his home here in Rhinebeck where he lives with his
lovely wife Linda.
