What the World Needs Now is...

And art, too. Fortunately, there will be plenty of both at the new exhibition "For the Love of Art" which open this Sunday in Peekskill. The show marks the 10th anniversary of Yamet Arts, and is a collaboration between the gallery and The Hat Factory, the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, and a number of other players in the Hudson Valley art scene. Occupying over 7,000 square feet of the Hat Factory, the show features works by masters such as Picasso, Rembrandt, and Warhol, as well as those by a large number of contemporary Hudson Valley artists. According to the New York Times, visitors will experience "a confluence of contrasts" at the exhibition, which includes works that "run the gamut from painting, drawing, sculpture and photography to installations, collage and video." Check out the website for details on the participating artists. The opening reception is from 2:00 to 5:00 on Sunday, and the exhibition runs through March 15. For the Love of Art
