SUMMARY:Poetry Reading & Talk: An Interpretation of the Real: Poetry & Photography
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Reading & Talk: An Interpretation of the Real: Poetry & Photography\nRegister for Webinar\nApril 18th from 1:00pm – 2:30pm \n\n“Photography is the art of the image while the work of many poems is to render images from the raw material of language. Both forms can also seek to find the essence of a person\, place\, object\, or experience through mimesis and distillation. In this session\, Griffiths and Jackson\, who are both practicing poets and photographers\, will discuss the intersection of these two artforms—how they speak to one another\, how they work against one another\, how they veer away from one another. They will also discuss their approach to each form as well as their poetic and photographic influences. Following a 30-40 minute conversation moderated by poet Iain Haley Pollock and photographer David Flores\, Griffiths and Jackson will each spend 20 minutes each reading their poems and presenting their photographs. After these presentations\, the audience will have a chance to ask questions of Griffiths and Jackson. ” \nArtist Bios:\nRachel Eliza Griffiths\nRachel Eliza Griffiths is a poet\, visual artist\, and novelist.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Where Do You Sit in Life? With Rochelle Udell
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk: Where Do You Sit in Life? With Rochelle Udell\nApr 6\, 2021 @ 2:00 PM via Zoom \nRegister\nInspired by Pablo Neruda’s Ode To A Chair\, I have focused on the chairs that have stories. I believe everyone has a chair story. Chairs hold us\, and they hold meaning and our imaginations. Chairs are history\, power and identity. And they raise questions like\, where do I sit in life? Exploring chairs\, their role in raising humans off the floor\, I have learned that sitting is never just about sitting. \nAbout the Artist\nRochelle Udell is an artist and speaker focusing on subjects that will hopefully provoke and inspire you to reflect on the questions and narratives in your life. “My work is informed by the years I spent as a Creative Director and Marketing Executive helping clients make vital emotional connections with the people who are their consumers.”\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Lado a Lado: Side by Side\, A Celebration of Literature and Art  
DESCRIPTION:Lado a Lado: Side by Side\nA Celebration of Literature and Art\nPresented by Ossining Children’s Center and BAC\nExhibit on Display: April 1 – April 28\nExhibit Event: April 9 @ 6pm Virtual Hang with Art talk featuring the teachers and kids of OCC \nView Exhibit \nBethany Arts Community and Ossining Children’s Center partner to present Side by Side\, a multimedia art exhibit which celebrates our diverse community. Among many themes\, one we explore in particular is that of difference-sameness.   \nThe Ossining Children’s Center encourages children to consider how the contrast of difference and sameness actually brings us together harmoniously because when children learn to respect and celebrate the differences in others they also learn just how similar we all are. This is at the core of what the Ossining Children’s Center teaches. Difference-sameness is what we all pride ourselves in as members of the Ossining community.  \n We ask our children:\n“How do you feel?”\n“How do you see yourself?”\n“How do you see your friends?”\n“What languages do your parents speak at home?”\n“Where is your family from?”\n In doing so we find connections in our racial\, linguistic\, cultural\, and gender differences that foster a sense of respect and community.   \nThrough a myriad of mediums\, the pieces created in this exhibit reflect diversity and introduce our children to new methods of creative expression at the crossroads of literature and visual art.  \nGallery Hours:\nMon-Friday 10am-12pm & 1pm-3pm\nSaturday Apr 10th 10am-2pm\nFriday Apr 16th 4pm-7pm\nSaturday Apr 17th 10am-2pm\n– Due to Covid safety protocols\, appointments are suggested \nWith Thanks and Acknowledgement\nPoetry Month programs at Bethany Arts Community are sponsored by Theater O. \n

SUMMARY:Reincarnations: Finding the Past in the Present (Online Course)
DESCRIPTION:Every generation of artists wants to express its own ideas\, address its own issues\, and develop its own innovations. Modernists\, in particular\, felt that the great masterworks which had preceded them no longer “spoke” to the world in which they lived. Scholars often reinforce this idea by illustrating the differences between art eras and movements through processes of comparison and contrast. But we are all part of human culture. We also cannot “un-know” what we know. Try as we might\, we cannot pretend that art created in the “past” has not somehow figured art of the “present”. We might not receive\, perceive\, or interpret earlier works of art as someone from centuries ago might have done—but the humanity at their core remains highly relevant. In this series\, we will examine the ways in which the art of the past has remained very much alive in the present—either directly or indirectly. Art is an ongoing continuum. Great works of art remain alive forever. Join us on this journey to discover how—and why!\n\nJoin us at Bethany Arts Community for this fascinating 6-week art history Online Course lead by Jill Kiefer\, Ph.D.\nSix Sessions – Saturdays – 10:00 – 11:00 AM – February 13 – March 20\, 2021 \nREGISTER FOR ONLINE COURSE

