SUMMARY:OPEN PROCESS DAY - UPAW - byCONTRAST: Apparent Contradictions SAQA NJ + NY Regional Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:byCONTRAST: Apparent Contradictions SAQA NJ + NY Region\nJune 13 – 27\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, June 13 5-7PM\nArtist Panel (prior to Opening Reception): Saturday\, June 13 4-5PM\nOpen Process Day (part of Upstate Art Weekend): Saturday\, June 27 10AM-2PM – On this page now!\n \nDuring Upstate Art Weekend\, six members of SAQA NY NJ will be in the Bethany Arts Community Gallery explaining some of the processes used in creating art quilts. Come view the artwork on display and see if you can identify the techniques demonstrated. Artists will be available to answer questions about their work. \nFeatured Artists\nAnne-Claude Cotty – Using a Desktop Printer with Fabric\nJudy Gignesi – Techniques For Finishing an Art Quilt\nChristine Janove – Collaged Fused Fabrics\nLM B. Noudehou – Hand Piecing- No Machine Necessary\nRita Romeu – Indigo Dyed Fabrics\nLinda Stern – Hand Embellishment \nThis program is a part of Upstate Art Weekend. Learn more about Upstate Art Weekend here!\n\n \nGALLERY HOURS (Starting June 15)\nMonday-Friday 10-4PM\nSaturday open 30 minutes prior to events\nSunday closed \n“By Contrast: Apparent Contradictions presents 29 art quilts made by members of the New Jersey and New York Region of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA). The exhibition examines commonly used expressions with words that have opposite meanings. Juror Ann Johnston selected 29 works in a blind jury process (maker names were not visible). Johnston writes that “The most important thing I looked for was originality in the artist’s approach to the challenge: did it look and sound like it came from the person’s own experience?” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe theme challenged the artists to visually translate a phrase of two contrasting ideas that combine into one concept. The prospectus asked artists to explore “seemingly contradictory or incongruous figures of speech\, used for dramatic\, humorous\, or ironic effect.” \nEach artist chose a two-word juxtaposition to portray in the form of an art quilt. SAQA defines the art quilt as “a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched layered structure.” Therefore\, art quilt creators often work with nontraditional materials or processes in an art form freed from the bed to hang on the wall. They are not bound by the usual rectilinear form. They frequently alter fabric or other materials with surface design techniques. \nWorking within the “layered and stitched” form\, byCONTRAST: Apparent Contradictions artists used their imaginations and creativity to decode the apparent contradiction between the words of their chosen oxymoron. \nAll 29 examples of creative expressions in byCONTRAST: Apparent Contradictions showcase the medium of art quilts. Each artist uses the art quilt form to create and present a unique visual interpretation of an oxymoron. Thus\, each artist found an “impossible solution” to the challenge of depicting a concept consisting of two words with opposite meanings. \nOver the 35 years of its existence\, SAQA has championed art quilts as a fine art medium. A global organization of over 4\,000 members\, SAQA promotes the appreciation of the art quilt through its publications\, conferences\, website and internet activity\, and global and regional exhibitions. \nThe exhibition will travel to four venues\, opening at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center and traveling to The View in Old Forge NY\, the Trenton Museum at Ellarslie Mansion in NJ\, and Bethany Art Community in Ossining NY.”\n– Linda Colsh (more info below!) \nA note from Ann Johnston\, Juror of “Apparent Contradictions”\n“I think we enjoy so many figures of speech in our daily lives that we often don’t notice that they are incongruous or that they have other possible meanings. This exhibition highlights some of them in very creative works of art—all quilts from the members of SAQA’s New Jersey + New York Region. The artists have written about their work so we can understand more about their thoughts. I had fun looking and reading—over and over again. Making choices is the not-fun part because I feel that all the works deserve our attention; they should have their voices heard. No matter the content\, skill\, or complexity in the piece\, all the artists should be respected for their energy and willingness to put their work out to be seen. I think that they all have grown