Come see what we’re about … Join us for an Informational Tour of Safe Harbors of the Hudson!
Safe Harbors of the Hudson, a large scale redevelopment project in the City of Newburgh that combines housing and the arts, is hosting monthly informational tours. The next scheduled tour will be held on Tuesday, April 11th at 9 a.m.
Safe Harbors, whose mission is transforming lives and building communities through housing and the arts, purchased the old Hotel Newburgh in 2002 and turned the blighted eyesore into the Cornerstone Residence. Named Supportive Housing Network of New York’s “Residence of the Year” in 2007, the Cornerstone is home to 128 adults including the formerly homeless, veterans, those living with mental health diagnoses, artists and low income working adults in need of affordable housing. The project also includes the Safe Harbors of the Hudson Ann Street Gallery, a contemporary arts venue, the Lobby at the Ritz, live performing arts space and the newest project Safe Harbors Green.

Basic Handling and Care of the Airbrush
To most artists, airbrush maintenance basically means keeping the airbrush clean so that paint flow is uninterrupted. But another aspect of maintaining the airbrush deals with proper handling and care to prevent damaging the components of this highly sensitive tool.
Know Your Airbrush Terms
Dual action (also called double action) refers to an airbrush where the artist first depresses the trigger for air and, while the trigger is depressed, pulls back on it to release paint.
Fun and Games Airbrushing Characters on Textiles
Today I am enlisting the help of one of my littlest fans to create a shirt with his favorite game character on it. Next time you are airbrushing for fun, grab one of your kids or nephews, nieces, grandkids, etc. Kids love to help and watch people airbrush.
Airbrushing Water-Based Artist Colors
Gouache was originally the name of a painting technique using an opaque watercolor. Gouache is made of the same materials as transparent watercolor with the addition of precipitated chalk, which makes it opaque.
Airbrush Painting on Gessobord
Although Gessobord is ready to use, some artists may elect to re-gesso the surface for their own particular purpose–high impasto, eggshell smoothness, etc.
