SUMMARY:“The Flock: Chapter 6” Open Studio Showing with Skyla Schreter Dance 
DESCRIPTION:“The Flock: Chapter 6” Open Studio Showing with Skyla Schreter Dance\nDate & Time: Saturday\, October 24\, 2026\, 2-3PM\nFREE! Community Program. Registration encouraged.   \nSkyla Schreter Dance (SSD) returns to Bethany Arts Community for their second artist in residence\, creating the final chapter of their original\, narrative dance work\, “The Flock.” Join SSD at Bethany Arts Community for a behind-the-scenes look into the creation process of “The Flock.” This informal studio showing will begin with an introduction to the larger project\, followed by a short open rehearsal with the dancers working through the newly-created choreographic material. At the end of the showing\, SSD will present a premiere of the “first draft” of Chapter 6 – the 13-minute final chapter in the story; created entirely during the company’s Artist Residency at Bethany Arts Community. \nChoreographer & Artistic Director: Skyla Schreter\nRehearsal Director: Craig Wasserman\nDancers: Hannah Straney\, Piper Dye\, Cristina Moya-Palacios\, Kimie Parker\, Kristina Desjardins\, Mikayla Lambert\, Emily Mistretta  \nAbout “The Flock”\n“The Flock” is an original narrative dance work from Hudson Valley-based dance company Skyla Schreter Dance. As a powerful synthesis of artistic mediums and disciplines\, and inspired by the best-selling novella “Jonathan Livingston Seagull\,” “The Flock” tells the story of a restless young seagull named Jo\, who dreams and strives to transcend the limitations imposed upon her by the rigid traditions of her home Flock.  In her relentless quest to perfect her ability of flight and turn it into an art form and more than just a means to consume\, she breaks with both her family and The Flock\, and is banished and exiled for her transgressions. Rather than limiting her\, this opens up a whole new world of self-exploration and artistry\, where Jo is free to learn and grow\, build a new community rooted in her values\, and live the life she chooses for herself.  “The Flock” is currently mid-development\, and includes both live dance and film elements; including a short film “Jo’s Dream” filmed on Bannerman Island in the Hudson River\, in partnership with the Bannerman Castle Trust.  \nAbout Skyla Schreter Dance\nSkyla Schreter Dance combines classical ballet with a contemporary aesthetic to convey modern-day stories and perspectives. Taking an inter-disciplinary approach\, our work often integrates film\, visual art and musical collaboration to expand the common boundaries of dance as a presentational art form\, while maintaining the body as the primary instrument for creation and expression. Founded and led by choreographer and director Skyla Schreter\, SSD is a collective of dancers\, designers and collaborators working across professional dance\, music and visual arts to connect and elevate our shared human experience through creation.  \nTo support or learn more about the project\, and to keep up with Skyla Schreter Dance\, visit: https://www.skylaschreterdance.com/projects/the-flock

SUMMARY:An Evening of Music by BAC Artist-in-Residence Michelle Zarco - In Partnership with Musicambia
DESCRIPTION:An Evening of Music by Michelle Zarco\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Michelle Zarco\nIn partnership with Musicambia \nDate & Time: Monday\, October 5\, 2026 7PM\nFREE Community Program. Registration encouraged\, walk-ins welcome until we reach capacity. \nJoin BAC Artist-in-Residence Michelle Zarco for an evening of music\, in partnership with Musicambia.   \nThis concert will be the premiere of a new set of original music by flutist\, singer and songwriter Michelle Zarco\, written and arranged during her residency at Bethany Arts Community. The 50 minute program will be performed with a small chamber music ensemble\, followed by a 15-20 minute Q&A with the artists.  \nMichelle will be joined by a guest alumni from Musicambia for 2 to 3 songs of their own\, arranged by Michelle. \nA NOTE FROM MICHELLE\nFor most of my career\, I’ve supported other people’s artistic work—as a teaching artist\, session musician\, songwriter\, an artist manager for seven years\, and now as a career and brand consultant. It always felt safest and easiest to stay on the sidelines of artistic work\, channeling my own creativity through someone else\, without the personal risk of being seen. \nThis is in part because choosing music as a career can be a double-edged sword. The pressure of making it your livelihood can sap the joy and nourishment it’s supposed to give you as an artist. Teaching songwriting workshops in prisons through Musicambia is what changed that for me. Watching students write and perform their own songs\, often for the first time\, and seeing deep wells of passion\, creativity\, courage and resilience\, broke through the fog and pushed me to start cultivating and writing my own