Hudson Folk

An intimate look at the vibrant, thriving, and ever-expanding artistic community of the Hudson Valley Hudson Folk by Amanda Benchley and Tamara Weiss features narratives of this wide-ranging and talented group beautifully documented with photographs by Elizabeth Cecil. Hudson Folk introduces readers to these creatives and their spaces, while showcasing their art often informed by the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of the Hudson Valley. From former churches, renovated barns, and nineteenth-century farmhouses to painting and music studios, we see them at work, at home, and in the places they go “to tune in and tune out.” Above all, Hudson Folk shines a spotlight on what makes the Hudson Valley and its creative community unique at this moment of time.
