Hudson and its surrounding environs have drawn in

Hudson and its surrounding environs have drawn in artists from far and wide for centuries: to capture the natural beauty of our local landscapes, the archetypal architectural styles represented the city, and our one-of-a-kind sunsets and vistas.
We met one such artist yesterday, @petesinjin— visiting us from the borough of Brooklyn— as he was capturing this plein-air composition of the 400-block of Warren Street. Pete was here in Hudson for just a few days, to compose as many paintings of the city as he could, and is undoubtedly going home with many fine canvases.
When we spotted him at the corner of 4th and Warren, Pete was painting with great alacrity, attempting to capture the sunlight of the setting sun as its rays streamed across the building facades on the north side of the street, but nonetheless was kind enough to chat with us for a few minutes.

Hudson art lovers— this Saturday, March 4, marks

Hudson art lovers— this Saturday, March 4, marks a rare and final opportunity to visit the studio of one of the most dynamic and vibrant young artists before he and his family relocate from the Hudson valley. Abstract expressionist painter Huê Thi Hoffmaster, who has shown previously at @carriehaddadgallery, is opening the doors to his studio barn to the public for the first and only time for one afternoon. Meet the artist, explore his airy workspace, see some of his newest works, and bid him a fond farewell from Hudson!
R.S.V.P. by following @huethihoffmaster and sending him a DM to be added to his attendee list.

Studio 609 hosts the opening of its second group show this evening, featuring almost all new work from a dozen artists from #hudsonny and surrounding communities.
Organized by @philipjgebhardt with help from Sarah Berney, and featuring their work as well as creations from @barbaradurant1948 @laetitiahussain @halehatabeigi @ferngailpeachin @ericjontasker @ursamajorbummer, John Craig, Nicolas Dalton, and Britt Zuckerman— the theme of this group show is “Objects Redefined.”
“Given the theme of the show, we knew there would be room for more little things that could create an interesting atmosphere when it all comes together,” Gebhardt told us. “But we encouraged everyone to create new pieces for this, to spur inspiration and push people outside their comfort zones.”
This marks the first gallery show for some of the eleven artists. “I’ve been in this community a long time, and there are a lot of artists that just don’t get the break they need,” Berney told us.
The opening is from 5-9pm tonight, third floor at 609 Warren St., and the show will be up for you to enjoy through March 4.
