Montauk's Fine Arts Festival on the Green


This art show ~ which opens on Saturday the 23rd and runs through Monday the 25th ~ weeds out a lot of the cuddly crap one often sees at seaside art shows and offers for sale works often worth shelling out for and collecting. If the weather is not sunny enough for the beach, this show will be a Godsend and worth the drive out and the time spent. Bring an extra cache of cash because you will surely want to buy something. There will be 72 artists from as far away as Cumbria (in mountainous northwest England), Louisiana, and California. Among them are registered 18 painters, 14 jewelry makers, 9 photographers, 8 mixed media manipulators, 7 sculptors, 4 ceramicists, 3 each of glass workers, graphics/printmakers, and wood workers, 2 people who draw, and 1 digital artist and 1 metalworker.

 

The artists in the juried show are being offered discounted motel rooms. It may be that even non-artists will be offered the same discounts, if they ask.
