Fallforart.org Announces Hudson Valley Artists are Coming to YOU!

Fallforart.org, the popular Virtual Juried Art Show, Sale & Community Fundraiser sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Ulster County, is excited to announce its new name, reflecting its online nature. Formerly known as “Fall for Art,” the event is now branded as “fallforart.org” to better align with its virtual platform and broaden its reach.

Celebrating 28 years from 7:00 pm on Saturday, November 9 through 5:00 pm on Friday, November 15, fallforart.org will feature 30 participating artists offering their wide range of highquality visual art representing ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, mixed media, painting, photography and pottery.

A highlight of this year’s lineup is visual artist and illustrator Matthew Pleva, the 2024 recipient of the City of Kingston Distinguished Artist Award. Pleva will be among the many Hudson Valley artists showcasing his work.

The seven-day show enables fallforart.org to broaden its geographic reach, thereby enhancing opportunities for audiences to explore and purchase the artists’ unique works.

What makes this special is its alignment with the Jewish Federation’s mission of community support. Proceeds from fallforart. org are distributed not only to the participating artists but also to several local nonprofits, including: Angel Food East, Circle of Friends for the Dying, Good Neighbor Food Pantry, Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center, Jewish Family Services, Oncology Support Program, People’s Place, and RYAN House. By doing so, fallforart.org embodies the spirit of Tikkun Olam— repairing the world through acts of kindness and community service.”
