Art a la carte

LIBERTY, NY — The annual holiday exhibition at the Catskill Artists Gallery will begin with a festive reception on Saturday, December 5 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at 38 South Main Street. The reception will include not only the usual wine and goodies, but music by “Little Sparrow,” an up-and-coming acoustical musical group playing ‘60s songs, bluegrass, country and dance tunes.

Among the items on view—and for sale— will be sculptures in marble and mixed media; paintings in oil, watercolor and pastels; photographs of local scenery and exotic locales; pins, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces in silver, glass, porcelain, beads and resin; glass bowls, plates and sushi sets; wooden vases and jewel boxes; and fabric hangings, scarves and handbags. All the work is handmade by local artists in a wide range of style and price. Gift certificates are always available.

The party is also December’s special event of “Art a la Carte in the Catskills,” a group of nine galleries and art organizations in Sullivan County teaming up for self-guided tours of the rich diversity of the county’s art for the cultural gourmet, plus area restaurants for the gastronomical gourmet.