music again. \nThis concert is the result. These songs are personal and reflective\, influenced by my favorite artists in R&B\, soul\, and world music\, and arranged for a small chamber ensemble that reflects my classical training. It feels fitting that this residency and concert are a culmination of this shift in my artistic practice\, presented in partnership with Musicambia\, with one of their alumni joining me on stage. \nABOUT MUSICAMBIA\nMusicambia (“music” + “change”) helps people in prison and jail write\, play\, and perform music\, cultivating collaborative communities that benefit the health and well-being of everyone involved. Musicambia’s Flagship Program\, which began at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in 2014\, meets biweekly from September to June. Thirty incarcerated participants attend morning and afternoon classes for 4 hours\, fostering teamwork\, empathy\, and a sense of responsibility to themselves as well as to their fellow students. Musicambia also has programs at Bedford Hills\, Fishkill\, and Eastern Correctional Facilities in New York\, and in Kansas and California. Musicambia annually reaches 140 incarcerated participants\, as well as audiences of over 200 incarcerated people for concerts. Previously\, the organization worked in Indiana and South Carolina: all told\, Musicambia has created programs in 12 different facilities.  \nMusicambia’s Teaching Artists hold positions in the Attacca Quartet and Imani Winds\, and have taught at Juilliard\, Curtis\, Princeton\, and Peabody. They have won GRAMMY awards\, and collaborated with Pulitzer- Prize winners and pop-stars like Prince. Their musical backgrounds span Western classical\, jazz\, hip-hop\, and popular genres\, as well as Indian classical ragas.  \nLearn more about Musicambia here: https://www.musicambia.org/  \nABOUT MICHELLE\nMichelle is a classically trained flutist based in NYC\, with a musical practice spanning classical\, world\, and pop idioms. She also sings\, plays piano\, and percussion. In 2024 she founded Orchestra Elena\, whose debut performance at Brooklyn Bridge Park was broadcast live on WNYC. She teaches music and songwriting inside correctional facilities through Musicambia\, and draws on seven years in classical artist management at Colbert Artists Management to advise musicians on branding and career strategy\, most recently as the selected consulting artist for Chamber Music America’s Ensemble Forward grant. Born in the Philippines and raised in the U.S.\, she is currently training to become a healer through craniosacral therapy\, energy work\, and herbalism\, and feels most grounded spending time outdoors in nature. She believes in the power of healing through creativity\, self expression\, and self empowerment\, and hopes to help the people around her become healthier and more fully themselves.\n \nThis Community Program is a part of BAC’s Annual Fall Multidisciplinary Residency. 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.  \nLearn more about this year’s Fall Multidisciplinary Residency here! \nBAC’s 2026 Fall Multidisciplinary Residency is made possible with support from New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature\, Westchester County Board of Legislators\, ArtsWestchester and Westchester County Government.

SUMMARY:The Dungan Garden Open Installation with BAC Artist-in-Residence Yanmei Jiang
DESCRIPTION:The Dungan Garden Open Installation: Inside the Somatic & Geological Process  with BAC Artist-in-Residence Yanmei Jiang \nDate & Time: Saturday October 3\, 11:30AM-1:30PM (during ARToberfest!) Rain Date: 10/4\nRegistration not required.\n \nJoin BAC Artist-in-Residence Yanmei Jiang for The Dungan Garden: Inside the Somatic & Geological Process\, an Open Installation at BAC’s ARToberfest.   \nVisitors will be invited for a walkthrough of the three-dimensional canvas installation\, where she will introduce the creative process behind the work and discuss the relationship between body\, landscape\, and material. Engage in informal conversation and get to know Yanmei’s work. Free and open to all.  \n——  \nThe Dungan Garden series explores how a landscape\, specifically a lotus pond\, can be expressed through the simplest possible gesture: the horizontal stroke inspired by Chinese calligraphy\, and the dripping guided by gravity.   \nDuring Yanmei’s residency\, she is developing a triptych paintings installation. Displayed individually\, the three panels will form a three-dimensional spatial installation that can be experienced within a studio or public space.  \n“’Dungan’ means slower sensation and heightened awareness of time. For me\, this is not a state of numbness\, but a way of slowing down in order to become more attentive to subtle changes in the body\, nature\, and time. Through repeated but never identical horizontal gestures\, I explore how a simple mark can carry movement\, breath\, memory\, and the experience presence.”  \nFor this site-responsive work\, I will be inspired by the colors and visual qualities of the autumn woods at Bethany as a reference\, allowing the local landscape to inform the development of the painting. The lotus is deeply embedded in East Asian artistic traditions\, while water has long functioned as a space of reflection\, transformation\, and impermanence. I am interested in bringing this cultural image into dialogue with the cultural living landscape of Bethany.”  \n\nABOUT YANMEI\nYanmei Jiang is a New York-based visual artist whose practice explores the concept of the “body as archive\,” developing embodied memory through large-scale abstract painting rooted in muscle memory. Spanning site-responsive abstract painting\, spatial installations\, and photography\, her work has been exhibited internationally\, including solo exhibitions at Gallery 456 (New York) and Ray Art Center (Shanghai). She holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts (2023) and has participated in residencies at the AnkhLave Arts Residency on Governors Island (2025) and ChaShaMa (2023). Deeply engaged with place and materiality\, her painting practice utilizes whole-body movement and unprimed canvases to create suspended spatial environments\, inviting viewers into an immersive experience and a slow pace of time. \nThis Community Program is a part of BAC’s Annual Fall Multidisciplinary Residency. 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.  \nLearn more about this year’s Fall Multidisciplinary Residency here! \nBAC’s 2026 Fall Multidisciplinary Residency is made possible with support from New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature\, Westchester County Board of Legislators\, ArtsWestchester and Westchester County Government.

The tapestry project addresses the problems of single-use plastics and how they burden nature and people. The tapestries are inspired by traditional Finnish wool rugs called ryas.

SUMMARY:"Home Is Where The Art Is" - Peter Leeds - Studio Artist Showcase
DESCRIPTION:“Home Is Where The Art Is”\nPeter Leeds\nStudio Artist Showcase\nSeptember 1 – October 27\, 2025\nReception (in tandem with opening for “I’M SCARED TOO”): Friday\, October 10\, 2025 6-8PM\nGALLERY HOURS: Mon – Fri 10AM – 4PM \n\n\n\nPeter Leeds is a contemporary traditional painter based in Westchester\, NY\, whose work is rooted in realism and infused with heartfelt storytelling. Born and raised in suburban Long Island in the 1980s\, Peter grew up in a blue-collar household where education\, hard work\, and family values shaped his life. His father\, an elementary school teacher\, and his mother\, an emergency room nurse\, surrounded him with adventure books of N.C. Wyeth and the art of Andrew Wyeth and Jamie Wyeth. These vivid images of pirates from ‘Treasure Island’\, cloaked characters from ‘Robin Hood’\, and pastoral landscapes sparked his imagination and inspired him to see art as a way to connect generations. \n\n\n\nPeter earned his BFA from SUNY Cortland College and his MFA in anatomical drawing and figurative painting from the New York Academy of Art. He works in oil\, watercolor\, acrylic\, and pencil\, drawing on Old Masters’ techniques\, literature\, and nature to create a visual journal of his life. His personal art often centers on family and friends\, capturing the romance of everyday moments with intimacy and depth. \nIn addition to his studio work\, Peter is known for his large-scale mural commissions in Westchester and New York City. While his public projects are driven by clients\, his private paintings remain deeply personal\, reflecting his belief in the power of art to preserve shared experiences and strengthen bonds. You can also find him working part time at Captain Lawrence Brewing giving tours and promoting the newest beers in the market\, another passion he has as a Beer Sommelier. \n“My images\,” Leeds says\, “are a visual journal of a time in our life that is sometimes long gone.” \nWHY BETHANY\nPeter has been part of the Bethany Arts Community since 2019\, where his journey has expanded far beyond his studio practice. “I’ve been brought into this amazing community not fully realizing how personally important it is for my journey in life\,” he reflects. Within Bethany\, he has been an instructor\, student\, mentor\, guidance counselor\, and even philosopher—roles that have deepened his art and his relationships. \nAs an instructor\, he has taught Painting 101\, Portrait from a Photo\, Creative Drawing\, and the Fundamentals of Anatomical Drawing. Peter takes special pride in hosting his monthly Drink and Draw sessions\, which have fostered a culture of artistic camaraderie and creative exchange. \n“Inspiring others inspires me the most\,” he says. “Bethany has become a place where art is not just created\, but shared\, lived\, and celebrated.” \nFeatured Image: “The Weight of Growing Between Childhood and Change” by Peter Leeds
