Preview party on Friday, Dec. 1: The five-by-seven-inch works were donated by Hudson Valley artists for the fundraiser and will be exhibited anonymously at Byrdcliffe’s Kleinert/James Center for the Arts.

This carefully curated show of some 40 vendors offers a range of handmade goods for purchase.
We may not know the words per se, but the sound transports. This season’s musical landscape features all genres, including two Messiahs and a holiday concert by the internationally fêted jazz phenom Cécile McLorin Salvant at Bard.

Friday-Sunday, Nov. 24-26: From Acorn Hill Farm to Yankee Distillers and a hundred other vendors in between, alphabetically speaking, the fifth annual Farm & Flea Holiday Market will fill more than 9,000 square feet of floor space with handmade goods and farm-fresh food products.
