The Peekskill BID supports downtown public markets because they improve the quality of life for Peekskillians, provide important healthy alternative food sources and introduce visitors to all that downtown has to offer – small local businesses that carry things you won’t find in big box stores, amazing restaurants and cafes, loads of talented artists and musicians, and a downtown where knowing your neighbor still matters.

Poetry Slam
2023-09-02 19:00 | XHouse
Second (I know, this event is before the other one; second in urgency, not in chronology), our September poetry slam will be on Saturday, Sept 2, which is Labor Day weekend. I’m worried that our attendance will be low, so to hopefully avert that, we’ll be having a $150 first place prize. Is that enough of a draw to counteract the holiday weekend? Guess we’ll find out!

Irvington Farmers Market (Sundays, 9am-1:30pm)
2023-09-03 09:00 - 13:30
Eat Local – and Eat Fresh at the Irvington Farmers Market!
Enjoy live music, river views, and a laid-back setting at our small-town Sunday market showcasing the best of what the Hudson Valley has to offer.

The Irvington Farmers Market provides the community with fresh, local produce direct from field to table. We support the local merchants of Irvington by increasing the number of visitors to our village, and we bring together Irvington friends and neighbors in a friendly, vibrant gathering place.

Our market is nestled against the leafy Old Croton Aqueduct trail so many of our shoppers come on foot, with their dogs. We happen to have some of the cutest pooches in the Rivertowns. And there’s a water bowl at the market tent for them, too.

Location: Main Street, School Parking Lot

Circle Up
2023-09-07 17:45
Circle Up @ X House is a new mostly-weekly poets circle happening in Nyack. We have a rotating set of facilitators and formats. Each gathering will have a sharing circle where people can read poems of their own or poems they like. We’ll also have a writing workshop, editing workshop, performance/delivery workshop, or featured poet, depending on the week.
It’ll be happening the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th Thursday of each month.
For Thursday, August 31st, our facilitator will be Bryan. The first half will be a generative/writing workshop; the second half will be a sharing circle. Bring whatever you like to write with — notebook, paper, tablet, laptop, phone, whatever. Never written a poem before? That’s okay, come anyway.
Doors will open at 5:45 PM; event will run from 6 PM to 7 PM.
Admission is on a sliding scale —
$5 general,
$3 students, seniors, and anyone who can’t swing $5 right now,
$7+ people who really like us, want to keep the series going, and have some extra money
We take cash, Cash App, Venmo, and PayPal.
The admission money is used to pay the venue, to pay guest facilitators, and to pay featured poets. Any excess beyond that will be used to make up the difference on weeks when attendance is low. Anything beyond *that* will support special programs (like our Rockland Poets High School Poetry Prize) or normal operating expenses (e.g. Meetup.com https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FMeetup.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1OGz5Gj6f_Z0S-tDgBtznziholw6KW27znn3jXLN_g9eFHz8pcJ3gnfSA&h=AT3j8JDYQacU8plavXVyRsiuSMHI-FEle62gW8YV-8RR3WPEV5Wvv67y58HwBxZHzFyR8lQw0MVfxJOA4LnAaGQrhEnOUvbCn6pI_ZuJBzKQLcmqmoABf3A4uWlVmYVF9o0ieY6FylaPpkTTGBIveGM&__tn__=q&c=AT2aVty8Bvp0mUgprn7skyV3EYCH89ug1XIng58RtoOJF435ZUgzegVU4V85zdft9I_-fADJW06kyVtopjkQxxiPLWirYaGPg-btXaWhuBf3mi1kdOuTOk7OLW0LL2fW9LEnOSifnzIizX98XEhS4y7rz2wK fee, pens, index cards, our mail box, our text reminder platform, printing flyers).

RoCA – 3 Fall Exhibits – Opening Reception
2023-09-09 13:00 - 16:00 | Rockland Center for the Arts, 27 South Greenbush Road, West Nyack, 10994
UPCOMING SEPTEMBER EXHIBITS
September 7 – 28, 2023
Opening Reception: September 9th, 1:00-4:00pm
Free to the Public
Contemporary Rockland Artists: RoCA Faculty
Emerson Gallery
RoCA celebrates its teaching artists who continually inspire students of all ages and skill levels. The exceptional faculty actively creates, teaches and exhibits throughout the Hudson Valley, and all fifty United States. They are award-winning artists, professors, grant recipients, and artists in residents who share their knowledge and talent with RoCA students. We are proud to showcase these accomplished teachers.
Abandon Places
Gallery One
K. Elevitch (she/they) builds on the themes of Abandon Places: Sights Stories and Sound. What is the feeling of home? What marks does it leave? Is home created outside us or from within? These are just some of the questions Nyack, NY based K. Elevitch explores in this exhibit. Interdisciplinary storytelling, songwriting, improvisational performance, sound design and multi-media installation art. Elevitch turns inside out the process of (be)coming home – both of self and art – revealing quiet yet powerful worlds of universal human being-ness: Intimate glimpses of longing, isolation, connection, freedom, love.
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by ArtsWestchester.”
Perfectly Imperfect
Gallery Two
RoCA’s ceramic students create work inspired by a rare Korean treasure – the ‘Moon Jar’. Originally created during the latter years of Korea’s Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), Moon Jars are primarily white porcelain vessels created from two hemispherical halves, joined together to form a spherical hollow vessel resembling a full moon. The imperfect nature of the Moon Jars makes them distinct and uniquely Korean, as no two jars are exactly alike. While the moon may or may not be referenced, the original concept from the Korean culture and tradition is revered and respected.
