Petersburgh Embraces Dreamers On November 14
An unusual video presentation will take place at the Petersburgh Town Hall on Wednesday, November 14, at 7 pm and 8:15 pm, celebrating the artists and dreamers who have settled and worked in the Town for many years.
The little town of Petersburgh, nestled in the hills and mountains of eastern Rensselaer County, has long been known for the rugged beauty of its landscape. What is not so well known is that this setting has, over the years, attracted a unique mix of independent artists and visionaries, individuals who have had a lifelong dream and realized it. With disciplines as diverse as music, painting, master masonry, sculpture, jewelry and metal sculpture, ceramic pottery and more, the arts are thriving in this small village.
