Windham Arts Alliance Art Extravaganza

WINDHAM - This past August, Windham Arts Alliance in collaboration with the Main Street Community Center and the Mountaintop Arboretum brought a two-day plein-air painting gathering to the Mountaintop. The artwork produced at these two events is on display at the Main Street Community Center until November 1, 2024. Come and see the art that was created and meet the artists on September 7 from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. We are very excited to present the Lex Grey Trio from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. There is no charge for this event. The Main Street Community Center is located at 5494 State Route 23 (aka Main Street), Windham, NY (518.734.4168 or mainstreetcenter.org).

If you take 25 artists and bring them to the same place to paint or draw, what will happen? Amazingly, you will get 25 entirely different interpretations of what attracted their attention. What was important to each of them was as varied as their styles and personalities. Some people just walking the Path stopped to look at the artists working. Three children visiting with their family stopped and joined the presentation and started to paint. It was a wonderful day for all. Come and see how the artists interpreted the beauty of the Catskills.

Lex is an award-winning Blues singer and an inductee in the New York State Blues Hall of Fame. Join Lex for an intimate afternoon of moody music from the 1920’s and beyond. WAA is honored to be able to  present the Lex Grey Trio at our opening. 

Windham Arts Alliance would like to thank the Main Street Community Center, the Mountaintop Arboretum, and the Town of Windham for helping to make this event possible.
