JUNE 3, 2026, GARRISON, NY- Garrison Art Center (GAC) is excited to participate in Upstate Art Weekend, a region-wide celebration of art and culture in the Hudson Valley and Catskills. GAC invites the community to join us Saturday, June 27, from 10 AM – 2 PM, for a joyful, hands-on Community Indigo Dyeing & Shibori Event and dye with us in the most captivating hue—blue! Led by teaching artist Katrin Reifeiss, participants will have the opportunity to learn a traditional Japanese Shibori technique or simply enjoy the magic of dipping textiles into indigo for the fun of it.

This event reflects Garrison Art Center’s ongoing commitment to making art accessible, engaging, and deeply rooted in community. Whether you’re refreshing a vintage linen, reviving a stained shirt, or upcycling something well-loved, the experience is about creative experimentation and shared joy. Like all of our programming, it’s designed not just to educate and inspire, but to ensure that ALL feel welcome.
