SUMMARY:Studio Artist Showcase: Jan Smith Castronuovo "Then \ Now"
DESCRIPTION:HEART WITHIN THE ART\n“THEN \ NOW”\nA 20-Year Restrospective\nJan Smith Castronuovo\nJune 4 – ARTober 30\, 2026\nIt brings me such joy to see many of these pieces from 20+ years ago\, out of storage & up on the walls here at Bethany. This lets me see not only how far I’ve come\, but how some things haven’t changed much at all. The technique used in the older black & white pieces is “woodcut collage” printed by hand on Japanese paper. Interim works combine woodcut collage with acrylic paint on canvas. The newest works are digital photo collage\, either on paper or canvas. \nTHEN \ NOW focuses on relationships—with the individual self & with family members—being a wife\, mother\, sister\, daughter\, cousin—& the struggle to maintain that individual spirit within\, as outer needs from others become more complex. This exhibit is about finding & expressing Self-Love\, celebrating creativity from that deep meditative wellspring found inside each of us. Thank you one & all for hearing me out & seeing these pieces of myself needing to be revealed. \nGALLERY HOURS\nMonday – Friday 10AM-4PM \nAbout Jan Smith Castronuovo\nJan earned two master’s degrees from the University of Wisconsin—an MS in Industrial Technology\, UW/Platteville (1980); & an MFA in Printmaking\, UW/Madison (1986). Her bachelor’s degree in Fine Art is from Florida A&M University\, Tallahassee\, FL (1979). She is proud to be an HBCU graduate. In 2015\, she founded Heart Within the Art\, LLC\, her Westchester-based fine arts business. You can see more of her artwork including wood sculpture\, paintings & “HWTA Jumping Brooms” on her Instagram @HWTAart.

SUMMARY: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\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. SAQA’s core values are: excellence\, innovation\, integrity\, and inclusion. \nOver the past 35 years\, SAQA has grown into a dynamic and active community of over 4\,000 artists\, curators\, collectors\, and art professionals located around the world. \nWith our exhibitions\, resources\, publications\, and membership opportunities\, we seek to increase the public’s appreciation for the art quilt and to support our members in their artistic and professional growth. \nAbout Linda Colsh\nIn addition to being a renowned artist herself\, Linda Colsh has served on the Advisory Board and Acquisition Committee of the International Quilt Museum\, and as a Board member and Secretary of Studio Art Quilt Associates.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! The Power of Process with Emerging Artist Fellow Jayna Dias
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is sold out. If you’re interested in being on the waitlist for this workshop\, please email julias@bethanyarts.org. \nThe Power of Process with Emerging Artist Fellow Jayna Dias\nDate & Time: Thursday\, August 13\, 2026 6:30-9PM\nFREE Community Program. Registration required.  \nMaintaining an artistic practice that dedicates substantial time to think ahead of making is a valuable skill that assists in enhancing art’s content. Join us for a detailed workshop designed to develop this skill by focusing on the importance of intention and planning before creating an artwork.  \nParticipants will be guided through a series of group breathing\, writing and sketching exercises created to develop finding inspiration\, and reconnecting with the self. For those with artistic experience\, this workshop will aid in sharpening your voice\, and for those with a desire to make art\, this workshop will serve as a launching point to discover it. Everyone will walk away with a deeper understanding of their drive to make and a framework for how to tap into it. Be prepared for a relaxing evening devoted to The Power of Process!  \nAll artists are welcome\, ages 16+ — any experience level\, background\, or discipline. The workshop will include a dedicated time for hands-on “making\,” so we encourage you to bring your own art supplies related to your artistic discipline and/or what you’d like to explore during this workshop. Writing materials will be provided.  \nFor questions\, accessibility requests\, or assistance with registration\, email julias@bethanyarts.org or call BAC at 914-944-4278.   \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.  \nAbout Jayna\nJayna Dias is a Senegalese-American visual artist and performer that creates works rooted in the complexity of the Black diaspora. Through drawings\, paintings\, and the body\, Dias creates visual exemplifications of the intricacy of Black identity\, Western colonialism’s intervention on it\, and how deconstruction can be a powerful tool in reasserting it. Her work investigates themes of misogynoir\, cultural hybridity\, and fetishization channeled through lived experiences\, family lineage\, and academic research. Unstable compositions\, expressionistic figures\, boisterous colors\, and found materials are all utilized in her practice to stage invitations for viewers to engage with the underrepresented themes she depicts. Above all\, Dias’ practice is about visibility. \nDias earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Art from the University of Southern California in 2024. She has exhibited around Los Angeles\, shown in Venice\, Italy during the 2024 Biennale\, and has work in the Newport Historical Society’s collection for their Center of Black History. She completed an academic research fellowship through the Frank C. Munson Institute at the Mystic Seaport Museum in 2025 and was a visiting resident at Real Time & Space in Oakland during February of 2026. Currently practicing in Los Angeles\, Dias also works as a Visitor Experience and Community Engagement Associate at the California African American Museum. \nThis fellowship is generously supported by

SUMMARY:Bethany Artist Current Works 2026 - Open Doors
DESCRIPTION:Bethany Artist Current Works 2026 – Open Doors\nSeptember 11 – October 4\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Fri. September 11\, 2026 6:30-8:30PM\nM-F 10AM-4PM\n& Select Saturdays (September 19\, 26 + ARToberFest) – 10AM-4PM \nOpen Doors offers a glimpse into what is happening behind the studio doors at Bethany Arts Community right now.\nThis exhibition brings together work created by Bethany artists from 2025 to the present. The intent is to reflect where\neach artist is in their practice at this particular moment. These pieces come from current series\, ongoing explorations\, new directions\, and ideas still unfolding. What happens when we enter our studios? What are we thinking about\, experimenting with\, returning to\, or trying for\nthe first time? What is inspiring us now? By opening our doors\, we invite visitors in. Together\, these works offer a snapshot of the artists who are creating at Bethany today. These individual practices are brought together by a shared place\, creative energy\, and community. \nAlso join us in viewing our collaborative installation! This installation celebrates the beauty of being different while still being\ntogether. Fifty 5 × 5-inch wooden panels were donated and distributed to artists in our community. The only requirement was simple: make sure it is in your voice and create something that is uniquely you. Displayed together\, these individual works become one collective\nartwork. It is a moment in time that captures who is here now and what each person brings to this community. There is something special about the way we show up at Bethany for ourselves\, for our work\, and for one another. This installation is a celebration of that shared experience and of the many different creative voices that make this place what it is.
