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!

SUMMARY:Studio Artist Spotlight - Kevin Byrd
DESCRIPTION:Studio Artist Spotlight: Kevin Byrd\nMarch 18 – May 1\, 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. \nKevin Byrd is a New York-based abstract expressionist artist whose work explores the emotional and social fabric of contemporary life through bold colors\, layered forms\, and dynamic compositions. His creative journey began during his time in the armed forces\, where he sketched fellow soldiers as a way to process and document his experience. Art became his passion and remained with him throughout his life. \nFollowing his military service\, Byrd served as a Correction Officer\, a role that deepened his understanding of human behavior and the complexities of society. He continued to nurture his interest in the human condition by pursuing higher education\, earning a degree in Behavioral Sciences. In 2024\, he completed his Master’s degree from SUNY New Paltz\, further grounding his artistic practice in both academic and lived experience. \nByrd’s work is influenced by the energy and innovation of artists like Jackson Pollock\, Julie Mehretu\, and Jacob Lawrence. Drawing inspiration from their ability to blend abstraction with narrative\, Byrd creates paintings that speak to themes of resilience\, identity\, and transformation. He uses vibrant paint\, fluid forms\, and symbolic layering to construct visual stories that reflect both personal introspection and broader social commentary. \nKevin Byrd continues to expand his artistic footprint through exhibitions\, public art projects\, and community engagement. His work not only reflects his own journey but also amplifies the voices and experiences of the people around him\, blending passion\, purpose\, and paint into every canvas. \nIn addition to painting\, Byrd is dedicated to mentoring young artists and advocating for the role of creative expression in mental wellness and community healing. Whether through workshops\, artist talks\, or local collaborations\, he remains committed to using art as a transformative force. With each new body of work\, Byrd pushes the boundaries of abstraction while staying rooted in stories and experiences that shape our shared human world. \nOn Bethany…\nMy art studio at Bethany Arts Community became more than just a workplace—it became a sanctuary. The BAC represents faith\, community\, and inspiration. Within those walls\, I discovered room to grow not only as an artist but as a person. It provided a place where creativity could breathe and ideas could transform into meaningful expressions. The atmosphere carries peace and encouragement that continually fuels my passion to create. The BAC means opportunity\, connection\, and spiritual grounding\, reminding me that art is not simply displayed—it is experienced\, shared\, and used to uplift others through purpose.

SUMMARY:Work-In-Progress Showing of Doomscrollers: A Body of Dangerous Ideas: Part 3 with Raja Feather Kelly & the feath3r theory
DESCRIPTION:Work-In-Progress Showing of Doomscrollers: A Body of Dangerous Ideas: Part 3\nwith Raja Feather Kelly & the feath3r theory \n@ BAC Open House 2026\nDate & Time: Saturday\, April 4\, 2026 1-2PM \nDoomscrollers: A Body of Dangerous Ideas: Part 3 is a danced-theater investigation of danger as both threat and threshold: how it lives in the body\, how in search for connection intimacy itself can be perilous\, and how media shapes our sympathies for violence and collapse. Inspired by Claire Bishop’s Disordered Attention and Daniel Sherrell’s Warmth\, the work asks what it means to live at the hinge between digital saturation and planetary crisis\, between the infinite scroll and the finite planet. In this space\, the body becomes a site of translation\, distortion\, and possibility. This performance will not offer escape or easy answers; instead\, it asks you to sit inside the uncertainty and risk of our moment\, to witness danger not as spectacle but as a condition we share. \nAbout the feath3r theory\nthe feath3r theory (TF3T) is a New York City based dance-theatre-media company that produces the work of Artistic Director and Choreographer Raja Feather Kelly. As a collaboration of dancers\, actors\, filmmakers\, musicians\, photographers\, and designers\, our mission is to broaden the space for unheard voices and repressed histories\, to bring into the theatre those sometimes left out\, and to use theatre to provoke much-needed public conversations. the feath3r theory does this by challenging its audience and its creators to collectively interrogate – and celebrate – its shared relationship to human empathy and personal ethics as expressed in and distorted by popular media. By unabashedly appropriating the structures\, themes\, and aesthetics of reality television\, celebrity culture\, social media and the internet\, the work of TF3T synthesizes dance\, visual media\, and narrative theatre into virtuosic and expansive\, productions in which artists and audience alike experience their shared humanity. \nMain image courtesy of the feath3r theory

SUMMARY:OFF WITH HER HEAD - River's Edge Theatre Co.
DESCRIPTION:OFF WITH HER HEAD\nRiver’s Edge Theatre Co.\nApril 9 – 12\, 2026\nAdapted by Meghan Covington\nDirected by Jessica Irons\nChoreographed by Megan Roe\nMusic by Jon Hatch \nOff With Her Head is a wordless\, movement-driven spectacle inspired by Lewis Carol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. In this surreal reimagining\, our female heroine Alice battles shifting rooms\, impossible rules\, unrealistic expectations\, and a Red Queen – part idol\, part omen – who embodies every system that silences voices that should be heard. Bold\, strange\, and visually electric\, the piece transforms the fight to claim space—and self—into a hypnotic\, physical rebellion. Curious humans ages 7 to 107 are invited down the rabbit hole. \n4/9 Thursday 7:30PM\n4/10 Friday 7:30PM\n4/11 Saturday 4:30PM and 7:30PM\n4/12 Sunday 2PM and 4:30PM \nPurchase Tickets Here!   \nLearn more about River’s Edge Theatre Co. here!  \nHave ticketing questions?

