2017 Central Adirondack Art Show

The Central Adirondack Art show is a long-standing Old Forge tradition, showcasing some of the finest artists from throughout the Central Adirondack Region and beyond. Held for the first time in 1952, by View founder Miriam Kashiwa in her front yard, the Central Adirondack Art Show is a testament to the significant place the arts hold within the hearts and minds of the residents and visitors to the Adirondacks. The exhibition is open to all artists, age 16 and up working in any media (except sound, video and film).

Awards Judge: Anastasia Osolin

Originally from the Washington D.C. area, Anastasia has a B.F.A. in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts, where she studied mostly painting (though it didn’t really take) and fell in love with the Dada and Surrealist art movements, especially the work of Remedios Varo and Joseph Cornell. Anastasia’s lifelong devotion to her other great love—books—eventually led to an apprenticeship in book repair and restoration. Besides her passion for fiddling with bits of rusty junk, Anastasia routinely self-actualizes as a conservation bookbinder (freelance), writer (unpublished), certified yoga instructor (sincere), mother (frequently bewildered), and former city girl happily ensconced in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.
