Gallery and Labyrinth - Hudson
In the Hudson area, Polly Wogg
Gallery and Labyrinth, 18522 U.S. 19 will be open during Arts Fest. With
5,000 square feet of gallery space — featuring pottery, raku, stoneware,
glassware, copper and other metal wall art, paintings and wood carvings —
the gallery is like a continuous festival of local artists.
Before or after looking through the gallery, guests can step outside for a
spiritual breath of fresh air in the stone labyrinth. The winding circular
path was made for meditative relaxation. Each rock is hand-painted by
children, artists and others, and many display quotes that add to the
contemplative atmosphere.
