Tours of Smithville Mansion and the village will also be available and both the Smithville Mansion Annex Gallery and the Workers House Gallery will be open. The gallery is exhibiting the county’s annual juried art show of paintings, photographs, drawings and other works from artists across the county and beyond. It will also feature handmade ceramics, wearable textiles, jewelry, prints and other crafts created by artists from the Peters Valley Gallery and School of Crafts.
In addition to winter fest, both galleries are open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
