Works created for the HVPAF are painted in various conditions and times of days: direct sunlight, overcast light, nocturne conditions which encompass several types of night illumination. All of the artworks are new as they will have been painted within a specified time period, Tuesday, October 8 through the afternoon of Saturday, October 12 within an extensive area of the Hudson Valley. The finished paintings were moved indoors to Orange Hall Gallery where they are appearing in an exhibition October 13 through November 25.

All 29 participating artists have been juried into the festival and exhibit. Once again artist Chrissy Pahucki is chairing the event which is presented under the auspices of the Wallkill River School.
