WASSAIC — On Saturday, July 20, the Wassaic Project will participate in the Upstate Art Weekend (UPAW).

UPAW takes place in ten different counties in the Catskills and Hudson Valley from Thursday, July 18-Sunday, July 21. This year the event has expanded to over 145 participants, including local art organizations, galleries, museums, temporary exhibits and other creative projects.

From noon until midnight on Saturday, people of all ages can visit the Wassaic Project and see all of the participating artists. Maxon Mills, Gridley Chapel lawn, Luther Barn and The Lantern will be hosting art pieces.

At Maxon Mills visitors can “Arm Wrestle 4 A Popsicle” with Katie Peck. “Rainbow Trout invites viewers to engage in an arm-wrestling challenge, with the opportunity to win a playfully flavored trout-inspired popsicle if defeated,” the Wassaic Project’s website says.

There will be a schedule of times on https://www.wassaicproject.org/ to see and reserve space for certain activities.
