Greetings Art Lovers:
The Dutchess County Executive's Arts Awards is next Wednesday, October 7th - there is still time to buy a ticket and celebrate the artists, arts and business organizations that make Dutchess County a great place to live. We have been overwhelmed with gratitude with the outpouring of auction items from our community that will be featured at the arts awards - the auction raises money that goes toward services Arts Mid-Hudson provides throughout Dutchess County, including the re-granting of more than $100,000 in funding for the arts that is reinvested back into our community. Can't attend? You can submit absentee bids!
