Nearby: Fredonia, NYThree Fredonia trustees devoted their board meeting reports this week to the water system saga. Most notably, Trustee Tim Mulholland said the village is eyeing a bond anticipation note to help fund its North County Water District connection project. Mulholland described a meeting about financing options for the project. Financial consultant Rick Ganci, Trustee LeeAnn Lazarony, and Treasurer Erlyssa LeBsau joined him in the meeting. The Fredonia officials gave Ganci a “financial snapshot of our village. One of the immediate priorities is reimbursing our village’s water fund for approximately $500,000 in engineering and related project expenses already incurred before our recent pause.” Mulholland continued, “We discussed whether it would make more sense to pursue financing for the entire project, or focus initially on reimbursing the water fund.

Nearby: Boston, NYAfter taking 2025 off, the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) has returned to the Park Avenue Armory with a new name and revised format for its longstanding signature fair. Opening this evening in preview, ADAA Fair runs November 13-16 with 63 participating galleries spanning historical, modern and contemporary art. That’s 12 fewer than in 2024, and that’s not the only change. This year’s event has put a notably greater emphasis on presentations by regional American galleries and newer ADAA members, with exhibitors from Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Miami, Dallas and elsewhere. “The American gallery landscape extends well beyond New York and Los Angeles,” executive director Kinsey Robb told Observer earlier this week. “Across the country, exceptional dealers are building ambitious programs, supporting artists, developing collectors and contributing significantly to their cultural communities.” The fair’s philanthropic priorities have also changed.
