At Rokeby Estate, Tivoli Artists Gallery Celebrates 25 Years
Any arts organization that can sustain itself for a quarter of a century can be deemed a success, so the Tivoli Artists Gallery had an excellent reason to go all out at its Twilight Soiree on Saturday, July 14. The canvas surrounding the celebration was a work of art in itself. Rokeby Estate, that historical mansion of the Astor and Aldrich families (and rich in eccentricities), provided a spacious patio for a silent auction and a field for Papa’s Best Batch BBQ to set down its food truck. The mansion’s dining room offered a musical visit to Rokeby’s past, and was graced with an appearance by the Ghost of Rokeby. The art gallery received a proclamation honoring its contribution to the arts in Tivoli from New York State Senator Sue Serino, a sentiment seconded by Tivoli’s mayor Joel Griffith, who reiterated how important the gallery is to Tivoli and how it contributes to the village’s status as an arts and culture destination.