SUMMARY:A Study in Passion and Precision - Brenda L. Montanile
DESCRIPTION:A Study in Passion and Precision\nBrenda L. Montanile\nApril 11 – May 16\, 2026\n \nA Study in Passion and Precision reflects the deep personal commitment I bring to my mosaic practice. These works hold hours of repetition\, doubt\, adjustment\, and resolve\, as well as moments of joy found throughout the creative process. They invite close examination and slow viewing\, offering a space where intensity builds quietly\, piece by piece. \nWings appear frequently in my work as symbols of movement\, comfort\, protection\, and transformation. They hold a sense of freedom and spirit within their form. \nThis exhibition reflects my ongoing relationship with mosaic as a medium and my determination to study and honor this ancient art form within a contemporary context. The works are constructed\, one piece\, one tessera at a time. Each tessera\, whether smalti\, glass\, stone\, gold\, slate\, or ceramic\, is cut\, placed\, adjusted\, and fixed by hand\, and every decision remains visible. \nFor me\, this is where precision enters the work. Precision is not control alone\, but an act of care and discipline\, shaped through attention\, patience\, and steady focus. Yet the work does not begin there. It begins with passion\, an emotional pull toward an idea\, an element\, or a color that I feel compelled to follow\, guided by curiosity and delight. \nI am drawn to the tension between these two forces. Passion initiates the work through devotion to both my inner voice and the language of mosaic itself. Precision sustains it. Together\, for me\, they have shaped a practice that requires commitment\, presence\, and time\, allowing the work to emerge through deliberate creativity. \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 2026 1-4 PM\nGallery Hours (Starting April 13)\nMonday – Friday 10AM-4PM \n \n  \n  \n  \nAbout Brenda L. Montanile\n\nBrenda L. Montanile is a contemporary mosaic artist based in Puerto Rico. Her education includes study with leading masters in the field and is classically trained in traditional tools and techniques rooted in ancient mosaic practices. With nearly twenty years of study\, her practice reflects a deep dedication to mosaic as both discipline and devotion. Montanile has exhibited her work in Puerto Rico and nationally and is a teaching artist on staff at The Chicago Mosaic School. \n

SUMMARY:NEW DATES! Long Pose Life Drawing Session with Peter Leeds
DESCRIPTION:Due to inclement weather\, this session will be postponed from January 2026 to April 24-26\, 2026!\n\nLong Pose Life Drawing Session with Peter Leeds\nApril 24-26\, 2026\nFriday\, April 24 5:30-8:30PM\nSaturday\, April 25 10AM – 4PM (w/ 30-minute lunch break)\nSunday\, April 26 10AM – 4PM (w/ 30-minute lunch break)\nClass Fee: $200.00 – Registration Required \nClick Here to Register!  \nJoin us for an uninstructed long-pose life drawing session—perfect for intermediate to advanced artists and students (18+) looking to practice and hone their skills.  \nThis figure drawing session features a live nude model. One model + one pose for the entire session for about 15 hours\, with breaks (of course). This session will begin with a quick warm-up and then focus on one pose for the entirety of the three sessions with both model breaks and 30-minute lunch breaks (bring your own lunch). Our model will require at least a five-minute rest period every 20 minutes\, though if the pose chosen is quite relaxed\, the model may choose to keep their position for longer.  \nWith the longer pose\, you can have the luxury of taking your time with measuring and proportions. Time to think and plan your drawing… and use your better-quality papers if we’ve been saving them!\n\nLonger poses allow for focused\, complete\, or experimental study. This uninstructed long pose emphasizes composition\, narrative\, accuracy\, style exploration\, and creative approaches.  \nIf you’ve spent a bit of time at our monthly Drink and Draw life drawing sessions and/or with life-drawing in shorter 5-\, 10-\, and 20-minute poses\, it might be time to move on to the longer poses. This is where all your practice pays off\, as you’ve now become familiar with the human figure and how it’s put together.   \nPlease bring your own supplies and your favorite easel (if you have one). We will have limited drawing supplies and easels available. If you would like to work in a different medium\, clay\, paints\, etc. or have any questions regarding drawing materials\, contact Peter by email at pete@peterleedsart.com.

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. \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.
