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. With a lighthearted and comical tone\, the piece reflects on loneliness\, identity\, and the relationship between oneself and society.\n\nABOUT LORENZO\nLorenzo Guerrini is a dancer based in New York City\, originally from Florence\, Italy. He holds degrees from the Martha Graham School\, ACTS/École de Danse Contemporaine de Paris\, and the University of Florence. A former member of Graham 2\, he received the Armgard von Bardeleben Award for excellence in Graham studies. He has understudied for NVA & Guests (Nicole Von Arx) and performed in original works by Peter Chu and Jesse Obremski. He is currently a company member of the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company and serves on the faculty of the Martha Graham School. \nPhoto Credit: Isabella Pagano \nThis Community Program is a part of BAC’s Annual Fall Multidisciplinary Residency.

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.
