Salmon River Fine Arts Center

Salmon River Fine Arts Center We are proud to be celebrating 25 years displaying fine art in Pulaski, NY. Support local art and join our growing art-loving community!

Our mission is to engage, educate and enrich our community through fine arts, offering gallery space, classes, workshops, and studio space that fosters artistic expression, supports local artists, and inspires the novice. The Salmon River Fine Arts Center was founded in 1991, opening its gallery doors in 1994. As a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization, we are proud to offer volunteer driven community programs, hands-on workshops, and art shows that help educate and enrich our community.

We are thrilled to start our member gallery spotlight exhibit featuring talented watercolorist Craig Anderson. Don't miss a chance to meet and chat informally with the artist on Thursday, September 3 at 4:30 pm.

Help us support this great cause: The art center and Craig are donating 100% of the sales revenue from featured art to ALS research.

“I am honored and grateful to have my work included in the gallery,” says Anderson. “As a person and artist recently diagnosed with ALS, I am desperate for a cure, like so many others, and appreciate the opportunity for the sale proceeds of this show to fund ALS research.”

SUNDAY PLANS? TAKE A LITTLE ROAD TRIP!

Join us THIS SUNDAY, August 16, from noon–5 PM for the 1st Annual Salmon River “Cake Walk” — a delicious and interesting afternoon exploring the Town of Richland and Village of Pulaski!

This isn’t a race, and it’s not really a competition. It’s an excuse to slow down, get in the car, explore someplace local, eat some dessert, and discover the incredible nonprofit organizations that make our community what it is.

For just $10, your Cake Walk ballot gives you the opportunity to visit 10 local nonprofit locations, sample their desserts, learn a little about what they do, and rate your experience in a few fun categories.

YOUR 10 STOPS:

1️⃣ Bethel Community Center
2️⃣ Westdale/Selkirk Railroad Depot
3️⃣ “Play It Forward” Scholarship at Daisy Belle Country Flowers
4️⃣ Fernwood Community Center
5️⃣ Pulaski Historical Society
6️⃣ Salmon River Fine Arts Center
7️⃣ “Grave Geeks” at Richland Cemetery
8️⃣ Rural & Migrant Ministry of Oswego County
9️⃣ DAR/SAR at Half-Shire Historical Society
🔟 Half-Shire Historical Society

You can visit the stops in ANY order!

$10 ballots are available NOW at:
• Half-Shire Historical Society
• Salmon River Fine Arts Center
• Fernwood Community Center
• Bethel Community Center
• Daisy Belle Country Flowers

Pulaski Historical Society will also have ballots available once they receive them.

Tour booklets will be available at your FIRST STOP on Sunday. We expect them to be ready tomorrow!

And when you're finished exploring, come back to Half-Shire from 5–7 PM for music, light hors d'oeuvres, and a chance to relax and visit with fellow Cake Walk travelers. 🎶

Most importantly, this event is about celebrating the amazing cultural, historical, artistic, and community organizations right here in our own backyard.

So grab a friend, your family, or someone who just really likes cake.

Take the scenic route. Discover something new. Eat some dessert. Support local nonprofits.

See you Sunday!

August 16 • Noon–5 PM
$10 per ballot
Visit 10 local nonprofit organizations — in any order!

I also made you a cleaner map/guide

I used the actual map from your booklet but turned it into a much more Facebook-friendly Map + 10 Stops graphic, with the addresses clearly listed underneath.

Download the Cake Walk Map & 10 Stops graphic

I would post the graphic first, followed immediately by the Facebook caption above. That gives people something visual to stop scrolling for, while the caption explains why they should actually go.

One other thing I'd strongly recommend: don't call it a competition in the advertising. The phrase “rate your visit” is much more inviting than “judge the desserts.” The selling point is really “a Sunday afternoon adventure + cake + discovering your community.”
