Dip into a smorgasbord of area art

Barryville Arts in the Park set for August 8

BARRYVILLE, NY — The second annual Barryville Arts in the Park event will be held on Saturday, August 8 from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., rain or shine, at the Gazebo Park at the intersection of Routes 97 and 55.

The free event will feature the works of 20 of the area’s best artists, many from the Barryville Area Arts Association, some of whom will perform their craft on site. Visitors can experience an expanded selection of photography, pottery, metal art, fine woodworking, rustic furniture, fiber art, slate art, sculpture, silver jewelry, sign art, paintings and mixed media.

There will also be entertainment throughout the day, including music by Peter Kolesar and Carmelle and Yolanda. New this year will be poetry by Barryville Area Arts Association (BAAA) members and a special guest performance of traditional Middle Eastern dance by world-renowned Sabah.

“The BAAA has provided an incredible wealth of talent to draw from,” Shearer added. “We’ve been amazed at the concentration of artists within a several-mile radius of Barryville. We look upon this day as not only one to share our art, but also to celebrate the joy of living in the Upper Delaware Valley.”
