SUMMARY:Art Concepts - Conceptual Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Art Concepts – Conceptual Art Exhibition \nCurated by Tamarah Fernandez-Bridgewater\nMay 26 – June 6\nGALLERY HOURS (Starting 5/26)\nMonday – Saturday 10AM-4PM\nSundays CLOSED \nOPENING RECEPTION: Tuesday\, May 26\, 2026 6:30-8:30PM \nConceptual Art is thinking and sharing outside the box. The Art Concepts – Conceptual Art Exhibition is a manifestation of creative perspectives seen through the artist’s intentionality of process. Creatives think differently\, deeply\, and question happenings. This process informs their work and also engages the viewer to join the conversation. Found or purposefully chosen materials bring physicality to a thought\, a system\, a practice\, an assumption\, an emotion\, or theory\, bridging the gap between what we feel and question with what we know and what we accept to be. Art Concepts is a platform where an idea is not only a visual but is an opportunity for thought to be encountered.\n \nPARTICIPATING ARTISTS\n \nOsei Essed\nBurnham Essed\nRon Whitehead\nAnna Adler\nMandi Olivieri\nVernon M. Byron\nSimone Rene\nDeborah Silberberg\nKatarina Hoeger\nMarcy B.

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.
