Everything You Need to Know About the Fall Art Crawl at GARNER Arts Center

The GARNER Arts Center, located in Garnerville, strives to help the members of Rockland County and surrounding communities deepen their appreciation of different art forms in an effort to create shared experiences among diverse audiences. The center’s upcoming event, The Fall Art Crawl, is co-presented with the Haiti Cultural Exchange from Brooklyn, who will be bringing musical acts of the Haitian diaspora to the event.  One of the main attractions of the event is the gallery’s current exhibition JONATHAN Demme: Collecting with Abandon, which features more than 100 works of Haitian, Island, and outsider art. 

“The GARNER Arts Center is proud to team up with the HCX to bring a greater, three-dimensional presence of Haitian art to this event through music,” says Jesse Heffler, GARNER Art Center’s programs and operations director. “These exciting concerts allow the community to experience a deeper appreciation of the vibrant Haitian culture we see depicted in the exhibition.” 

The event is following COVID-19 safety measures to keep all attendees and staff healthy and safe. Masks are required for all indoor activities. Proof of Vaccination or a recent (72 hours) negative COVID test result is required for concert entry on Saturday, Oct. 30.
