Taking advantage of New Rochelle’s beautiful waterfront, Incoming Tide Entertainment, LLC is presenting a full season of art, music, family events, workshops and tours of the new Sculpture Garden which will be on site for the duration of the summer.

The first Fine Arts and Crafts Festival on June 16th, from 10am to 4pm, at Wildcliff Manor, 44 Wildcliff Road, New Rochelle, NY 10805, will be accompanied by Yoga demonstrations, pop- up Pastel workshops, live music featuring, among others, Westchester Harp Ensemble. Artist/craftsmen will be exhibiting and selling their work throughout the entire day. Visitors will be treated to a range of fine arts, jewelry, ceramics, metal work, wood and eclectic gift items. At 2:30 there will be an opportunity to meet and speak with the Sculptors about their inspiration and creative process. Rain date is scheduled for Sunday, June 17th 10am-4m. Additional Fairs are scheduled for July 14th and August 11th.

Eric Woodlin, president of Incoming Tide Entertainment and founder of the PAC House Theater, passionately says “I have been dreaming of transforming the grounds of Wildcliff into a ‘Tanglewood’ on the New Rochelle shoreline. To create a place to go every weekend and be able to experience a full range of arts and entertainment has long been my mission and I am excited to see it begin to be realized.” Judith Weber, a ceramic artist and the founder of Media Loft, the only Artist in Residence Condominium in Westchester County, has joined Eric in the summer project. She shares her hopes “for the arts to become an almost every day event in New Rochelle.” Judith has worked many years to highlight the cultural richness of the New Rochelle community and is excited to help to bring people, local and out of the area, to Wildcliff this summer. Eric and Judith met through their combined interest and together, as a team, plan to build the summer fare at Wildcliff.

The public is invited to bring family and friends to this Free event. Bring your picnic, relax, shop and play!
