Food: ArtsBash is a Westchester foodie’s dream.

ArtsBash’s 2012 Culinary Chairs, John Crabtree (Crabtree’s Kittle House) and Anthony Goncalves (42 The Restaurant) will be present to greet those sampling the fine wine and the wonderful assortment of “Boardwalk Bites”-themed plates.

Fun: Against the backdrop of food and art, guests will be entertained by musicians, cocktails, and the company of fellow art lovers. They are encouraged to enter for the chance to win prizes and relax with a complimentary massage. They can also imagine themselves cruising in the brand new Mercedes-Benz convertible displayed outside, satisfy their sweet tooth with delicious desserts and take a picture with Elton John and Katy Perry look-alikes!

Fabulous Art is at the core of ArtsBash. Art lovers will revel in the wide array of artistic talents made available to ArtsBash guests. The event will mark the last weekend to explore the current exhibition, featuring works from 20 local sculptors whose exciting and personal work is displayed in Sculpture: On and Off the Wall.

Guests can also meet the artists who create in our artist studios. Resident artists, including Scarsdale’s Carrie Belk, will open their studio doors for ArtsBash goers to view their works in progress as painters, sculptors and fashion designers. A list of participating Sculpture and Open Studios artists can be seen below.
