SUMMARY:A Musical Performance and Talk with Artists in Residence Summer Kodama
DESCRIPTION:“Legible” A Musical Performance and Talk with Artists in Residence Summer Kodama is a presentation of solo performance pieces composed during the residency and inspired by literary projections of the Asian American/Pacific Islander experience. The performance will showcase multi-tracked double bass\, spoken word and electronics. Through research of various literary works of East Asian and Asian-American authors\, in addition to the exploration of the Asian diaspora and its influence in the framework of cultural assimilation\, ‘Legible’ is an attempt to create an exhibit that showcases the various contributions of AAPI writers through the engagement of audiences in an interdisciplinary performance. With the recent rise in Anti-Asian sentiment in the United States\, Summer hopes to inspire the audience to inquire about their internalization of systemic inequity\, invisibility and to further humanize the experiences of people of color. \nREGISTER HERE\nThis event is being held in-person at Bethany Arts Community. For your safety\, and the safety of our artists and staff\, attendance is being limited and you will be required to wear a mask while at Bethany irrespective of vaccination status. Please read our Covid-19 Safety Statement before your visit. \n\n\n\n\nBio\nSummer Kodama is a Japanese-American upright/electric bassist\, composer and educator. She passionately strives to understand\, respect\, and express as many different perspectives of the human experience through her compositions and collaborative efforts. She feels especially drawn towards improvised music and composition as a platform for her expression and her beliefs. Passionate about promoting diversity and inclusion awareness\, Summer utilizes her creativity and musical community as a means for outreach. Her most recent venture entailed organizing a concert of AAPI composer-performers and diversity/inclusion initiatives through Nevada School of the Arts. \nSummer’s most recent awards include a multi-disciplinary arts residency at Bethany Arts (2021) and the 2020 Downbeat Student Music award for Outstanding Composition for Large Ensemble. She also has won numerous awards and fellowships through the Jazz Education Network (2019)\, the Monterey Next Generation Jazz Festival (2017) and McGill University (2018-2020). She has participated in residencies at the Banff Centre\, Marrowstone Music Festival\, the Disneyland All-American College Band and the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop. She is grateful to have performed alongside Tyshawn Sorey\, Kenny Rampton\, Jean-Michel Pilc\, Claire Daly\, Post- Modern Jukebox among many others. During her time as a graduate fellow at McGill University\, she served as composer-in-residence for one of the premiere jazz ensembles\, under the tutelage of honored Canadian composers: Jean-Nicolas Trottier and Joe Sullivan. \nWhen not performing\, Summer spends her time developing an already recognizable voice as both a composer and player. Her compositions showcase risk taking improvisations; to play with her requires embracing the unexpected. Foil to her fearlessness is a genuine desire to connect with audience members in terms they can relate to. Her compelling writing assures that listeners leave with lasting impressions of new sonic worlds. \nIn addition to her music career\, Summer is a co-founder of Healing Hearts Cooperative\, an organization dedicated to creating an inclusive community through virtual wellness events. Summer recently completed her master’s degree at McGill University for Jazz and Composition. \nArtist’s social media:\nwebsite: summerkomusic.com\ninstagram: https://www.instagram.com/summerkobama/\nsoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/summer-kodama\nbandcamp: https://summerkodama.bandcamp.com \nResidencies and programs at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.

