July Art Exhibit: “India,” The Photography of Lou Jawitz

Catskill-area photographer Louis Jawitz is returning to The Old Stone House of Hasbrouck this July with yet another exquisite collection of his international images.

The show gets underway with an opening-day public reception on Sunday, July 7th, from 2-4 pm, and runs throughout the month with viewings by appointment.
