""Nobody has power and there's no cell service so you can't find
anything out or be in touch," said Christina Varga, who owns and
operates the Varga Gallery in Woodstock.

During the storm, Varga's gallery had an opening she called "Irene or
Shine." Now, she's planning a benefit for Helping Hands of New York, a
non-profit aid organization, in order to raise funds for community
members who have been affected.

Although the storm has shut down many of Ulster County's arts events,
the Woodstock Songwriter Festival is still expected to go ahead as
planned this weekend. And for the most part, the local galleries are
open.

"I hope we get some people in town," Eden said. "I don't know if anybody
will be coming, but we'll be open for business.""