SUMMARY:Eulogizing Through Collage with Artist in Residence\, Maggie Kubley
DESCRIPTION:Join multi-media artist Maggie Kubley in a collage workshop that aims to give participants the satisfaction of creating something that eulogizes someone or something that is important to them. Participants will use scissors\, glue\, tape\, paper mementos they brought from home\, and Kubley’s collection of found paper to create collages that are meant to memorialize a cherished person\, pet\, or anything else of importance. Participants can start from scratch or can use templates provided by Kubley to create meaningful mementos to take home and cherish. \nREGISTER HERE\nThis event is being held in-person at Bethany Arts Community. For your safety\, and the safety of our artists and staff\, attendance is being limited and you will be required to wear a mask while at Bethany irrespective of vaccination status. Please read our Covid-19 Safety Statement before your visit. \n\n\n\n\nBio\nMAGGIE KUBLEY IS a Chicago based artist whose work uses song\, video\, comedy\, slideshow\, and solo performance to explore death\, grief\, femininity\, sex\, consent\, depression\, addiction and their various intersections. A child of the conservative Midwest\, cornfed a steady diet of late 90’s/early 00’s sexism\, Kubley’s work is a razor-sharp reflection of growing up too loud to be the chill girl and too much of a dork to be GRRL POWER. \nInfluenced by the versatility of Miranda July\, the self- portraiture of Cindy Sherman and the provocative performance art of peaches\, Kubley uses pop sensibilities to craft dynamic multimedia performance pieces. From the confusing moments of her teen years to the hard-to- swallow truths of her 30’s\, Kubley blends humor\, song and unexpected imagery to encourage her audiences to embrace the community forged through the acknowledgment of past embarrassments and trauma. \nKubley has performed all over Chicago\, notably Chicago’s Steppenwolf garage rep theatre\, Chicago Cultural Center\, Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts\, and as a featured performer in Chicago’s legendary Fly Honey Show for the better part of the last decade. \nArtist’s social media:\nInstagram: @mkoobz \nResidencies and programs at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Georgia O’Keeffe: The Mother of American Modernism - Instructor: Dr. Jill Kiefer
DESCRIPTION:Georgia O’Keeffe played a pivotal role in the development of American modernism and its relationship to European avant-garde movements of the early-20th century. Producing a substantial body of work over seven decades\, she sought to capture the emotion and power of objects through abstracting the natural world. O’Keeffe incorporated the techniques of other artists into her work and was especially influenced by photographer Paul Strand and painter Arthur Dove. However\, her art is uniquely her own\, and she always danced to her own tune. Join us to learn more about this fascinating artist and woman. \nREGISTER FOR COURSE\nSix Sessions: Saturdays\, 10/2 – 11/6 – 10:00 – 11:00 AM

SUMMARY:Horsehair & Obvara Pottery Firing
DESCRIPTION:Learn about Horsehair Raku and Obvara Pottery with Instructor: Keith H. Gordon while making your own art to keep and display. Keith will operate a portable gas-fired kiln to heat ceramic pieces to 1700F so they can be smoked while still hot. Public can buy a bisque tile that they will then decorate using horsehair\, feathers\, iron chloride\, and yeast solution (a technique from Medieval Europe). Potters may bring their own bisque-fired ceramics to be fired and decorated with the same treatments. Each kiln load takes approximately an hour\, and pots will be cool enough to take home about 20 minutes after they are decorated. Wall tiles can be hung with a glue-on Disc ($3 additional). \nRegister for 10am Class $25  Register for 12:30pm Firing (Potters Only) $25\nPurchase a tile $10 \nAll experience levels: 10am\nPotters only: 12:30pm\nAges: adult (14+) \nClass Fee:\nAll experience levels (10am class): $25. Materials Fee: $10 for one tile. Up to 2 additional times may be purchased during class. (limit 3 tiles per person).\nPotters Class\, (12:30pm): $25\, plus $10/pot fired (limit 5 pots). Select and pay for the number of pots you will bring upon registration. No materials cost. \nAvailable in class: Disc hangers (optional) $3 each. \nInstructor Bio: \nKeith is a second-generation potter with 50+ years of experience. He manages the clay studio at Cedar Lane Arts Center for the Ossining Recreation Dep’t. and also teaches ceramics at the New Castle and Pelham Art Centers. Keith is an officer of Ossining Arts Council and Hudson River Potters. His work is displayed at http://CageyCreations.CrotonArts.org   Instagram: @Cagey_Creations \nBackground info on processes:\nThe obvara firing process originated in Eastern Europe around the 12th Century and involves scalding the finish on the pottery to seal the porous surface. A bisqued pot is heated to 1650°F and then dipped into a specific obvara yeast mixture before being dunked in water to rapidly cool the piece. The effects are quite stunning. \nHorsehair raku pots are similarly heated and then various combustible items (horsehair\, feathers\, sugar\, etc.) are then laid on the surface where they will burn leaving black marks and gray smoke shading. Ferric chloride is also sprayed on the pieces to produce yellow-gold coloring.

