This inaugural event, is a sequel to the well-established July
Berkshires Arts Festival, at Ski Butternut, and will offer a cool summer’s end
grand finale, to everyone who missed the July 4th show. This new addition
to the Berkshires arts scene, will introduce an entirely new group of
artists to the Berkshires.
Richard and Joanna Rothbard of American Art Marketing,
directors of the event, have directed art fairs and craft shows for 30+
years. They also produce the two annual art events in NYC and in
Sarasota, and founded the spring Rockefeller Arts Festival in Manhattan
[2002-2005]. The Rothbards own The American Craftsman Galleries, anamericancraftsman.com, that showcase American art, sculpture and crafts, in two Manhattan locations, as well as in Massachusetts and Georgia.
The show will be held, rain or shine, under tents outdoors, and in
the air-conditioned lodge at Ski Butternut. Free parking is available.
Food will be prepared by The Inn at Yellow Springs, in Chester, PA.
Tickets: Adult: $9, Seniors: $8, Students: $5, Weekend Pass: $11, Children under 10: Free
