Earth conscious actors agree to a theatrical feat for the planet.

The showing will also include a question and answer session as well as an open discussion between the dancers\, the assembled audience\, and Christopher Williams.  \nInspired by ancient Greek romancer Longus’s 2nd century novel Daphnis & Chloé: Story of a Lesbian Romance (on which it is based)\, Daphnis & Chloé features cast of transgender\, non-binary\, and female-identifying dancers in order to foreground oft absent or marginalized aspects of transgender/queer feminine agency and desire in classical dance. As “queering” concepts in previous works by Williams have allowed him to spin tales championing countless LGBTQIA+ individuals struggling today to freely express their gender and sexual identity\, featuring powerful transgender/non-binary leads Daphnis & Chloé will allow him to expand the scope of his queer inclusion\, offering genderqueer alternatives to traditional pas de deux pairings that challenge ballet’s long-standing tendency to promote heteronormative stereotypes.   \nwww.christopherwilliamsdance.org\nIG: @faycavalier  \nThis event is a 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. \nMain photograph by Steven Pisano.

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 URL:https://bethanyarts.org/calendar/homeiswheretheartis/ LOCATION:Bethany Arts Community\, 40 Somerstown Rd.\, Ossining\, NY\, 10562\, United States CATEGORIES:Art Show,Artober,BAC Studio Artists,Exhibit,Studio Artist Showcase,Visual Art ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bethanyarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/The-Weight-of-Growing-Between-Childhood-and-Change.jpeg 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.

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  URL:https://bethanyarts.org/calendar/fromthegroundup/ LOCATION:Bethany Arts Community\, 40 Somerstown Rd.\, Ossining\, NY\, 10562\, United States CATEGORIES:2025 Residencies,Community Program,Emerging Artist Residency 2025,Program,Visual Art,Workshop,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://bethanyarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/graphic-for-website_MYA-CP_2025-Surface-Exploration-Workshop.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.
