Exhibition Celebration for Pattern and Decoration
Celebrating pattern and decoration from many cultures, the Hudson River Museum presents Balinese music and dance performed by the Gamelan Dharma Swara ensemble on tuned gongs similar to instruments developed between the 9th to 15th centuries. Artist Trudy "Henna Hante" holds a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts. She first discovered henna through her attraction to the spirituality of India 's dance arts and music. 3 – 4 pm

In many areas of Southeast Asia , traditional Balinese theater and dance involves enactments of Indian Hindu epics such as Ramayana and Mahabharata and Javanese legends such as the Panji tales. Dharma Swara teaches and performs a variety of these forms, from ancient dances once performed to entertain the rajas in their palaces to contemporary seven-tone works.

Adorn yourself with intricate patterns of temporary henna tattoos by Mehndi artist Trudy Pelligrino
Mehndi is a henna leaf paste that is applied to the surface of the skin. Once removed it leaves behind a vibrant dark orange-brown color that remains on the skin from several days to several weeks. The word mehndi translates to 'henna' and most often refers to the art of applying this natural colorant onto the skin in intricate patterns. Although mehndi has been used since ancient times, today it is fusing itself into American culture. Artist Trudy "Henna Hante" holds a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts. She first discovered henna through her attraction to the spirituality of India 's dance arts and music. 1 – 3 pm
