CCoA is partnering with the New Milford Arts Commission! 
New Milford Art Festival
New Milford Green
New Milford, CT
June 27, 2026
It’s always inspiring to see how other Arts Councils operate -
and to experience artwork from different regions.
This partnership with the New Milford Commission on the Arts gives our members a wonderful opportunity
to spend the day at the New Milford Town Green and share their work with a whole new audience.
Many of the surrounding towns are “weekender” communities, where New Yorkers spend their weekends in the countryside. They come to New Milford especially for the Farmer’s Market, which opens at 9 AM. This year, the Arts Commission chose to open the festival at 9 AM as well - a smart move to make sure no potential customers slip by!
We have a booth and will have room for a few artists to display their work. There is no fee to participate. This is an outdoor show. Please write to judyrayer@crotonarts.org if you are interested: first come, first served.

Windrose on Hudson | 1 Shady Lane Farm Rd | Ossining, NY 10562
CCoA's First Annual Hudson River Spring Arts & Crafts Festival at Windrose on Hudson
was on Mother's Day weekend, May 9 and 10, and it was a huge success!
Thanks goes not only to the Windrose staff,
but also to Dennis Kirby (from the OAC) and Howard Robinson
who both worked their digital fingers to the bone making it happen!
But most of all, thank you to the 68 magnificent artists who turned the complex into
the most delightful display of creative and beautiful work we've seen ... maybe ever!
The event may be over, but the glow is strong!
Thank you to everyone who helped to make it happen,
and to the thousands of people who included it in their Mother's Day weekend plans.

2026 Annual Juried Open Call
Entry deadline: midnight, June 20, 2026
Show dates: Aug 7 - Sep 6, 2026
To drift is to let go, to surrender to a current; it is a state of being in slow motion. To drift is the serene space between leaving and arriving.
DRIFT, our annual juried open + awards exhibition asks you to explore gradual movement,
whether through physical displacement or the wandering of thoughts or ideas.
DRIFT investigates what happens when we let go.
It examines the marks left behind by that which has passed or the blurring of memory.
BAU Gallery invites artists 18+ to apply with work that relates to visual interpretations of DRIFT.
All media accepted.
