New York artists on exhibit at Music Mix in Hamilton

The Hamilton Music Mix, a free all day festival on Saturday, July 30, will be filled with art and music! Central New York Artists will exhibit and sell their finely crafted art.
New this year, an Artists’ Village Committee juried the art submitted by artists and selected Emily Golden, Doug and Mickey Jones, Duane Martinez, Noreen Mooney, Kristen and Carolyn Neidlinger, David Chlad, Lisa Oristian, and Deb Whitman. Duane Martinez won the Best of Show with his use of metal, wood and glass to create unique art.

Samples of the artists’ work will be on display at Evergreen Gallery in Hamilton and Main Street Collectibles in Earlville the week of July 25.
