The Town of Bedford will feature a day of art, shopping, live music and festivities at its inaugural Art Crawl Saturday, Oct.19. The first-of-its kind event will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the town’s three hamlets of  Katonah, Bedford Village and Bedford Hills.

More than 60 local artisans working in an array of art forms will display their work for sale. Available items include painting, pottery, photography, vintage finds, leather goods, stationery and jewelry. Arts Westchester will also provide their Mobile Art truck, providing art classes for adults.

Each hamlet will feature different artisans and live music, and local shops will be open for business, dining and drinks. For a full list of participants and festivities in each hamlet, visit bedfordartcrawl.com.

Visitors from outside the area are invited to take Metro-North trains to Katonah or Bedford Hills stations, where free transportation will be provided to the Art Crawl.

“Inspired by Katonah’s Fall Art Walk, where we typically attract hundreds of visitors, I am thrilled that Bedford is expanding the program to showcase regional talent. Inviting artisans from around the region has contributed to the success of the Katonah Art Walk and we are thrilled to expand this to a townwide event,” said Casey Carter, head of the Katonah Chamber of Commerce.

“Bedford is a magnet for creativity and talent,” commented Bedford Town Supervisor Ellen Calves. “With Caramoor, the Katonah Museum of Art and the Bedford Playhouse serving as cornerstones for the arts, our ability to now bring together local artists, exhibits and merchants is a perfect example of what makes Bedford unique and special.” 

Laurie Hilliard, Bedford business promoter, added, “We can’t wait to welcome neighbors and visitors from around the region to spend the day exploring, shopping, dining and enjoying the vibrancy of Bedford’s historic hamlets.”

The Bedford Art Crawl is a collaboration between the Town of Bedford, Destination 39.3, the Katonah Chamber of Commerce and the Bedford Village Business Association. The Recorder is the event media sponsor.
