Greetings Art Lovers:
This week we remember the visionary spirit of John Flowers. For readers who didn't have the pleasure to meet him, John believed in our community and all the goodness that everyone contributed. Several times he hosted Arts Mid-Hudson on his radio show for Queen City arts and community events, allowing emerging performers and artists to share their voice. His memory will live on in the creative future he helped build.
With fall right around the corner, save the date for the 29th Annual Dutchess County Executive's Arts Awards, October 7 at Villa Borghese. Check the webpage for awardees, tickets, and a sneak peak of our fabulous auction!
