Cooperstown, located at the south end of Otsego Lake, is legendary for being a baseball village, housing the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. In addition to many baseball-centric businesses, attractions include a well-known brewery, excellent bakeries, art and history museums and a range of restaurants, offering non-baseball fans plenty of reasons to visit.

Imagine our world without art! There would be no paintings, no dance, no sculptures, no drama. How would we preserve and share our cultures without art? How would we express our innermost thoughts? How would tribal colleges and universities “feel” to us without art? How would we be able to tell our stories?
Communication among cultures can be difficult at best. When we encounter people from cultures different than our own, we see them as strangers they look, act, and speak according to their own cultural norms, values, and beliefs. Whether it takes the traditional, contemporary, or performing arts form, art helps us communicate across cultures.
At the festival, guests can discover irresistible bites and sips from around the world, enjoy captivating entertainment, explore a variety of galleries, experience clever photo-ops, and shop for art and festival keepsakes.

Last year, when I recapped 2019 and trends in Western collecting, I focused on the sales of many splendid, comprehensive holdings gathered by discriminating collectors that became available for new owners. Although the tendency continued in 2020, one part of the equation changed due to new rules imposed by COVID-19. Despite hurdles created by the pandemic, dealers and sellers alike found ways to continue through online means and other innovations. Although some of the excitement of live auctions was lost, extraordinary and varied archival materials, art and artifacts brought vicarious thrills to bidders and observers.
