| ‘Inspirations of the Season’
This weeks cover for Celebrations, our holiday leisure supplement, is the first of six works of art by area artists commissioned by The River Reporter for the holidays. The works will be part of an exhibit, Inspirations of the Season, at Narrowsburg Roasters on Main Street in Narrowsburg, NY, and will be sold via silent auction, with bids accepted throughout the holiday season and the proceeds to go to the local charity of the artists choice. Every week from now through December 27, a new work will appear on the cover of Celebrations, and be added to the exhibit at Roasters. Celebrations will also feature a story on the artist, like this weeks story on David Soete, the inaugural artist, on this page. You may bid on the artworks at Roasters, located at 17 Main Street, by filling in your name, phone number and email if available, and the amount of your bid on bid sheets provided at the store.
