50 YEARS OF FINE ART AND FINE CRAFTS

***
***
In 1961, the Friends of the North Castle Public Library,
including Charles Elson, Lucille Bruno and Jean West,
decided to try an outdoor art exhibition as a way to raise funds for the library.
With only a handful of artists showing their work
on the lawn of the Armonk Methodist Church bordering Main Street,
the Armonk Outdoor Art Show was born.
 The show soon outgrew the churchyard and
was relocated to the parking lot in front of the library.
***
The Show is 1/4 mile from Exits 3/3S off Route I-684, 10 miles north of I-287 and I-95, 5 miles from the Merritt and Hutchinson Parkways, 20 minutes from the Tappan Zee Bridge (see where we are on the map for traveling directions). Parking is free and within walking distance. Food is available for purchase at the Show.
