Sponsored by the Cazenovia Area Community Development Association, (CACDA), this seventh annual Art Trail includes the area’s finest artists, several of whom have won awards, working in their home studios or other “art hub” settings during the event. The 2018 Art Trail includes a few studios within walking distance in the historic village, while other studios may be reached by car.
New this year, bicycle routes for all ability levels are available on the website for anyone wishing to explore the trail by bike. Artists are prepared to hold any artwork purchased by bikers so they can pick it up at a later date.
The event is free and open to the public.
Special points of interest along the 2018 Art Trail include the Cazenovia Farmer’s Market, Lorenzo State Historic Site and Pompey Historical Society. Visitors are also encouraged to visit the many other shops and restaurants in the Cazenovia area.
Maps of the Art Trail will be available at all artists’ locations on the days of the event, including the Gallery at Reisman Hall at 6 Sullivan Street where visitors can also stop to get more information, or they can be downloaded from the Art Trail website, art-trail.org.