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Hip Hop\, A Transformational Story with Diana "Princess" Lemon
DESCRIPTION:Join us February 21st @ 2 pm – 3 pm for a talk with Hip Hop Artist\, Diana “Princess” Lemon \nRegister for Webinar\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nAs a teenager Diana Lemon had been headed down the wrong path when she entered a music program for New York’s at-risk youth that encouraged her to write and rap about the issues affecting her life. Join us as she walks us through her life-changing experiences in the program and the stars she worked with along the way. \nAt the age of 15\, Diana joined The Hip Hop Project\, a NYC after school program\, funded by Russell Simmons’s Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation. The Hip Hop Project (Art Start) is an award-winning arts-based education organization that engages and empowers the voices of young people through innovative programming\, multimedia activism\, mentorship\, and community service projects. Her involvement created a foundation for her to explore and learn both the creative and business side of music. Before graduating from high school\, Diana was paving a path to success\, working as an intern at various companies such as Columbia Records\, PNB Nation\, Loud Records\, and The Source Magazine. After graduating from Ossining High School\, she developed her own music business workshop series called 90/10: Its More Business Than Music. Eventually\, Diana succeeded her mentor\, Chris “Kazi” Rolle\, and became Program Director of The Hip Hop Project. \nThese experiences prepared Diana for the roles she would play in the next phase of her life: that of advocate\, speaker\, and most importantly she says\, mother and caregiver. Diana takes care of\, and advocates daily on behalf of\, her daughter\, who underwent a Stem Cell transplant in December 2014. After her journey as a transplant patient caregiver\, Diana decided to work side by side with her District Senator David Carlucci and Assemblywoman Sandy Galef on Bill S1165 which enacts the “Dream’s Law.” Named after her daughter\, the law deems central venous lines as medically necessary\, helping to ensure that patients discharged from a hospital with a central venous line or other serious health needs will have access to a qualified medical caregiver. \nWith Thanks and Acknowledgement:\nThis program is sponsored by Ossining Innovates! and Cravin Jamaican Ossining\, NY \n  \n\n\n\n\nBethany Arts Community is supported by The National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts\, Arts Westchester and donations from our community.

SUMMARY:The Harlem Renaissance: A Golden Age
DESCRIPTION:The Harlem Renaissance holds the distinction of being the longest running movement in the history of art! Join us on Friday\, February 19th – 7:30 PM (1 hour) to celebrate its remarkable achievements with this Online Course facilitated by JILL KIEFER\, Ph.D. \nRegister\nThe term Harlem Renaissance refers to the prolific flowering of literary\, visual\, and musical arts within the African American community that emerged around 1920 in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. The visual arts were one component of a rich cultural development\, including many interdisciplinary collaborations\, where artists worked closely with writers\, publishers\, playwrights\, and musicians. There was no single style that defined the Harlem Renaissance. Rather\, artists found different ways to celebrate African American culture and identity and historical links that dignified and expanded the history of the African American experience. \nWith Thanks and Acknowledgement:\nThis program is sponsored by Ossining Innovates!

In addition\, they gain a deeper understanding – and appreciation – of their own communities and the wider world. \nOrganizational background\nArchForKids was established in 2013 by architects/educators Janny Gedeon and Karen Orloff and arts administrator Kathryn Slocum. It is a leading provider of STEAM (science/tech/engineering/art + design /math) programs in the New York metro area. ArchForKids also provides a range of virtual programs to audiences across the country and world. \nWhy architecture?\nArchitecture surrounds us – it is relevant\, easily accessible and tangible. Math\, science\, social studies and art/design are all embedded in the built world. Architecture is both an art and a highly technical field. Most kids like building things\, feeling the accomplishment of problem-solving and creating something interesting\, useful and beautiful. Architecture is a great medium for all kinds of learning and doing. \nMoreover\, the built world can be used to support school curriculum and to make connections between schools\, young people and the wider community. Involving children in design decisions about the places in which they live\, learn and play can produce inspiring buildings that instill a sense of ownership and civic engagement. \nOur process\nIn ArchForKids offerings\, young designers investigate\, explore\, measure\, estimate\, design\, draw\, calculate and construct. They go on neighborhood investigations\, design parks and dream houses\, propose uses for vacant lots\, and much more. Our architect-educators teach core academic subjects through projects that deepen student understanding of the built world. Through this “hands-on\, minds-on” approach to education\, we encourage students to use design thinking and to become critical thinkers\, creative makers and lifelong learners. ArchForKids programs are designed to: \n· Use the local