The Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art will host a Free Arts Day on Sunday December 7th, 2008 from 12:00-6:00pm. Arts lovers of all ages will be welcomed by open doors at cultural sites throughout the county on the Westchester Arts Council's eighth annual Free Arts Day.

HVCCA will offer free admission all day and will present the following events:
