Rhinebeck Arts Festival at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds

One of the hallmarks of a great crafts fair – a type of attraction in which the Hudson Valley excels – is the way that the lines between artisanship and art become increasingly blurred. There’s something deeply satisfying about decorating our surroundings sparely with utilitarian objects of subtle beauty, rather than filling them with heavily advertised, mass-produced must-haves-of-the-month.

The Rhinebeck Arts Festival, which returns to the Dutchess County Fairgrounds this weekend, dispenses with the ‘“crafts’“ descriptor in its title altogether; but that doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to find the perfect accessory, home furnishing or holiday gift there that’s within your budget. Some 200 independent artists and craftspeople will be displaying their wares, and along with the paintings, drawings, prints and photography, there will also be works in wood, clay, glass, metal, fiber, leather, mixed media, jewelry and furniture. And if nothing else grabs you, you can always treat yourself to some handmade, small-batch gourmet consumables.

There will be live R&B music both Saturday and Sunday from the Lindsey Webster Band, craft demonstrations, alcoholic beverage tastings for the grownups and hands-on craft activities for the whole family courtesy of FiberFlame Studio. The Festival will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, October 2 and Sunday, October 4 and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 3. The entry fee is $10 general admission, $9 for seniors, $4 for children aged 6 to 16; kids under age 6 get in free. Parking is plentiful and free.

The Dutchess County Fairgrounds are located at 6550 Spring Brook Avenue (Route 9) in Rhinebeck. For more info call (845) 331-7900 or visit www.artrider.com, where you can also get a $1 admission discount by signing up for the e-mail list.

Join the family! Grab a free month of HV1 from the folks who have brought you substantive local news since 1972. We made it 50 years thanks to support from readers like you. Help us keep real journalism alive.

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
