Gardiner Blossoms With Art Doors: GOST Artists Create Public Art from Old Doors

BEACON, N.Y. - May 15, 2018 - PRLog -- Artists and craftspeople in Gardiner are working overtime. Not only have they planned their annual Gardiner Open Studio Tour (GOST) June 9-10, 2018 throughout the local art community in Gardiner, NY., but now they're also dolling up their town with painted doors.

Leading up to the GOST TOUR, this year's artists have painted old doors with bright colors, fun and unexpected images, and surprise views of all sorts. The GOST DOORS will first be on display at the Gardiner Cupcake Festival on May 19th, 2018 from 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm.

Then, from May 20th to June 11th, the GOST DOORS will pop up along the streets of Gardiner, inviting locals and visitors to 'GO BEHIND THE DOORS' on the weekend of the GOST TOUR (June 9-10). Many a cheerful selfie will record these temporary works of public art.

This year's tour will feature 22 Artists offering new work and new experiences. Preview their work, their bios, the tour map, and the local sponsors at http://www.GardinerOpenStudioTour.com.
