She and Peter Calo have enjoyed a 5-year musical partnership paying tribute to some of the great folk singers of our time. She still enjoys singing in the church choir and occasionally lending her backup vocals to some of her favorite musicians. Anne is also a photographer\, selling her work locally at Hudson Valley Books for Humanity and here at Bethany Arts Community where she has found her artistic home as a studio artist and member of the Bethany family. Anne will be performing in November at Ossining’s Westchester Collaborative Theater (wctheater.org) as part of a “Living Music Event” combining live theater and music happening the weekends of November 11 & 18. You can visit her website at (AnneorAnnie.com) to see some of her work and find out where to connect with her on social media to find out where she’ll be performing next. \nPeter Calo\nPeter has performed and/or recorded with Carly Simon\, Dionne Warwick\, Queen Latifah\, Willie Nelson\, Hall and Oates\, Sophie B. Hawkins\, Jimmy Webb\, Kris Kristofferson\, Leonard Bernstein\, Lesley Gore\, Joel Grey\, The Platters\, and more.

The band regularly performs and interprets the music of many influential artists\, such as Ben Harper\, Paul Simon\, Jerry Garcia\, Bob Dylan\, Neil Young\, Taj Mahal\, The Band and The Grateful Dead\, among countless others. \nCornbread Jam was formed with the goal of bringing fun\, lively and intimate “living room jams” to venues far and wide. Gregg Annuziata and Brad King founded the band in 2013. The two guitarists/singers met in the early 1990s while attending the State University of New York at New Paltz. For many years they played house parties or around campfires — just for fun and the enjoyment of bringing people together through music. Roughly five years ago\, a great upright bass player\, Neil Jacobson\, joined the band. Countless gigs later\, their journey continues…

SUMMARY:ARToberFest: Community Crazy Quilt with Susan Lenz
DESCRIPTION:Title: Community Crazy Quilt with Susan Lenz\nDate & Time: At ARToberFest\, Saturday\, October 8\, 2023 10:30AM – 4:30PM \nCome stitch with fiber artist Susan Lenz! Vintage household linens\, lace\, and other seemingly neglected old textiles will be hand-stitched together and made into a contemporary crazy quilt.  This activity is meant to give “second life” to the materials and also serve as an opportunity to share stories from ancestor stitchers and quilters.  No experience is needed.   \nAbout Susan\nGenerally using needle and thread for self-expression\, I work to address social\, environmental\, and cultural issues. I am also a storyteller whose work evokes past narratives with open-ended possibilities. I regard art-making as a conversation with viewers and catalyst for diverse dialogue. My immersive installations include a socioeconomic subtext\, cleverly embedded in the space but related to waning memories and personal mortality. Through found objects\, especially vintage garments\, comes a powerful human presence full of silent longing and disappointment but also hope for humanity. I regularly indulge my passion for book arts and altering anonymous photographs. My artwork has appeared in national publications\, juried exhibitions\, and at fine craft shows including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Craft Shows. I have been featured on art quilting television programs and on South Carolina ETV’s Palmetto Scene. My work is in the permanent collection of the Textile Museum in Washington\, DC and the McKissick Museum. \nThis event is a Fall Multidisciplinary 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.

SUMMARY:ARToberFest: Hand-Crafted Memory Books with Jennella Young
DESCRIPTION:Title: Hand-Crafted Memory Books with BAC Artist-in-Residence Jennella Young\nDate & Time: At ARToberFest\, Saturday\, October 8\, 2023 12PM – 3PM\n \nThe goal of the workshop will be to create a space for participants to explore and share the stories\, recipes\, and memories that make us feel most like home.  These memories and sentiments will be written and drawn into handmade books which we will create during the workshop.  \nAbout Jennella\nJennella Young is a painter\, photographer\, mixed media and book artist who lives and works in Brooklyn. She is deeply committed to educational equity and embedding arts\, cultural\, and community knowledge into the everyday experiences of the young people she works with. \nThe main subject of Young’s current work is portraiture – primarily of Black and Brown women from archival photos. Painting images of women found throughout time allows her to create a meditative space and portal to bring these women’s forgotten or dismissed stories back into our plane of existence. Young’s art-making process consists of watercolor\, acrylic\, ink\, pastel\, bookmaking\, and journaling. \nThis event is a Fall Multidisciplinary 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.