Is it simply individual health\, or are there greater benefits? What are the challenges to growing\, marketing\, and distributing produce? How do our local initiatives relate to UN global efforts? Miriam Haas\, artist\, OAC secretary\, and founder of Down To Earth Markets\, will talk with us about the value of our diverse choices – from apple to sweet potato\, from farmer to buyer\, and from those fresh\, crunchy bites to future sustainability.  \nDonation Drive – Donate to the Ossining Food Pantry!\nAt the Hungers/Harvests reception on September 17th\, join the Ossining Arts Council members who were inspired by the UN 2021 International Year of Fruits and Vegetables. During the reception\, we will be collecting funds to donate to the Ossining Food Pantry\, which re-starts distribution of foods such as grains\, fruit\, vegetables\, proteins and pantry staples to clients. Since the beginning of the pandemic\, the Ossining Food Pantry saw their client base triple from 400 households to well over 1\,000 households. The need is great! Be inspired! Join us and support distribution of fruits and vegetables in our community! \nAbout the Exhibit:\nOAC members\, inspired by the United Nations 2021 International Year of Fruits and Vegetables\, present artwork that raises awareness of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. From vibrant to somber\, representational to abstract\, they use a variety of media to explore themes related to nutrition\, farming\, food systems\, lack and abundance\, and seeds\, change\, and hope. Come and see how artists help us make connections between everyday foodstuffs and one of the essential concerns of our times.   \nView Exhibit\nThis event is being held in-person at Bethany Arts Community. For your safety\, and the safety of our artists and staff\, attendance is being limited and you will be required to wear a mask while at Bethany irrespective of vaccination status.

SUMMARY:The New Tools – Art from Emerging Technologies with Instructor\, John Hyde
DESCRIPTION:Class Description: Creating art takes many forms and mediums. Emerging in today’s art creation is 3D printing\, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and Laser cutting/engraving. These tools helped define industrial prototyping for many years and with time have entered the homes and studios of artists. Bethany Arts Community has one of each of these tools and will be holding a course which engages participants in using these tools to create art.\n \nREGISTER\nWhen: Thursdays\, September 9\, 16\, 23\, 30\, Oct 7\, 14 (six sessions)\nTime: 7:00pm-8:30pm\nWhere: BAC’s Maker space\nStudent Level: Introductory\nAges: Adult 18+. Under 18 only with instructor review.\nNumber of participants: 6\nFee: $250 – Includes basic materials for the creation of your mixed media art piece\nStudent materials Required: Windows or Mac laptop from 2015 or newer. Software to be used will be Inkscape for creation of vector graphics.\nNote: Students will be required to be vaccinated. Participants must bring their card or NY empire pass on their phone to the class. \nSkills: Computer literate. \n\nExperience in graphic design programs using vector graphics will be beneficial. (Illustrator\, Inkscape)\nExperience with 3D modeling programs is nice to have\, though not mandatory.\n\nInstructor Bio: Inspired by the fusion of art and technology\, John Hyde makes sculpture and costumed characters that explore the union of creepy looks with a friendly soul. His work asks us to consider if what we habitually see as unsettling can also be kind. In 2016 rekindled his artistic endeavors by creating 3D printed fine art and costuming. It is never too late to begin a new discipline\, and driven by that ethic John has been learning with his hands how to blend his technological skills with traditional artistic modalities.

SUMMARY:Camp Weird (and Wonderful!)
