Fall for Art Brings Hudson Valley Artists to the World

In the age of COVID, the Hudson Valley’s successful fundraising Art Show, Sale and Community fundraiser, Fall for Art could not be a traditional live event. The Jewish Federation of Ulster County as well as the many local charities that depended on the event’s fundraising, would now have a difficult year meeting their budgets. The Hudson Valley artists who benefit from an exclusively local artist show, would also find their revenues lacking.

Instead of canceling Fall for Art, the committee made a revolutionary decision to make the show’s 24th annual event a virtual show. It was a huge success! The artists sold their work to art lovers around the world. All of a sudden this local event became worldwide and was the most successful show in the 24 years of Fall for Art. This year, Fall for Art will be celebrating 27 years.

Fall for Art is a juried, seven-day virtual art show selling two and three dimensional artwork, jewelry and textiles from Hudson Valley artists. Our seven day show allows us to extend our audience reach geographically which increases the opportunity for browsing and purchasing our artists’ unique works.

What makes this show so special is that in the spirit of the Jewish Federation’s mission of giving back to the community, the proceeds go to the artists as well as some of these local non-profits: Circle of Friends for the Dying, Food Bank of the Hudson Valley, Jewish Family Services of Ulster County, Hudson Valley LGBTQ+, Oncology Support Program, People’s Place. This is just a sampling of organizations that have benefitted from Fall for Art’s give back to the community program.

We hope you will view our gallery and find your very own special piece of art.

Fall for Art’s on-line gallery will be open from 7:00 pm Saturday, November 4 through 5:00 pm Friday, November 10 at www.fallforart.org.
