Residents and visitors alike are invited to experience art woven seamlessly into the fabric of everyday life\, all autumn long. This year’s event is thoughtfully timed to coincide with beloved local happenings—such as the annual October window painting— creating exceptionally vibrant opportunities to celebrate local creativity while amplifying visibility for both artists and local merchants. \nArt for Purchase is a public art project that reimagines storefronts as intimate stages for local and regional artists\, cultivating a rich dialogue between creativity\, commerce\, and community. As you browse shop windows or linger along the sidewalk\, you’ll discover unexpected moments of inspiration—artworks that spark reflection and delight amid the hum of daily routines. These works don’t just beautify; they invite conversation\, connection\, and a deeper appreciation for the role art\, and local artists\, play in shaping cultural identity and supporting local vitality. \nBy showcasing original art in the heart of Rye’s commercial district\, the initiative brings together artists\, business owners\, and the broader community in a shared celebration of creativity and local enterprise.

SUMMARY:Sleepy Hollow Show & Tell
DESCRIPTION:This time with a EULOGY theme\, the weird and wonderful series of neighbors+strangers sharing objects+stories\, returns to the cozy Hudson Valley Writers Center for Round 5.  \nOct. 22\, 2026\, 7 pm. Many of us have written or listened to eulogies of our dearest/queerest loved ones. You can bring segments or a summary of a eulogy you once shared at a funeral (along with an object that celebrates that person)\, or you needn’t be so literal. Eulogize your pet cat of 18 years\, your child departing for college and empty-nesting you in bittersweet ways\, a portion of your misguided youth you want to say good riddance to\, a series of bad ex-boyfriends… Anything goes but we love a theme and encourage you to have fun with it. And please don’t forget the actual object–the SHOW part of your tell is just as important. If sharing a eulogy\, no need to go verbatim… \nHow this works generally no matter the theme: Save the date\, rifle your curio cabinet for the certain something that most resonates. Come armed with said object (spectacular\, strange\, spooky\, sentimental)\, and share a 5 minute story\, open mic-style\, with your friends and neighbors in an intimate setting at the historic Hudson Valley Writers Center of Sleepy Hollow. \nFirst-come\, first-dibs for 15 folks to tell a tale–so reserve your spot now. \nTickets are only $10 for audience and participants. Bring some cash or your Venmo app for books and misc. fun artisanal stuff for sale in the slightly thematic Show & Tell pop up shop that will be sitting outside in the Shadowbox truck.

SUMMARY:American Classical Orchestra performs “Enlightenment”
DESCRIPTION:Musicians from the American Classical Orchestra are performing “Enlightenment\,” a chamber music performance of Mozart’s popular Clarinet\nQuintet\, featuring eminent historical clarinet specialist Elise Bonhivert\, and Haydn’s Quartet “The Joke.” \nEnlightenment\nIrvington Theater\nFriday\, October 23\, 2026\, at 7:30 PM\nElise Bonhivert\, basset clarinet\nEdson Scheid and Aisslinn Nosky\, violins\nJessica Troy\, viola\nSerafim Smigelskiy\, cello\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Clarinet Quintet in A Major\, K. 581\nJoseph Haydn: Quartet in E-flat Major\, Op. 33\, No. 2 (“The Joke”)\nMozart’s Clarinet Quintet was dedicated to his friend and virtuoso clarinetist Anton Stadler. It is the composer’s only piece for this instrumentation and one of the first to exploit the clarinet’s agility and range. Premiered in 1789 in Vienna\, the Quintet spotlights the clarinet’s then-untapped potential as a solo instrument and remains one of Mozart’s most beloved works. The soloist is Elise Bonhivert\, a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of the Hague\, who plays\, makes\, restores\, and repairs clarinets\, with a diverse collection of\nmore than 100 instruments of her own. In the early 1770s\, Haydn began to experiment with the string quartet\, writing witty divertimenti intended for entertainment. Around 1781\, his Op. 33 “Russian Quartets” replaced the traditional minuet movement with a scherzo. Following its publication\, the work quickly acquired the nickname Gli scherzi (The Jokes)\, with the second quartet of the Opus becoming known as Lo Scherzo (The Joke).
