Each year, the Fall for Art Committee of the Jewish Federation of Ulster County donates a portion of the event’s proceeds to a Hudson Valley arts program or organization. The 2013 recipient is the “Arts with a Heart” program of the Alzheimer’s Association — Hudson Valley/Rockland/Westchester, NY Chapter. The program will take place at the Rosendale, New York Recreation Center, and will consist of the following three 1 ½-hour arts workshops for people with early stage Alzheimer’s and their caregivers: October 13th, Collage with visual artist Janet Jappen; October 27, Dance with Vanaver Caravan; and November 10th, Music with Mt. Tremper musician Melody Newcombe. The “Arts with a Heart” program will be a first of its kind in Ulster County and will be offered free of charge to participants.
