Everywhere you turned in Millerton on Saturday night, which hosted a town-wide "Fall for Art" party, you saw artists—from the sidewalk outside the Oakhurst Diner to the Gallery at the Moviehouse, which opened a three-month exhibition, "The Big Country," curated by the organizers of the Wassaic Project. Carol and Bob Sadlon have worked hard to make their three-screen cinema a gathering place for the community and their efforts have paid off: Hudson Valley Magazine recently named The Moviehouse the best "Hipster Hangout" in the Hudson Valley.
