The annual Hudson ArtsWalk Festival, sponsored by the Columbia County Council of the Arts, takes place this weekend, Saturday, October 6 and Sunday, October 7 in Hudson, New York. This event is free and open to the public. Organizers say that The Columbia County Council on the Arts 18th annual ArtsWalk is, “the region’s largest arts festival celebrating the Hudson Valley’s most spirited and creative artists. Activities will highlight the arts in all their forms!”
The 2012 ArtsWalk Literary Series includes multiple Guggenheim Fellows, award-winning NY Times Bestselling authors and a Pulitzer Prize winning Poet Laureate; generating much excitement in literary circles this year!