with this creative experience\, whether or not their own quilt is in the exhibition. \nThe quilts show the depth and variety of a group of committed quilt artists. There are so many ways to create an image with cloth and thread and we see them all here\, in fact some I hadn’t really seen before. The greatest commitment seems to be to exploration\, of ideas of course\, but also to experimentation with surface design and construction techniques. We need to stand back and then get closer to absorb the details and read the comments to fully appreciate them. It all adds up to a feast for the viewers. \nThe most important thing I looked for was originality in the artist’s approach to the challenge: did it look and sound like it came from a person’s own experience? I think this selection of quilts is witness to how thoughtful personal exploration can result in an outburst of color and ideas for us all to examine. For me it has been a privilege to have had the opportunity.” \n– Ann Johnston\, July 2025\nannjohnston.net \nABOUT SAQA\nStudio Art Quilt Associates\, Inc. (SAQA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the art quilt: “a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched layered structure.” \nOur vision is that the art quilt is universally respected as a fine art medium.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - byCONTRAST: Apparent Contradictions SAQA NJ + NY Regional Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:byCONTRAST: Apparent Contradictions SAQA NJ + NY Region\nJune 13 – 27\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, June 13 5-7PM – On this page now!\nArtist Panel (prior to Opening Reception): Saturday\, June 13 4-5PM\nOpen Process Day (part of Upstate Art Weekend): Saturday\, June 27 10AM-2PM \n“By Contrast: Apparent Contradictions presents 29 art quilts made by members of the New Jersey and New York Region of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA). The exhibition examines commonly used expressions with words that have opposite meanings. Juror Ann Johnston selected 29 works in a blind jury process (maker names were not visible). Johnston writes that “The most important thing I looked for was originality in the artist’s approach to the challenge: did it look and sound like it came from the person’s own experience?” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe theme challenged the artists to visually translate a phrase of two contrasting ideas that combine into one concept. The prospectus asked artists to explore “seemingly contradictory or incongruous figures of speech\, used for dramatic\, humorous\, or ironic effect.” \nEach artist chose a two-word juxtaposition to portray in the form of an art quilt. SAQA defines the art quilt as “a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched layered structure.” Therefore\, art quilt creators often work with nontraditional materials or processes in an art form freed from the bed to hang on the wall. They are not bound by the usual rectilinear form. They frequently alter fabric or other materials with surface design techniques. \nWorking within the “layered and stitched” form\, byCONTRAST: Apparent Contradictions artists used their imaginations and creativity to decode the apparent contradiction between the words of their chosen oxymoron. \nAll 29 examples of creative expressions in byCONTRAST: Apparent Contradictions showcase the medium of art quilts. Each artist uses the art quilt form to create and present a unique visual interpretation of an oxymoron. Thus\, each artist found an “impossible solution” to the challenge of depicting a concept consisting of two words with opposite meanings. \nOver the 35 years of its existence\, SAQA has championed art quilts as a fine art medium. A global organization of over 4\,000 members\, SAQA promotes the appreciation of the art quilt through its publications\, conferences\, website and internet activity\, and global and regional exhibitions. \nThe exhibition will travel to four venues\, opening at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center and traveling to The View in Old Forge NY\, the Trenton Museum at Ellarslie Mansion in NJ\, and Bethany Art Community in Ossining NY.”