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: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
