This exhibit is possible because of you.   \nA very special thanks to individuals\, local organizations and businesses for their support and efforts in making this project possible: Mirthu Meza\, Jermain Smith\, Rodolfo Moran\, Joyce Cole\, Neighbors Link\, Ossining UFSD\, James Trapasso and The Ossining Public Library\, 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\, and Neeks Catering.  \nABOUT THE ARTIST\n“I am figurative painter and graphic artist living and working in the Hudson Valley of New York. 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. Los dibujos\, creados por el artista Jack Berkowitz\, incluyen dueños de tiendas\, personas mayores\, niños y sus padres\, maestros\, líderes comunitarios\, barberos\, trabajadores de restaurantes\, políticos\, bibliotecarios\, artistas\, miembros de muchas comunidades  culturales diferentes\, y más. Los 50 retratos originales muestran a las personas reales y la rica cultura de la vibrante población de Ossining.  \nAcompáñanos del 6 al 18 de noviembre en Bethany Arts Community para reflexionar\, compartir y celebrar a las personas que llaman a Ossining su hogar y que hacen de Ossining un lugar especial.   \nGracias a los miembros de la comunidad de Ossining que participaron en este proyecto. 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

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.

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

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.

SUMMARY:AKINOLA Open Rehearsal & Conversation
DESCRIPTION:AKINOLA Open Rehearsal & Conversation with Adesola Osakalumi & Company\nDate & Time: Thursday January 8\, 6-7:30PM\nFREE! 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.
