SHANDAKEN CALENDAR

Yvonne Gunner, photo portraitist extraordinaire (and former wife of Kinks frontman Ray Davies) is exhibiting a suite of her work in the solo room at The Arts Upstairs, augmenting this month's "Fade to Black" show that runs through September 11 at 60 Main Street, Phoenicia, NY Info: 688-2142. Also on view this month at Cabane Gallery, at 38 Main Street, where the Music/Sound/Art exhibition is still up... and a highly enjoyable mix of works riffing on the themes of voice and Lenny Kislin recently won a Best in Show award. While looking for art, be sure and check out what's up in the yard at Mama's Boy, make your way to Hunter's Kaaterskill Gallery for its September 4 opening, and don't miss the gloriously contempoorary Gary Stephan exhibit currently up at the Kleinert/James Arts Center in Woodstock, along with the WAAM Auction Preview at the Arts Association building nearby.