\n– Linda Colsh (more info below!) \nA note from Ann Johnston\, Juror of “Apparent Contradictions”\n“I think we enjoy so many figures of speech in our daily lives that we often don’t notice that they are incongruous or that they have other possible meanings. This exhibition highlights some of them in very creative works of art—all quilts from the members of SAQA’s New Jersey + New York Region. The artists have written about their work so we can understand more about their thoughts. I had fun looking and reading—over and over again. Making choices is the not-fun part because I feel that all the works deserve our attention; they should have their voices heard. No matter the content\, skill\, or complexity in the piece\, all the artists should be respected for their energy and willingness to put their work out to be seen. I think that they all have grown with this creative experience\, whether or not their own quilt is in the exhibition. \nThe quilts show the depth and variety of a group of committed quilt artists. There are so many ways to create an image with cloth and thread and we see them all here\, in fact some I hadn’t really seen before. The greatest commitment seems to be to exploration\, of ideas of course\, but also to experimentation with surface design and construction techniques. We need to stand back and then get closer to absorb the details and read the comments to fully appreciate them. It all adds up to a feast for the viewers. \nThe most important thing I looked for was originality in the artist’s approach to the challenge: did it look and sound like it came from a person’s own experience? I think this selection of quilts is witness to how thoughtful personal exploration can result in an outburst of color and ideas for us all to examine. For me it has been a privilege to have had the opportunity.” \n– Ann Johnston\, July 2025\nannjohnston.net \nGALLERY HOURS (Starting June 15)\nMonday-Friday 10-4PM\nSaturday open 30 minutes prior to events\nSunday closed \nABOUT SAQA\nStudio Art Quilt Associates\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - A Study in Passion and Precision - Brenda L. Montanile
DESCRIPTION:A Study in Passion and Precision\nBrenda L. Montanile\nApril 11 – May 16\, 2026\n \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 2026 1-4PM \nA Study in Passion and Precision reflects the deep personal commitment I bring to my mosaic practice. These works hold hours of repetition\, doubt\, adjustment\, and resolve\, as well as moments of joy found throughout the creative process. They invite close examination and slow viewing\, offering a space where intensity builds quietly\, piece by piece. \nWings appear frequently in my work as symbols of movement\, comfort\, protection\, and transformation. They hold a sense of freedom and spirit within their form. \nThis exhibition reflects my ongoing relationship with mosaic as a medium and my determination to study and honor this ancient art form within a contemporary context. The works are constructed\, one piece\, one tessera at a time. Each tessera\, whether smalti\, glass\, stone\, gold\, slate\, or ceramic\, is cut\, placed\, adjusted\, and fixed by hand\, and every decision remains visible. \nFor me\, this is where precision enters the work. Precision is not control alone\, but an act of care and discipline\, shaped through attention\, patience\, and steady focus. Yet the work does not begin there. It begins with passion\, an emotional pull toward an idea\, an element\, or a color that I feel compelled to follow\, guided by curiosity and delight. \nI am drawn to the tension between these two forces. Passion initiates the work through devotion to both my inner voice and the language of mosaic itself. Precision sustains it. Together\, for me\, they have shaped a practice that requires commitment\, presence\, and time\, allowing the work to emerge through deliberate creativity. \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 2026 1-4PM\nGallery Hours (Starting April 13)\nMonday – Friday 10AM-4PM \n \n  \n  \n  \nAbout Brenda L. Montanile\n\nBrenda L. Montanile is a contemporary mosaic artist based in Puerto Rico. Her education includes study with leading masters in the field and is classically trained in traditional tools and techniques rooted in ancient mosaic practices. With nearly twenty years of study\, her practice reflects a deep dedication to mosaic as both discipline and devotion. Montanile has exhibited her work in Puerto Rico and nationally and is a teaching artist on staff at The Chicago Mosaic School. \n

SUMMARY:A Study in Passion and Precision - Brenda L. Montanile
