In partnership with ENU Builds\, we identified a need across our communities to build a residency for the most emerging artists: high school artists of all mediums. \nENUBuilds and the Bethany Arts Community are thrilled to be hosting the 4th Annual Teen Arts Residency. The 1st Teen Arts Residency in February 2024 welcomed seven local students to Bethany for three days. Over the course of three days\, students had time and space to work on their craft\, collaborate with one another\, and learn from a mentor. From this original cohort\, our Annual Teen Arts Residency continues to grow. Currently\, the program is split up over two 4-day portions of the residency over the academic year\, taking on up to seven high school Juniors and Seniors. \nThe 4th Annual Teen Arts Residency will take place in both Fall 2026 and Spring 2027. One cohort will be selected to participate in both the Fall and Spring portions of the residency. During the Fall portion of the residency\, artists will be encouraged to explore their discipline\, while brainstorming and settling on a project idea. During the Spring portion of the residency\, students will continue to work on and eventually share their project(s). \n\nIn applying\, students must be able to commit to attending both portions of the residency. \nELIGIBILITY: This residency is open only to rising high school juniors and seniors (Class of 2027 & 2028) in the NY\, NJ\, CT tri-state area.  \nArtists are provided room & board and a studio conducive to their artistic medium and/or project. \nThere is no cost to apply or to participate.  \nResidency Dates: November 5-8\, 2026 & March 11-14\, 2027\nApplication Open: January 22\, 2026\nApplication Due: May 26\, 2026 by 11:59PM EST\nNotifications: June 16\, 2026 \nTo check out our grounds and more\, visit our website at www.bethanyarts.org. \nIf you have questions or concerns about accommodations for your artistic practice\, please email: submit@bethanyarts.org. \nClick Here to Apply!

Community Program – Registration Encouraged!\n\nAKINOLA is a deeply personal work by choreographer and artistic director Adesola Osakalumi\, written as a letter across generations\, both to his younger self and to his son. The piece reflects on the courage\, clarity\, and bravery required to navigate artistic spaces that have historically minimized Hip-Hop\, street\, house\, and club dance forms as less valid or less legitimate.  \nRooted in lived experience\, AKINOLA affirms these forms as powerful\, expansive\, and essential to the contemporary artistic landscape. The work speaks to the ongoing tension between how widely these styles are used\, consumed\, and celebrated and how often true respect\, authorship\, and legitimacy are denied or diluted. Through movement\, AKINOLA reminds us that choosing bravery over fear\, systems\, and self-limiting doubt is what leads to growth\, abundance\, and artistic freedom.  \nWhat to Expect\nThis open rehearsal invites the BAC community into the creative process. Audiences will observe sections of the work in development\, gaining insight into how movement is shaped\, refined\, and contextualized. The rehearsal will be followed by a conversation with Adesola Osakalumi and cast\, offering space to reflect on the themes of the piece\, the lineage of street and club dance forms\, and the realities of sustaining artistic integrity within dominant cultural systems. Open to all ages.   \nFind Adesola —\nWebsite: https://adesola.com/\nInstagram: @adesolaosakalumi  \n ————  \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.\n \nThis Residency and Community Program are made possible through BAC’s partnership with Works & Process at the Guggenheim. BAC is proud to partner with Works & Process\, the performing arts series at the Guggenheim to support creators of the performing arts and incubate new works. As two organizations committed to supporting artists across disciplines and in various stages of their artistic process\, the partnership is a natural fit.  URL:https://bethanyarts.org/calendar/akinola-open-rehearsal/ LOCATION:Bethany Arts Community\, 40 Somerstown Rd.\, Ossining\, NY\, 10562\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Program,Dance,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://bethanyarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/akinola.png ORGANIZER;CN="Bethany Arts Community":MAILTO:info@bethanyarts.org GEO:41.17225;-73.828321 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bethany Arts Community 40 Somerstown Rd.

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.
