Beautify your palms with mendhi for free


Sadhna Bhargava will be in front of Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center today creating intricate designs with henna. Her appearance is part of Weekend on Main, a daylong celebration of the artistic renaissance taking place in downtown Poughkeepsie. It begins today at noon and goes until 8 p.m.

This photo by Poughkeepsie Journal photographer Kathy McLaughlin demonstrates Bhargava's handiwork (so to speak).

Read my Poughkeepsie Journal article about henna here.

During your Weekend on Main stroll, be sure to check out G.A.S., a new visual art and performance space at 196 Main St.

For lunch, I recommend a stop at The Artist's Palate, which has a farm-driven menu and features fabulous exhibition of posters from the "Jazzin', Jammin' and Jivin'" collection of Separate Cinema.
