This is a nice article about the Hudson River.


Interesting to see how a persons impression of the river can be affected by just getting out there and seeing it.

'Art Along the Fence' is a new series of art shows located in the Historic District of the City of Newburgh. Using the majestic wrought iron fence that greets visitors to the Washington's Headquarters as a backdrop, we are inviting artists of all talents and mediums to show their work in a NYC style outdoor display.

Artists are invited to display their art for free.

The public can browse and buy your art an urban street setting next to the park-like grounds of the Headquarters and a view of the Hudson. Also enjoy the food establishments* and shops** in the surrounding blocks.

* cafe, bakery, ice cream, fish fry, burgers, tabbouleh and more.
** art supplies, framing, clothing, flowers, antiques, gallery & the ReStore.


Important information:
There is no charge to display your art.
Set up time is at 9:30.
Please have art that can be hung on the fence with a wire.