DESCRIPTION:(Week 1) July 19-23 SOLD OUT\n(Week 2) July 26-30 SOLD OUT\nRegister (Week 3) Aug 2-6 (Ages 7-12)SOLD OUT  Register (Week 4) Aug 9-13 (Ages 11-14) SOLD OUT \nWe invite you to come explore the boundless creativity and endless discovery that is art! Whether we’re experimenting with new mediums\, or inventing creative new methods for old ones\, we aim to look at everything in wondrous new ways. \nCamp Weird is an Art Camp with the goal of fostering curiosity\, welcoming discovery\, and doing so with intention. We’ll guide students through a variety of project-based lessons utilizing a full assortment of artistic mediums\, including painting\, sculpture\, ceramics\, mixed media and more. Geared toward hands-on visual art creation and exploration\, Camp Weird wonders and wanders fearlessly bumping into the scientific\, dabbling in dance and movement\, or sampling music and poetry– whatever engages our creativity in the moment. Leave your expectations at the door and welcome curiosity. \nBoth group work and individual art-making activities will be undertaken as we have fun together\, learn\, and let our creativity flow like paint! Attend one or two weeks\, projects won’t repeat. \nDates:\nWeek 1: July 19 – 23 SOLD OUT\nWeek 2: July 26 – 30 SOLD OUT\nWeek 3: August 2-6 SOLD OUT\nWeek 4: August 9-13 SOLD OUT\nTime: 9am – noon\nAges: Weeks 1-3 (7-12 yrs old) & Week 4 (11-14 yrs old)\nPrice: $250 / week \nRegistration Limited to 8 campers\nParents will need to complete the following forms in advance of the 1st day of camp: emergency contact\, camper allergy\, photo release & waiver \nSample Projects and Gallery Exhibits: \n“Nothing Is As It Seems” – group sculpture\nCampers select and bring to camp the “most boring\, ordinary” object from home\, and create something wonderful. The campers\, themselves\, will be tasked with determining which item brought in is “the most boring”\, but then on close inspection (and maybe some introspection) will reveal that none of the objects is boring\, or ordinary. \nCampers may be asked to take 15 – 20 different photos of their items. Taking multiple photos of the same\, ordinary object is a great way to learn to pay close attention\, and to force you (and others) to see that object in different ways. Campers may be asked to write down what’s interesting about each object in a postcard From there\, Campers will work together to combine the objects in a sculptural piece – to create something they deem interesting\, that challenges viewers to see things as the infinitely fascinating marvels they are. “Nothing Is As It Seems” is the 1st piece encountered when entering the Gallery Exhibit. Sculpture. What’s interesting about a pile of everyday junk? If our guest gets stumped\, the children’s ‘discovery postcards’ will be hanging nearby to help. \n“A Mess of Feelings” – carving and poured resin\nWhat are you feeling right now? Where do you feel it in your body? Does it have a color or shape or size? Does it affect the people or events around you? In this activity\, we’ll be using our emotions to inform our design and create a poured resin sculpture. \n“Where Are You\, Now?” – individual and collaborative paper sculpture\, 3D self-portraits\nWho are we? A self-portrait isn’t just a reflection of our physical appearance\, it’s an opportunity to tell a story about who we are\, where and how we want to focus attention; ours and others to think differently about who we are.  “Where Are You\, Now?” brings us into the current moment\, and demonstrates that it is endlessly full of wonders and opportunities. \n  \nAbout Cherie Lee:\nCherie Lee is a self-taught\, Philadelphia-born artist\, who utilizes high speed rotary equipment to reduce genuine Ostrich Eggshells to small-scale\, subtractive-sculpture commentaries appreciating\, and testing\, the limits of faculty and frailty. Whether her subject matter be ecological\, sociological or anthropological\, she unites substance and subject\, gingerly evoking one basic concept: what you have is fragile\, no matter it’s strength. Having grown up suburban-poor\, her earliest materials were found objects in nature and readily available household items\, predominantly paper. These early works resulted most often in two distinct forms: elaborate dimensional paper sculptures that are white-on-white plays of light and shadow\, or intricately detailed\, flat black paper-cuts. Both styles notable for what they lack\, or what’s been taken away; a concept she hopes might foster a more solid appreciation for what is there. \nShortly after recognizing the humble chicken egg as a perfect 4-dimensional ‘canvas’\, one of her first pieces was admitted to the United States White House Permanent Collection. By 2018\, she acquired the tools necessary that would allow her to focus solely on her preferred medium\, the thick and sturdy ostrich eggshell. Her current body of work explores how much can be taken away from something\, be it natural\, man-made or conceptual\, without removing it’s integrity. “However\,” she cautions\, “if the strength of an eggshell allows me to push it to it’s furthest limits\, it’s fragility reminds me not to.” \ncherieleecreations.wixsite.com/cherielee

