SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! The Power of Process with Emerging Artist Fellow Jayna Dias
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is sold out. If you’re interested in being on the waitlist for this workshop\, please email julias@bethanyarts.org. \nThe Power of Process with Emerging Artist Fellow Jayna Dias\nDate & Time: Thursday\, August 13\, 2026 6:30-9PM\nFREE Community Program. Registration required.  \nMaintaining an artistic practice that dedicates substantial time to think ahead of making is a valuable skill that assists in enhancing art’s content. Join us for a detailed workshop designed to develop this skill by focusing on the importance of intention and planning before creating an artwork.  \nParticipants will be guided through a series of group breathing\, writing and sketching exercises created to develop finding inspiration\, and reconnecting with the self. For those with artistic experience\, this workshop will aid in sharpening your voice\, and for those with a desire to make art\, this workshop will serve as a launching point to discover it. Everyone will walk away with a deeper understanding of their drive to make and a framework for how to tap into it. Be prepared for a relaxing evening devoted to The Power of Process!  \nAll artists are welcome\, ages 16+ — any experience level\, background\, or discipline. The workshop will include a dedicated time for hands-on “making\,” so we encourage you to bring your own art supplies related to your artistic discipline and/or what you’d like to explore during this workshop. Writing materials will be provided.  \nFor questions\, accessibility requests\, or assistance with registration\, email julias@bethanyarts.org or call BAC at 914-944-4278.   \nThis event is an Artist Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather\, engage\, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partner.  \nAbout Jayna\nJayna Dias is a Senegalese-American visual artist and performer that creates works rooted in the complexity of the Black diaspora. Through drawings\, paintings\, and the body\, Dias creates visual exemplifications of the intricacy of Black identity\, Western colonialism’s intervention on it\, and how deconstruction can be a powerful tool in reasserting it. Her work investigates themes of misogynoir\, cultural hybridity\, and fetishization channeled through lived experiences\, family lineage\, and academic research. Unstable compositions\, expressionistic figures\, boisterous colors\, and found materials are all utilized in her practice to stage invitations for viewers to engage with the underrepresented themes she depicts. Above all\, Dias’ practice is about visibility. \nDias earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Art from the University of Southern California in 2024. She has exhibited around Los Angeles\, shown in Venice\, Italy during the 2024 Biennale\, and has work in the Newport Historical Society’s collection for their Center of Black History. She completed an academic research fellowship through the Frank C. Munson Institute at the Mystic Seaport Museum in 2025 and was a visiting resident at Real Time & Space in Oakland during February of 2026. Currently practicing in Los Angeles\, Dias also works as a Visitor Experience and Community Engagement Associate at the California African American Museum. \nThis fellowship is generously supported by

Rain Date: 10/4\nRegistration not required. \nTo sculpt? To draw? To talk?

Their work focuses on the abstraction of fragments of human anatomy\, which result in forms that feel alive but no longer human.  \nCatherine has participated in a number of student shows as well as a group intern show at the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center in Vermont after spending last summer as one of their intern residents. Most recently they had a Certificate Graduation Exhibition at the New York Studio School of Drawing\, Painting\, and Sculpture\, and are now excited to see how this body of work will continue to develop from working with the diverse group of artists that the Bethany Arts Community contains.   \nThis Community Program is a part of BAC’s Emerging Artist Fellowship\, generously supported by The New York Community Trust.

SUMMARY:Visualizing Music: A Wearable Art Workshop with Emerging Artist Fellow Elijah Hamilton-Wray
DESCRIPTION:Visualizing Music: A Wearable Art Workshop\nwith Emerging Artist Fellow Elijah Hamilton-Wray\nDate & Time: Tuesday October 13\, 6:30-9PM\nRegistration Encouraged. Register now to secure your spot! \nVisual art and music\, as different as they may seem\, go hand in hand. They are both mediums that provide context as to how artists view the world. This is a workshop for people who love both visual art and music and wish to explore the connection between the two.  \nYou will be led through brainstorming and sketch exercises before eventually translating your ideas onto a clothing item using fabric paints and fabric markers.   \nWe aim to bring to life a piece of music that deeply resonates with you. This workshop is meant to provide a space for building community out of a shared love of music and making. Come for some fun and a bit of guided creativity so that you can leave with a piece of wearable art that is meaningful to you and\, hopefully\, a new perspective on some of your favorite music.  \nThis event is open to all\, ages 16+. Any experience level.  \n What to bring:   \n\nBring a piece of clothing (shirt\, sweatshirt\, pants\, skirt\, etc.) \n\n\nBring a song of your choice to create with\, plus headphones and a way to listen to your own music \n\n\nBring any additional art materials that you’d like to use \n\nAdditionally\, participants will be asked to share 2-3 songs prior to the workshop that we will compile into a community playlist!  \nABOUT ELIJAH\nA Graduate of Northern Vermont University in Johnson\, VT\, Elijah received his MFA in Studio Art. With a love of comic book characters and Japanese animation from an early age\, he often emulated those particular styles. Though his work does not especially represent those genres anymore\, there is reference to it in his current practice. He tends to incorporate certain fantastical elements in his work that blend with realistic representation. His main mediums are oil and acrylic paint\, but he’s also experienced in watercolor\, printmaking\, and drawing. In 2021 he moved to Kalamazoo\, MI to work as Post-Baccalaureate of Art at his undergraduate alma mater\, Kalamazoo College\, where he guided graduating art students through their senior year and helped arrange numerous art shows and exhibitions. He now works as an artist in East Lansing\, MI. \nThis Community Program is a part of BAC’s Emerging Artist Fellowship. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather\, engage\, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partners.
