UPSTATE ART WEEKEND (UAW) is a connective annual event, for locals and tourists alike, celebrating the cultural vibrancy of Upstate New York. The fourth edition of UAW will take place July 21-24th, 2023.
THE MILLBROOK ARTS GROUP is excited to be participating in our 2nd year of UAW and will be hosting "MILLBROOK ARTS & OPEN STUDIOS" on Saturday July 22nd. The day begins at the Thorne Building Community Center at 3323 Franklin Ave, where visitors can pick up an artists' studio map and a schedule of various events happening throughout the village. This year Sharon Bates, June Glasson, Ann Ledy, Dan Lenchner, and Paul Miyamoto will be opening their studios in the village. Located just outside the village, The Hersey Haiku House will exhibit work from their family and from their collection of artists that have created works in the Millbrook Area. In addition, The Millbrook Library will host an exhibition in the lobby gallery that features the work of the Longreach Arts Collective. For kids and adults, the library will also be presenting two workshops on the front porch. Closing the event will be a live outdoor concert at the Village Bandshell.

Each group will perform their own distinct take on particular traditions of American Roots music. Then they'll combine forces and you'll hear how those streams flow together to release the torrent of musical energy, excitement, and imagination that we simple call rock.