DESCRIPTION:A Study in Passion and Precision\nBrenda L. Montanile\nApril 11 – May 16\, 2026\n \nA Study in Passion and Precision reflects the deep personal commitment I bring to my mosaic practice. These works hold hours of repetition\, doubt\, adjustment\, and resolve\, as well as moments of joy found throughout the creative process. They invite close examination and slow viewing\, offering a space where intensity builds quietly\, piece by piece. \nWings appear frequently in my work as symbols of movement\, comfort\, protection\, and transformation. They hold a sense of freedom and spirit within their form. \nThis exhibition reflects my ongoing relationship with mosaic as a medium and my determination to study and honor this ancient art form within a contemporary context. The works are constructed\, one piece\, one tessera at a time. Each tessera\, whether smalti\, glass\, stone\, gold\, slate\, or ceramic\, is cut\, placed\, adjusted\, and fixed by hand\, and every decision remains visible. \nFor me\, this is where precision enters the work. Precision is not control alone\, but an act of care and discipline\, shaped through attention\, patience\, and steady focus. Yet the work does not begin there. It begins with passion\, an emotional pull toward an idea\, an element\, or a color that I feel compelled to follow\, guided by curiosity and delight. \nI am drawn to the tension between these two forces. Passion initiates the work through devotion to both my inner voice and the language of mosaic itself. Precision sustains it. Together\, for me\, they have shaped a practice that requires commitment\, presence\, and time\, allowing the work to emerge through deliberate creativity. \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 2026 1-4 PM\nGallery Hours (Starting April 13)\nMonday – Friday 10AM-4PM \n \n  \n  \n  \nAbout Brenda L. Montanile\n\nBrenda L. Montanile is a contemporary mosaic artist based in Puerto Rico. Her education includes study with leading masters in the field and is classically trained in traditional tools and techniques rooted in ancient mosaic practices. With nearly twenty years of study\, her practice reflects a deep dedication to mosaic as both discipline and devotion. Montanile has exhibited her work in Puerto Rico and nationally and is a teaching artist on staff at The Chicago Mosaic School. \n

SUMMARY:"Greetings" - Studio Artist Spotlight: Anne Carpenter
DESCRIPTION:Greetings\nStudio Artist Spotlight: Anne Carpenter\nJanuary 6 – February 27\, 2026\nBethany Arts Community is spotlighting our studio artists for two-month periods\, located in our first floor studio artist hallway entry (next to the performance space). Studio Artists are invited to curate and show their works throughout the year. \nGreetings\nI’ve been taking pictures for a long time. Come to think of it\, it was probably 45 years ago or so that I received a cool little red point and shoot as a Christmas gift from my parents. 27 years ago\, I bought myself my first 35mm SLR with a telephoto lens just before hopping on a plane to the Canadian Rockies for my honeymoon so I wouldn’t miss capturing those majestic views. \nLater on\, I had some fun with a digital SLR\, including taking it to my favorite music spot where I’d try to capture the musicians moving fast in low light. Looking back\, it’s clear that I was often trying to get the close-up details\, even from far away. When I finally started taking photos with a smartphone\, I let go of the fact that I’d never learned the technical skills it takes to master photographing with a “real” camera. Because my phone was with me all the time\, I simply started the practice of stopping whenever I saw something that interested me\, taking the shot\, and editing it later to create a picture that felt good to me. I continue to do that 10+ years later and still love doing it. If there’s an image you see here that you’d like to have in a larger size or if you’d like to see photos I have of other subjects\, please contact me through my website (AnneorAnnie.com) or e-mail me directly at AnnieBCarpenter1@gmail.com. \nWhy Bethany\nBethany appeared on my radar when a friend invited me to a gathering of Ossining artists back in 2017 or 2018. When the founder\, David Lyons\, came in and told us all about his vision for BAC and that they had artist studios available\, I must have tucked that information into my pocket because sometime in the middle of 2019\, the idea of having a space of my own to create in came to me. I didn’t know what I was going to create exactly\, but I felt like I needed to be there. I had no idea then what an amazing community\, full of opportunities\, Bethany was and would grow to be. I have sung in the performance space\, shown my work in the galleries\, taught a class to some really great kids and best of all\, I’ve gotten to be part of a magical family.

