The Catskill Chronicle

LIBERTY, NY (January 24, 2011) – The Catskill Artists Gallery presents Carol Montana of Big Sky Productions in an afternoon of short stories and homemade desserts called “Shorts and Sweets for Valentines” on Sunday, February 6, 2011 at 2:00 p.m.

The event will be held at The Catskill Artists Gallery, 38 S. Main Street in Liberty.

Selections will feature the stories of Robert Fulghum, the author of All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, which dominated the New York Times Bestseller List for all of 1989 and much of 1990. Fulghum also wrote It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It, Maybe (Maybe Not), and several other best-selling books. For 22 years Fulghum served as a Unitarian parish minister in the Pacific Northwest. During that time he also taught drawing, painting and philosophy at the Lakeside School in Seattle.

During intermission, while you’re enjoying a delectable selection of handmade sweets, why not browse The Catskill Artists Gallery’s wide selection of art, (always handmade with love), and select something for your Valentine.

Choose from wall art, wearable art and usable art, including sculptures by Robert Friedman; glass and jewelry by Cate Gundlah; pottery and jewelry by Kathy Jeffers; fiber art, jewelry and note cards by Buff McAllister; paintings, jewelry, books and note cards by Helena Clare Pittman; and photography, wood sculpture and postcards by Hank Schneider.

In addition you’ll find artwork by over 30 gallery consignors includes photography, pottery, collage pictures, paintings and prints, note cards, calendars, glass, pastels, encaustic, wood and sculpture in prices that range start at just $4.

When you give your sweetheart a handmade piece of art from the Catskill Artists Gallery, you also support the local economy with a gift that can’t be found at the local warehouse club or mall.

Admission to “Shorts and Sweets” is just $10.00 for an afternoon of delightful love stories and delicious desserts. (And we’ll get you home in time for the Super Bowl, too.)
