HUGUENOT, NY — There will be an open house for the Deerest Deerpark project on Sunday, September 18 at The Deerpark Museum and 1863 Huguenot Schoolhouse and the Neversink Valley Grange, 25 Grange Road, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In 2009, an Orange Arts Grant was given to Susan Miiller of Deerpark to complete a series of fiberglass deer forms for a public project titled “Deerest Deerpark.” Artists from all over Orange County were invited to design fiberglass deer forms depicting local scenes, ecosystems, spiritual ideas and the visual history of the Town of Deerpark.

Now, with additional funding granted for Deerest Deerpark II, Cuddebackville artist Joan Kehlenbeck has designed and decorated a new life-sized fiberglass deer form titled “Unforgettable,” including scenes of the D&H Canal, The Neversink Valley Area Museum, The Deerpark Museum and 1863 Huguenot Schoolhouse, Novak Farm and other aspects of the Town of Deerpark.

Deer forms from the Deerest Deerpark I project will also be on display, along with other art exhibited at the museum, schoolhouse and grange. Email susanmiiller@yahoo.com or visit www.townofdeerpark.org for more information.
