We are once again participating in the City of New Rochelle’s Council on the Arts annual ArtsFest, a weekend long festival highlighting the best the area has to offer. Since we think that Charles Fazzino’s studio is certainly one of the VERY BEST things in New Rochelle, we’re opening our doors to the public!
A Look at Everything ArtsFest Has to Offer
This year, the city will come alive with art exhibits, live music, great food, incredible performances, shopping, and tours of artists’ studios throughout the downtown area for an entire weekend! Each day, there will be something different to enjoy.
We will kick things off on Friday, September 23rd with a VIP Collectors Club Reception from 6pm – 9pm at our Fazzino Studios. If you’re reading this, then you ARE a VIP COLLECTOR and are welcome to join us on Friday evening. Please RSVP to Grace at gbulfamante@fazzino.com if you would like to attend.