SUMMARY:ARToberFest: The ATTIE Project Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Title: The ATTIE Project Workshop\nDate & Time: At ARToberFest! Saturday\, October 8\, 2023 12 – 4PM \nThe ATTIE Project workshop is set to ignite the creative spirit of Ossining’s community during ARToberfest. Guided by ATTIE’s transformative principles\, artist Perry Easton\, invites festival-goers to embark on a journey of self-expression by painting abstract clocks. This interactive workshop transcends traditional art forms\, encouraging participants to infuse their creations with imagination and individuality.  \nAs the town of Ossining comes alive with art and culture\, The ATTIE Project provides a platform for residents and visitors alike to engage in a dialogue about the transformative power of creativity. This interactive workshop serves as a catalyst for conversations about art’s role in our lives\, inspiring individuals to unlock their artistic potential and explore new dimensions of self-expression.  \nJoin us at ARToberfest in Ossining and be a part of The ATTIE Project’s mission to celebrate creativity\, bridge communities\, and leave an indelible mark on the canvas of imagination. Discover the magic that happens when art meets innovation\, and let your artistic spirit soar. \nAbout Perry\nThrough his artwork\, Perry Easton is spreading a positive message of hope and empowerment. His art is a reflection of his personal philosophy that life is precious and every moment counts. By creating works that speak to the universal themes of time\, tradition\, and mental health\, Perry is making a powerful statement about the importance of taking care of ourselves and each other. His art is a reminder to slow down\, take a deep breath\, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us all. \nWhat sets Perry apart from other artists is his use of time as a medium in his artwork. Through his “Timeless Theory” and “Alignment Theory\,” Perry creates abstract faces that are bursting with color and emotion. Each of his pieces is a message of mental wealth\, encouraging viewers to take time and make time for the things that truly matter in life. His art is a celebration of the human spirit and an invitation to slow down and savor life’s precious moments. \nThis event is a Fall Multidisciplinary Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program.

Native of Finland\, I create public art projects and fiber-art installations. Many of my projects have been informed by climate change.  \nMy work has been exhibited at King Manor Museum\, South Street Seaport and Thomas Cole National Historic Site in New York. My work has received grants from Foundation for Contemporary Arts and New York State Council on the Arts. I have served on environmental artist panels at NYC Climate Week at South Street Seaport\, and COAL+ICE at the Kennedy Center.  \nFor nearly two decades\, I have worked as a teaching artist in NYC public schools. Working in diverse communities has significantly influenced my art practice.  \nI hold a M.F.A. from NYU/Tisch School of the Arts.  \nI make tapestries out of recycled plastic film\, some of them made through social engagement. 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. The vibrantly colorful tapestries cap8vate audiences of all ages. The project is suitable for the general public.” – Sari Nordman  \nThis event is a Fall Multidisciplinary Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program.

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.

SUMMARY:UOMOSOLO: Open Rehearsal with BAC Artist-in-Residence Lorenzo Guerrini
DESCRIPTION:UOMOSOLO: Open Rehearsal\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Lorenzo Guerrini \nDate & Time: Saturday October 3\, 1-2pm (during ARToberfest!) Rain Date: 10/4\nRegistration not required.\n \nIdea and Creation: Lorenzo Guerrini\nPerformer: Lorenzo Guerrini  \nJoin BAC Artist-in-Residence for an Open Rehearsal of UOMOSOLO at ARToberfest. UOMOSOLO is a solo-work in progress\, exploring contemporary dance\, physical theater\, and character exploration.   \nThe piece follows the ups and downs of Uomosolo\, a clumsy and inept middle-aged man who struggles to be accepted by society. Uomosolo experiments with different types of personalities he can be\, with the aim of finding the best version of himself.

SUMMARY:Garage Hubub: An Interactive Open Studio with BAC Emerging Artist Fellow Catherine Liebowitz 
DESCRIPTION:Garage Hubub: An Interactive Open Studio\nwith BAC Emerging Artist Fellow Catherine Liebowitz  \nDate & Time: Saturday\, ARTober 3\, 1-4PM (during ARToberfest!) Rain Date: 10/4\nRegistration not required. \nTo sculpt? To draw? To talk? Join BAC Emerging Artist Fellow Catherine Liebowitz in Bethany’s garage during ARToberfest to experience an Interactive Open Studio.   \nVisitors can choose to observe Catherine working on a clay piece or take part in one of the activities that will be available. Try out parts of her process\, brainstorm names for sculptures\, or come by for a chat to learn about one of Bethany’s many Artists-in-Residence.  \nABOUT CATHERINE\nCatherine Liebowitz is a sculptor who works primarily in clay\, plaster\, and stone. 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. 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.