community as a living classroom\n· Reach all styles of learners\n· Use the design process to solve problems and challenges\n· Sharpen STEAM content and knowledge\n· Introduce children to the tools and strategies used by architects and engineers\n· Extend/enrich school curricula and align with common core standards\n· Improve ELA skills through journal writing/sharing and presentation of work\n· Nurture knowledge and appreciation for the aesthetics\, history and function of communities\n· Expose young people to potential careers related to the built environment \nArchforkids programs and partners\nArchForKids programs include in-school residencies\, afterschool studios\, library and museum workshops\, all-day design challenges and more. We work with schools in New York City and Westchester County. ArchForKids has ongoing partnerships with the Brooklyn\, Queens\, New York and Westchester Public Libraries; City of Mount Vernon Youth Bureau\, Irvington Recreation department and Tarrytown Summer Arts Camp. ArchForKids has served as artists/educators in residence for the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian\, the Hudson River Museum (Yonkers) and the High Line in Manhattan. In September 2020\, we worked virtually with the nonprofit LEAD Coalition and the City of Panama City\, to lead a youth charrette in which teens re-imagined the parks in their community. \nBethany Arts Community is supported by The National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts\, Arts Westchester and donations from our community.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk:  Table Wizard Spinny Spin and the Separate 5 Mcs
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 13th at 5pm for an Artist Talk: Table Wizard Spinny Spin and the Separate 5 Mcs: The Untold Story of the beginning of Ossining Hip Hop Culture with Spencer Thomas \nRegister for Webinar\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nThe year was 1979 we formed our group The Separate 5 MCs. The group consisted of DJ Table Wizard Spinny Spin aka Roosevelt Keemer\, Little Tee aka Spencer Thomas\,  Mic Master Gee aka Wayne Gillespie\, and  Dazzy Dee aka Daniel Hawkins. We were known as the Jazzy 3 emcees. Along with MC Drew Za B aka Andrew Bazemore and Lord K Whan aka Stephen Daniels. They were called the PlayBoy MC‘s and together we formed the Separate 5 MCs. My family\, relatives\, and friends back in High School called me Spinny Spin\, and some family\, relatives\, and friends called me Little Tee. Even though DJ Wise was called Table Wizard Spinny Spin back then\, it was because he would spin the records for us. However\, the name Spinny Spin originated from me Spencer Thomas back then. I eventually took my name\, Spinny Spin back and Roosevelt our DJ who began practicing the Muslim faith became DJ Wise. As the Separate 5\, we performed at our Ossining High School events including the African-American Day Festival. \nWe performed at the Club Cortland Lounge\, the Ossining Sportsman Club\, and in the local parks and local venues. After we performed as a group getting our name out there\, we begin to perform throughout West Chester\, the Peekskill Canteen\, the White Plains Slater Center\,  Mt. Kisco Community Center\, the Yonkers Polish Community Center\, Mount Vernon\, the Spring Valley Camelot\, and in Portchester. Finally\, it was my cousin Carl Lucas Jr\, a DJ pioneer of Ossining and most well-known for his massive sound system called Music Master Production. He decided we needed to go down to New York on the big stage\, so he brought us down to Harlem World and that is where we performed in front of a huge crowd that included some of\, we’ll know Hip Hop famous people of today. The FORCE MC’s are now called the Force MDs. Kool Moe D\,  DJ AJ among others. We gave such a great performance at that point we felt we had made it to the big time. However\, more shows meant adulation and bigger egos. That would lead to our group as the Separate 5 returning to our two individual groups the Jazzy 3 and the PlayBoy MCs. Unfortunately\, as the group the Separate 5 we did not get a chance to record a record or put any of our rhymes and routines on a record. We also\, unfortunately\, did not perform on any records\, and to this very day\, we regret that. \n  \n\n\nWith Thanks and Acknowledgement:\nThis program is sponsored by Cravin Jamaican Ossining\, NY \nBethany Arts Community is supported by The National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts\, Arts Westchester and donations from our community.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Chigozie Obi Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Visual Artist\, Chigozie Obi\, via Facebook LIVE \nView Facebook LIVE\nChigozie Obi talks about the process and inspiration behind her general/residency work and how creating during the protests happening in her country was an escape\, activism and emotional dump for her. \nThe virtual residency helped Chigozie take her mind off the protests and events happening in her country at that point. Creating the work\, reading through the slack messages amongst fellow residency artists and interacting with other participants gave her some moments of peace admist the chaos. The feedback she got also helped Chigozie get corrections and know she was working on the right path. \nBio\nChigozie Obi (b. 1997) is a multi-dimensional visual artist who obtained a bachelors degree of Visual Arts from the Creative Arts department\, University of Lagos in 2017. Her work is consistent in the use