Born in New Jersey\, I’ve lived in New York City and environs for most of my life.  \nAs an undergraduate I studied art at New York University\, Hunter College and Ohio University. I have a post graduate degree from the Brighton College of Art in Brighton\, England. My work has been shown in galleries in England\, Manhattan\, Brooklyn and Putnam County.  \nAfter the birth of my two children\, to help support my family\, I gave up my studio and went to work in the publishing industry. I worked as an executive consultant at numerous magazines including: The Village Voice\, the Nation Magazine\, American Lawyer and New York Magazine. In 2010 I left publishing and began working in the studio again full time.  \nSoon after retirement I became the primary cook at a soup kitchen in Brooklyn. Meeting and serving scores of people who have been marginalized—who may be hungry or houseless – gave me a sense of what life is like for so many people walking the streets of every city in America. Each and every one of them had a story to tell.  \nWhether doing large format narrative paintings and portraits\, I consider myself\, first and foremost\, a storyteller. However well we think we know someone we rarely know who they really are\, and what they’ve experienced. As an artist I believe it’s my job to uncover what is opaque by telling their stories that speak to struggles\, sadness\, joy\, compassion\, and resiliency.  \nI like to paint and draw series of people who make up a community. In the past I have created works profiling people at soup kitchens\, living on the Bowery\, street vendors in Mexico City\, and survivors of wars in the Middle East. Whether friends\, family members or people I have never met before\, I find great joy learning what they do each day and how they view their own lives.  \nThis commission from Bethany Art Community has given me the opportunity to spend the last year meeting\, photographing\, and drawing the people of Ossining. There are nearly fifty works in this show\, and my hope is that collectively they portray the robust and diverse flavor of this vibrant river town.” \n– Jack Berkowitz\, Artist   \nCena Dominguera\nDibujos Originales de Jack Berkowitz\nDomingo 9 de noviembre\, 5 – 7PM\n$10–$25 Paga Lo Que Puedas\n \n¡Está invitado a la Cena Dominguera en las Galerías!  \nÚnase a nosotros en comunidad para celebrar el espíritu vibrante de Ossining.

Por muy bien que creamos conocer a alguien\, rara vez sabemos quién es realmente y qué ha vivido. Como artista\, creo que mi trabajo es descubrir lo que está oculto\, contando historias que hablan de luchas\, tristeza\, alegría\, compasión y resiliencia.   \nMe gusta pintar y dibujar series de personas que conforman una comunidad.

Nací en Nueva Jersey y he vivido en la ciudad de Nueva York y sus alrededores la mayor parte de mi vida.   \nComo estudiante universitario\, estudié arte en la Universidad de Nueva York (NYU)\, Hunter College y la Universidad de Ohio. Tengo un posgrado del Brighton College of Art en Brighton\, Inglaterra. Mi trabajo se ha expuesto en galerías de Inglaterra\, Manhattan\, Brooklyn y el condado de Putnam.   \n Después del nacimiento de mis dos hijos\, para ayudar a sostener a mi familia\, renuncié a mi estudio y trabajé en la industria editorial. Trabajé como consultor ejecutivo en varias revistas\, incluyendo The Village Voice\, The Nation Magazine\, American Lawyer y New York Magazine. En 2010 dejé la industria editorial y volví a trabajar en el estudio a tiempo completo.   \nPoco después de retirarme\, me convertí en el cocinero principal en un comedor comunitario en Brooklyn. Conocer y servir a muchas personas marginadas — que pueden estar hambrientas o sin hogar — me dio una idea de cómo es la vida para tantas personas que caminan por las calles de todas las ciudades de Estados Unidos. Cada una de ellas tenía una historia que contar.    \nYa sea realizando pinturas narrativas de gran formato o retratos\, me considero\, ante todo\, un narrador de historias. Por muy bien que creamos conocer a alguien\, rara vez sabemos quién es realmente y qué ha vivido. Como artista\, creo que mi trabajo es descubrir lo que está oculto\, contando historias que hablan de luchas\, tristeza\, alegría\, compasión y resiliencia.   \nMe gusta pintar y dibujar series de personas que conforman una comunidad. En el pasado\, he creado obras perfilando a personas en comedores comunitarios\, personas que viven en Bowery\, vendedores ambulantes en Ciudad de México y sobrevivientes de guerras en Medio Oriente. Ya sean amigos\, familiares o personas que nunca he conocido antes\, encuentro una gran alegría en aprender qué hacen cada día y cómo ven sus propias vidas.    \nEste encargo de Bethany Arts Community me ha dado la oportunidad de pasar el último año conociendo\, fotografiando y dibujando a la gente de Ossining. Hay cerca de cincuenta obras en esta muestra\, y mi esperanza es que colectivamente retraten el sabor robusto y diverso de esta vibrante ciudad ribereña.”    \n— Jack Berkowitz\, Artist
