This past May, the Hudson Valley played host to a truly magical evening—an immersive celebration of art, music, and connection, curated by visionary experiential artist Amanda Russo Rubman. At the heart of it all: ONE, Amanda’s award-winning sculpture, took center stage at Friends and Neighbors in Stone Ridge, NY.

Friends and Neighbors Dinner Vibe
The event marked more than an exceptional art exhibition and community gathering—it also introduced the region to Friends and Neighbors, a stunning new event space by the creative minds behind Audrey’s Farmhouse. This was truly an event filled with gorgeous surroundings, inspired conversation, and a gathering of community rooted in creativity.
And the best part? It was all for a good cause—proceeds from the evening went to support the Woodstock School of Art, continuing the region’s rich legacy of artistic expression.
