Two huge events are happening in Catskill NY in October over Columbus Day Weekend. Patricia Field, the award-winning costumer of HBO's Sex and The City(series and movies), The Devil Wears Prada movie, TV Land's current hit show Younger,and many other media projects, has chosen to bring her ARTFASHION collection to Catskill the weekend of October 6-8, 2017, as a benefit for Greene County Council on the Arts (GCCA). On the same weekend, Dancers Responding to AIDS, a program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, is hosting its fifth annual Hudson Valley Dance Festival at the Historic Catskill Point. The two events masterfully do not conflict with each other, making this a phenomenal opportunity for fashion, dance, and art lovers in the New York area to enjoy a blockbuster weekend in one of the most beautiful parts of the state, especially during autumn.

Ms. Field's ARTFASHION show occurs at Joe's Garage-Catskill, a new industrial event space on Main Street and underwriter of the event on Friday, October 6, at 7 pm, and on Saturday, October 7 at 8:30 pm followed by a dance party DJ'd by world renowned DJ Tedd Patterson. Ms. Field will also host a pop-up shop at Joe's garage on Saturday, October 7 from 11 am to 7 pm, and a Q&A on Sunday, October 8 at 1pm.
