Early this morning at Ausable Point, several artists were enjoying the stunning scenery of our region. These talented individuals are part of the 40 artists participating in the Keeseville Community Arts Festival.

On Friday and Saturday, you can view their landscape and architectural paintings at the Plein Air Show and Sale, held at the Old Stone Mill, located at 126 Sable Street. Paintings will be available for purchase from the opening reception on Friday, which runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., through Saturday afternoon from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is a suggested donation of $15 at the door, which includes a limited-edition KEESEVILLE glass and a complimentary beverage from Ausable Brewing Company. A portion of the artwork sales and donations will benefit AdkAction.

The Plein Air art program is just one aspect of Keeseville’s Community Festival. The event also features pottery demonstrations, a 5K color run, plein air painting sessions, a dye workshop for kids, barn quilt making, a free ice cream bar, live music and performances, and much more.
