Thu, Sep 17 · All day

Rye Free Reading Room · Rye

Susan Deshkensky is a fiber and fabric artist. Her designs and quilts have been published in thirty magazines. Susan is an award winning quilter on both a national and regional level. Susan is a Certified instructor for Quiltworx and an Alumni Ambassador for Lumin Fabrics/Island Batik. She loves to make t-shirt and memory quilts for customers. Susan's new found passion is long arm quilting. It is a joy to design, create and longarm your individual works without outside assistance. Art For Purchase This fall, The Rye Arts Center once again transforms Purchase Street in Downtown Rye into an open-air art experience. This year's edition runs longer than ever before, stretching from September 17th through October 29th, with a special opening reception planned for the evening of the 17th. Residents and visitors alike are invited to experience art woven seamlessly into the fabric of everyday life, all autumn long.

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. By 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.