of vibrant colors and figures to portray emotions and stories formed from personal experiences and focuses on the representation of Black/African people in their diversity. Her work has been featured in several group exhibitions and sales\, which include\, MoCada Museum’s silent auction (2019)\, Collective Renditions\, African Artists Foundation\, Lagos (2019)\, Rele in Lekki\, Lagos (2018)\, The Studio Scout\, Omenka Gallery\, Lagos (2018)\, The First Ibadan Affordable Art Fair (2018)\, Rasheed Gbadamosi Eko Art Expo (2017). She was selected as Arthouse Contemporary’s Artist of the month – July 2018 and one of the recipients of the inaugural Tilga Fund for Arts Grant (2020) \nHer work authenticates her keen interest for the human aspect of life\, the body\, beauty standards and the strive for self-acceptance. She aims to create sustained conversations about people and society – the cultural narratives adopted and how it affects people in it\, especially women. \nwww.chigozieobi.com \nPrograms at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Cherie Lee Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Visual Artist\, Cherie Lee\, via Facebook LIVE \nView Facebook LIVE\nAfter introducing us briefly to her work in a most unusual medium\, and revealing a meticulously detailed\, hand-carved ostrich eggshell Cherie completed during her time with Bethany Arts Community in October 2020\, she delves into how her residency was nearly derailed by an accidental\, wacky and stumbling foray into self discovery: full of complications\, hurdles and mistakes\, and dogged by doubt at every turn.  Here\, Cherie shares her personal evolution\, flaws and all\, as she abruptly struggles with how to market not only her unique art\, but also herself\, in an increasingly virtual world. \nBio \n\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.\nHaving 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 \nPrograms at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.

SUMMARY:American Modernism ONLINE: The Other Modern Art

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Andrea Vonbujoss Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist talk via Facebook LIVE:\nView Facebook LIVE\nAndrea will share an insider’s view of her process and show her works in progress. Andrea’s work includes colorful\, geometric and whimsical sculptures that are fabricated from wood\, cardboard\, wire\, clay and acrylic plastic.  Many of Andrea’s pieces are interactive\, such as\, benches\, arches and 3-dimensional words.  As an artist who works in the public realm as a muralist\, she has created over 100 murals and installations that can be seen in many parts of the country including\, Rikers Island in Queens and busy transportation hubs such at the 900-foot long tunnel at the 190th St. subway station in upper Manhattan.  \nAndrea will be expanding her visual vocabulary of complex patterns and typography\, and also creating new three-dimensional versions of her two-dimensional explorations of composition and form. While much of her work will be prepared before arriving at Bethany\, she will use her time here to explore weather-proof materials and experiment with installations. \nAbout the Artist\nAndrea von Bujdoss (AKA “Queen Andrea”) is a NYC-based fine artist\, graffiti artist\, typographer and graphic designer. A die-hard native New Yorker raised in downtown Manhattan\, Andrea has been deeply inspired by the urban landscape from an early age. Her style is consistently marked by a bold use of color\, design and advanced typography. As a young teen part of a newer generation of early 1990’s graffiti writers\, she befriended some of the most prolific old school subway graffiti writers and diligently taught herself the complicated artform of graffiti by consistently practicing her letters and eventually developing her own unique style. She earned a BFA in Graphic Design and began a successful career\, working for worldwide brands who appreciate her versatile and passionate knowledge of typography\, branding and visual communication. Her work has directly impacted graffiti\, streetwear and urban culture. Andrea has spent nearly 20 years perfecting her graffiti and typography skillsets and she is now an internationally notable female graffiti artist and muralist.  \nThe excitement\, color\, diversity and crazy energy of city life\, and especially graffiti\, is where Andrea finds her creative inspiration. Renegade cutting-edge artforms\, brash sub-cultures and lifestyles that have sprang forth from an ever-changing urban metropolis give her the visual stimulus\, the guts\, and the urge to create and innovate. Her artistic style is influenced by an endless appreciation of typography\, as well as themes of urban life\, song lyrics\, the advertising age\, pop culture\, geometry\, symbolism\, signpainter lettering and super bright color palettes. Andrea’s newest paintings are intricate and intense explorations of geometry\, color and form which create fantastical\, bright worlds of abstraction. Her new 3-dimensional works are exciting and tactile versions of her lively style\, in various sizes. Back in the streets\, Andrea has developed a reputation for her oversized typography murals. She has been featured in major art shows\, solo shows\, magazines\, books\, fashion lines\, brand collaborations and has curated and exhibited in numerous art shows around the world.   \n \nBethany Arts Community’s residency programs are made possible by ArtsWestchester with support from Westchester County Government
