What better way to spend two hours on a rainy Sunday than at the New Rochelle ArtsFest? The Giants were flailing miserably, really bad, and we didn’t want to go far. Plus it was all free, and, who knew? Free snacks!
We only saw the trolley from a distance. But is was around town and people were on it.
We went first to the Media Lofts. I didn’t know that so many artists had workspaces and galleries in New Rochelle. Some of them live in coops attached to their galleries, pretty cool, if you are into that type of thing.
Here are some photos:

Inside:
Inside the Lofts Building was very industrial, metal, wood floors, high ceilings.
This was our favorite artist. Very realistic of places in the Bronx and even garbage dumps. Also, abandoned railroads in bright sunlight.

Then we went to the Iona Gallery where the faculty were featured.
The artist/teacher, Robin Tedesco, was our favorite. She has a nice website here: http://www.robintedesco.com/gallery.aspx
