Calling All Budding Talents and Seasoned Artists

The Greene County Soil and Water Conservation District (GCSWCD) is excited to collaborate with the  Main Street Community Center in Windham, the Mountain Top Library in Tannersville, and the  Windham Arts Alliance to present an all-ages art show called Flowing Impressions as part of 2024’s  Schoharie Watershed Month. Schoharie Watershed Month (May) offers a series of free events that  celebrate the waterways that flow across the Schoharie Basin, as well as the 315 square miles of land  that feed them. 

We invite all – regardless of artistic background – to submit artwork inspired by the lands and  waterways of the Schoharie Reservoir watershed. This event provides the opportunity to make art while  exploring new locations or focusing on your favorite natural space. The deadline for adult artwork  submission registrations is March 15th. The deadline for youth submission registrations is April 15th.  

The art show will feature two openings – both on Saturday, May 4th. All youth artwork will be on display  at the Mountain Top Library (6093 Main St. Tannersville, NY) and the opening event will coincide with  the Mountaintop Earth Day Celebration. All adult artwork will be on display at the Main Street  Community Center (5494 State Route 23 Windham, NY). The opening event for the adult artwork will be  held from 1PM to 5PM and feature a Watershed geology talk by Robert and Johanna Titus at 2:30PM  (registration is required to attend this presentation). 

Schoharie Watershed Month events are offered free of charge by the Schoharie Reservoir Stream  Management Program at GCSWCD, in partnership with the New York City Department of Environmental  Protection (DEP).
