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

SUMMARY:From the Ground Up: A Surface Exploration Workshop with Emerging Artist Fellow Mya Seward
DESCRIPTION:From the Ground Up: A Surface Exploration Workshop\nwith Emerging Artist Fellow Mya Seward\nDate & Time: Saturday September 6\, 11AM-1:30PM\nFREE Community Program. Advance registration encouraged.  \nJoin Emerging Artist Fellow Mya Seward for a hands-on surface-making workshop that explores how texture and materials can transform your artwork. Dive into surface play with modeling paste\, cardboard\, and image transfers\, to push your surfaces into new dimensions.   \nParticipants will use materials like modeling paste\, cardboard\, sand\, and glue to build layered textures on wood panels or canvas. We’ll experiment with image transfers\, distressing\, and collage techniques to create unique surfaces for your artwork.   \nAll materials will be supplied. You are encouraged to bring your own found objects or any other project materials you’d like to add or incorporate into your work. Feel free to bring basic inkjet-printed (reversed) photos of your own images if you’d like to incorporate personal transfers. We will also have photographs and prints for you to use for acrylic image transfers.  \nWhether you’re starting something new or working on a current project\, this session invites you to imagine your art beyond the flat plane. Let’s experiment!   \nOpen to teens and up. Beginner to Expert artists welcome.  \nThis event is a BAC 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.  \nAbout Mya Seward\nMy name is Mya\, and I’m a visual artist whose work explores the relationship between memory\, place\, and personal perspective through mixed media. As a 2025 Emerging Artist Fellow at Bethany Arts Community\, I’ll be spending the summer in the studio creating a new body of work that draws from objects\, environments\, and experiences. \nUsing a mix of oil paint\, durable materials\, collage\, and photography\, I build layered pieces that reflect the texture and energy of the environments I move through—especially urban and industrial spaces that often go unnoticed. I’m fascinated by the traces people leave behind: graffiti\, decay\, signage\, and structures shaped by time. My process often begins with collecting photos\, fragments\, and textures\, which I reconfigure into compositions that feel both chaotic and carefully composed. Through this\, I aim to rediscover and redefine the world around me. \nTravel is a huge source of inspiration for me. I see art as a way to document experience\, to slow down and absorb details that might otherwise be missed. I love experimenting with collage and paint to reflect these discoveries\, bringing together different moments and places into visual narratives. This summer\, I’m excited to dive deeper into that process\, to spend focused time making\, exploring\, and being in dialogue with other artists. The Bethany Arts Community residency is a unique opportunity to grow my practice and let new surroundings influence the direction of my work. \n

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. 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. Learn more about this year’s Fall Multidisciplinary Residency here!\n \nOur 2025 Fall Multidisciplinary Residency is proudly sponsored by Cedar’s\n \n

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   \nFaces of Ossining\nDibujos Originales de Jack Berkowitz \nDel 6 al 18 de noviembre de 2025 \nHORARIO DE LA GALERÍA (Entrada gratuita)\nLunes a viernes\, 10am – 4pm \nNoche extendida: viernes 7 de noviembre\, 10am-8pm \nSábados seleccionados: 8 de noviembre\, 10am – 4pm y 15 de noviembre\, 10am – 8pm \nDomingos seleccionados: 16 de noviembre\, 10am – 4pm \nRECEPCIÓN DE APERTURA: Jueves 6 de noviembre\, 6:30 – 8:30pm\nCENA DOMINGUERA: Domingo 9 de noviembre\, 5 – 7pm \n \nFaces of Ossining es una muestra de arte única en Bethany Arts Community que celebra a la comunidad de Ossining a través de retratos originales de quienes viven y trabajan aquí.

Esta exposición es posible gracias a ustedes. \nUn agradecimiento muy especial a las personas\, organizaciones locales y negocios por su apoyo y esfuerzo para hacer posible este proyecto: Mirthu Meza\, Jermain Smith\, Rodolfo Moran\, Joyce Cole\, Neighbors Link\, Ossining UFSD\, James Trapasso y la Biblioteca Pública de Ossining\, Richie’s Kitchen\, Live It Up Juice Bar\, Scarduzio’s Deli & Catering\, Capri Pizza\, Tutto Cream Gelateria\, Terra Rustica Ristorante Italiano\, Melike Turkish Cuisine\, Aji Limo Peruvian Cuisine\, Hacienda Greek Restaurant\, Brothers Fish & Chips\, Churrasqueira Ribatejo y Neeks Catering. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSOBRE EL ARTISTA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Soy un pintor figurativo y artista gráfico que vive y trabaja en el Valle del Hudson\, Nueva York. 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
