2012 Cold Spring Arts Annual Open Studio tour  


Cold Spring, 
Nelsonville & Garrison Area Artists invite art lovers into  
Their Working Environment

The success of Cold Spring Arts first open studios held in 2011 has inspired 39 artists to join in CSA's 2nd annual Open Studio event. This free weekend event has been created by artists for art lovers and collectors to expand awareness of the vibrant artistic community thriving in the inspiring Hudson Valley towns of Cold Spring and Garrison. A preview reception and group show on Friday, October 12th, from 5 to 8 p.m. will kick off the event. Artists will open their spaces to the public from 12 pm to 6 pm on Saturday, October 13th and Sunday, October 14th, 2012. 
___________________________________________________ 
The group show, featuring one work from each artist, will open at Philipstown.info at 69 Main St., Cold Spring.  Representing a diverse range of styles and media, this collection will give visitors the opportunity to choreograph their weekend tour so that they can identify and then visit with the artists that interest them, in the studios where their work is created. 

Maps posted on www.coldspringarts.com will highlight the location of all open studios and will be available at various locations in the village of Cold Spring, including Gallery 66 NY at 66 Main, Houlihan Lawrence at 60 Main Street, the Cold Spring Visitor's Center at the end of Main Street and Garrison Art Center in Garrison. Visitors commuting by Metro-North can choose a walking tour within the village of Cold Spring, where over a dozen artists' studios will be opened to the public; if traveling by car, visitors can map out a drive to seek out the artists who live in the Hudson Valley towns of Garrison and Cold Spring.  

Visitors will have access to local artists in relaxed and informal settings, witnessing the creative process first-hand. Fused Glass artist and founder of Cold Spring Arts and ArtFull Living, Barbara Galazzo understands this: "By going into a studio, viewers get to see what goes on behind closed doors...how the artist's creativity stirs them into action...and the processes involved in getting to the finished product".   The open studio format invites meaningful dialogue between artist and viewer. Whether a collector or an art lover, this is a unique opportunity to discover new talent at the source and purchase works directly from the artist's inventory. Distinct from the often impersonal and intimidating gallery setting, this personal relationship with the artists brings another layer of meaning to any artwork that you choose to live with. 

Van Brunt Projects @ The Living Room among works being shown includes the Starn Brothers; 

a rarely seen 18-foot wood-fired Anagama-Norborigama Japanese-style kiln built by Tony Moore; Susan English's luminous poured paintings;

Carla Goldberg's I Remember series, in which she casts items from her childhood in a 3-dimensional translucent resin, fixing the memory in time; 
Thomas Huber's juxtaposition of images, built up to create a rich, intriguing surface; 
Jaanika Peerna's stunning nature-inspired abstract drawings and installations; 
Sheilah Rechtschaffer's Green in Vietnam series of abstracted and colorful pastel landscapes; 
Julie Tooth's paintings which reference the myriad influences affecting us at all times; 
Lesli Uribe's paintings which encompass a global language introducing, perhaps subliminally, the idea that we are all creators. And this is just a small sampling.

The Cold Spring and Garrison 2nd Annual Open Studio event occurs at the beginning of fall foliage season - an opportune moment for visitors to experience the natural beauty that has long attracted artists to the Hudson Valley region. The area will also be host to other exciting art events on the same weekend, including "CURRENT 2012", a sculpture exhibition presented by Garrison Art Center on the grounds of Boscobel House and Gardens; Collaborative Concepts @ Saunders Farm, a sculpture exhibition of over 70 sculptures; both located in Garrison, NYand The ArtFull Living Designer Show House showcasing 37 Hudson Valley artists works and collaboration with 7 interior designers.

RED HOOK ? NEW YORK ? read this email sent by KENTLER INTERNATIONAL DRAWING SPACE Robert Aitchison STATE OF EMERGENCY: PORTRAITS FROM THE PANDEMIC November 6 - December 12, 2021 Join us for the Opening Reception: Saturday, November 6, 4-6pm Artist's Talk: December 5, 4pm (Proof of Vaccine & Masks Required, observing pandemic precautions) Kentler International Drawing Space is pleased to present State of Emergency: Portraits from the Pandemic, a solo exhibition of new work on paper by Brooklyn-based artist Robert Aitchison. This body of work explores complex notions of presence, engagement and isolation in the era of Covid. Beginning in March 2020, Aitchison utilized video chat platforms to make hundreds of sketches of close friends. The resulting portrait series is at once vibrant and introspective. His subjects are jarringly foregrounded and many present with duplicate or askew facial features. These distortions mirror the glitchy, interrupted and delayed experienc...