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Streaming Concert with Original Songs by Arya
DESCRIPTION:Join us May 27 at 7pm for a short solo acoustic set by composer and performer Arya with original songs via Zoom and Facebook LIVE \nREGISTER\nBio\nSomewhere between the 90’s and now\, far-removed from her Serbian upbringing\, Arya “appeared.”  \nMoving to the United States from Belgrade\, after more than a decade as a classical pianist\, wasn’t easy. Neither was casting aside the jazz degree she found herself with four years later—deciding that she was done hiding behind a Baby Grand.  \nArya found herself in Austin\, TX as an artist ready to bare her everything—hope\, sadness\, love\, heartbreak and the lies she gathered along the way. She shares her voices as an artist through a blend of pop\, R&B and elements much darker—hell-bent on proving that you can dance and cry at the same time.  \nArya released her debut EP\, “it wasn’t love.” in 2019\, followed by her singles “Choosy\,” which she describes as “a love letter to all the fuckboys” and “Bed”—an intimate look at her mental health and an “anthem for being okay with not being okay.”   \nBoth singles are currently receiving airplay on Austin’s KUTX 98.9. Alongside the release of “Bed\,” Arya launched her “Better Every Day” merch line that donates proceeds to the SIMS foundation—an organization focused on providing mental health services to people in the music industry.  \nArya is preparing her next single for release this Spring\, while simultaneously working on her first Visual EP\, tentatively titled “Insides.”   \n

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Open Studio and “Hands-on” Demonstration with sculptor Cherie Lee
DESCRIPTION:With the recent acquisition of a ‘teaching level’ drill\, Cherie Lee shares her exquisite finished work\, demonstrates techniques\, and introduces participants to basic carving applications that can be used on wood\, bone\, metal and even vegetable ivory. \nRegister\nBio\nCherie Lee is a self-taught\, Philadelphia-born artist\, who utilizes high speed rotary equipment to reduce genuine Ostrich Eggshells to small-scale\, subtractive-sculpture commentaries appreciating\, and testing\, the limits of faculty and frailty. Whether her subject matter be ecological\, sociological or anthropological\, she unites substance and subject\, gingerly evoking one basic concept: what you have is fragile\, no matter it’s strength. Having grown up suburban-poor\, her earliest materials were found objects in nature and readily available household items\, predominantly paper. These early works resulted most often in two distinct forms: elaborate dimensional paper sculptures that are white-on-white plays of light and shadow\, or intricately detailed\, flat black paper-cuts. Both styles notable for what they lack\, or what’s been taken away; a concept she hopes might foster a more solid appreciation for what is there. \nShortly after recognizing the humble chicken egg as a perfect 4-dimensional ‘canvas’\, one of her first pieces was admitted to the United States White House Permanent Collection. By 2018\, she acquired the tools necessary that would allow her to focus solely on her preferred medium\, the thick and sturdy ostrich eggshell. Her current body of work explores how much can be taken away from something\, be it natural\, man-made or conceptual\, without removing it’s integrity. “However\,” she cautions\, “if the strength of an eggshell allows me to push it to it’s furthest limits\, it’s fragility reminds me not to.” \nwww.cherieleecreations.wixsite.com/cherielee

SUMMARY:Workshop: Using a Camera to Tell Your Story
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Using a Camera to Tell Your Story\nTuesdays\, April 13\, 20\,27\, May 4\,11\,18\n4:00 – 5:30 PM\nAges Grades 6-8\nFee: $150\n6 Student Limit\nInstructor: Anne Carpenter \nREGISTER\n“Each one of us has a story to tell\, and the power of imagery can not only tell it in a vibrant way that reflects each individual’s truth\, but it is also an insightful tool to connect with our emotions\, our story\, ourselves and ultimately our surroundings in a way that is unique and undeniable.” (from the 100Cameras “Where You Are” curriculum)\n\nThe past year has been one of the most challenging our children have lived through. What a perfect time to equip them with another way to express what they see in the world around them and how they feel about it. This class will give children the opportunity to pair a tangible tool they already have available to them (camera/phone) with the ever-developing tool of personal perspective. While learning basic photography skills\, students will be examining the details of their immediate environment more closely through the lens and learning to connect that with their own stories. Students will also experiment with editing.\n\nMaterial: digital camera of any kind (but preferable a smart phone or tablet) and a gmail account. Pen and notebook will be provided.\nTeacher: Anne Carpenter.\nAnne Carpenter is a longtime Ossining resident whose passion for art brought her to Bethany where she pursues her love of photography and music.
