With a sound built upon a strong foundation of drum and bass\, classic organ\, blistering vocals\, and an unshakeable horn section\, the band continues to thrill audiences with high energy performances and a modern interpretation of soulful music steeped in early R&B\, funk and soul. \nReleasing their debut EP The Tree House Sessions in 2023\, Tops of Trees hit the airwaves with WEXT\, WEQX\, and Unsigned 518\, resonating deeply with listeners on WEXT’s local songs of the year\, also earning them consecutive Capital Region Thomas Edison Award nominations (The Eddie’s) for “Jam Band of the Year”. \nSince then\, the band has continued to climb\, opening for Blues Traveler\, Joan Osborne and Ben Folds\, while also being featured on WMHT’s PBS show AHA!. Tops of Trees has showcased their electrifying performances at venues like Cohoes Music Hall\, Putnam Place\, Jive Hive Live\, and Saratoga Springs New Year’s Eve Festival.

She’s shared stages with the Goo Goo Dolls\, 10\,000 Maniacs\, Anna Nalick\, Dickie Betts\, and more. \nYou’ve heard Cassandra’s songs on TV\, from Lifetime to ESPN to ABC\, including 13 songs on hit show Dance Moms. She has collaborated on songs with luminaries like the Goo Goo Dolls\, Chris Botti\, 10\,000 Maniacs\, DJ Taz Rashid\, and even her personal music hero\, Billy Joel. \nHer songs have helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for important causes\, such as “Not So Different” for Autism (performed for the NY Islanders at Barclays Center) and “You Get Me” for pet rescue (performed at Broadway’s iconic 54 Below).  \nA fierce advocate for women in entertainment\, she was the composer and bandleader of Emmy-winning new media TV Show “The Never Settle Show” hosted by Mario Armstrong; served on the board of Women in Music for 8+ years; and serves as the youngest and only female artist on the Caffe Lena board in Saratoga Springs\, NY. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Pete Muller & The Kindred Souls\nBorn in New Jersey to immigrant parents\, Muller began playing piano as a teenager\, picking up regular gigs as an accompanist while excelling enough at his academic studies to earn acceptance to Princeton University. A math whiz with a preternatural gift for numbers\, he found himself fascinated with the connections between technology and finance\, and within a decade of graduating\, he’d helped revolutionize the field of quantitative trading\, which in turn transformed Wall Street as we know it. \n“Once I accomplished everything that I’d set out to do in the business world\, I realized that I hadn’t nurtured the artistic side of my life\,” Muller explains. “There was a six-year period where my focus was so intense that I hardly touched my piano. My work was a single-minded obsession.”  \nFeeling spiritually drained\, Muller began drifting away from his work for a period of equally intense focus on his music: busking in the subways\, playing small clubs and cafes\, and writing his own songs for the first time. After releasing a pair of early albums\, he married\, moved to California\, and became a father. While he eventually returned to the business he’d founded\, he remained as dedicated as ever to his craft. In 2014\, he recorded his third album\, Two Truths and a Lie\, which introduced him to Avatar Studios (a New York landmark previously known as The Power Station\, where icons like Bruce Springsteen\, Paul Simon\, David Bowie\, and Bob Dylan had recorded). Upon learning the studio was under threat of being sold and redeveloped as condos\, Muller decided to use his resources in partnership with the City of New York and the Berklee College of Music to save\, renovate\, and re-launch the space as a world-class recording and educational facility. He would go on to record his next two albums—2019’s Dissolve and 2022’s Spaces—there\, launching a whole new chapter of his career that would find him sharing bills with artists like Joan Osborne\, Jimmy Webb\, Livingston Taylor\, and Paul Thorn in addition to landing festival slots everywhere from Telluride to Montreux. \nThese days\, Muller is more content than ever\, embracing AND over OR as he splits his time between the East and West Coasts\, carving his own unique and inspiring path through the pair of vastly different\, yet ultimately complementary worlds he’s created for himself.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  “Cassandra Kubinski is very similar to the singer/songwriters of the late 70’s…proves that the genre (singer/songwriter) can still be transcendent.” – Billy Joel \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “I was immediately drawn to the passion Pete brings to every performance\,” says Ross-Spang\, who encouraged Muller to embrace a looser\, grittier approach in the studio built around live takes and free-flowing improvisation without the rigid constraints of a click track. “Joy truly abounds in his music\, and working with Pete reinforced those same feelings in me. I consider myself very lucky to have helped capture that feeling on his new record.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THEIR MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BURN IT DOWN (Official Music Video)\n \n \n \n \n \n Pete Muller & The Kindred Souls | “If I Had A Boat” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn More about Cassandra Kubinski\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn More about Pete Muller & The Kindred Souls URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/cassandra-kubinski-with-pete-muller-the-kindred-souls/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Shepard Park,Summer Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Cassandra-Pete.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250712T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250712T180000 DTSTAMP:20260416T192942 CREATED:20250707T193559Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250707T193602Z UID:19397-1752336000-1752343200@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Artist's Reception: Khaila Batts DESCRIPTION:Learn more URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/artists-reception-khaila-batts/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Batts-website1920-x-1080-px.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250709T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250709T203000 DTSTAMP:20260416T192942 CREATED:20250513T083039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250513T090625Z UID:18861-1752087600-1752093000@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:The Saline Fiddler's Philharmonic DESCRIPTION:Saline Fiddlers Philharmonic\nAmerica’s premier youth fiddling show band from Saline\, Michigan\, astounds audiences every time the group takes the stage. The musicians\, all from Saline High School\, present an energetic and polished show that features a diverse range of music from American folk\, fiddle\, bluegrass\, jazz\, western swing\, and Celtic traditions.  Spirited vocals and Appalachian step dancing combine with the instrumentals to create an unforgettable live performance. \nSaline Fiddlers Philharmonic began in 1994 with a simple idea: introduce an alternative style of music education to public school students to maintain and expand their interest in music performance.  Since then\, the group has definitely set the standard for extracurricular music programs in the United States. It has grown into a model of instruction and motivation that is being emulated across the nation. \nThe widely acclaimed Saline Fiddlers Philharmonic’s history includes more than 1\,500 performances in the majority of the states in our nation.  The group has been honored to perform three times at the White House and twice on the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center\, as well as at a State of Michigan’s Presidential Inaugural Ball.  Annual summer tours have spanned the United States from the east coast to the west coast\, down south to up north\, and have also included performances in Canada and tours in Europe\, including visits to Saline’s sister cities of Brecon\, Wales and Lindenberg\, Germany.  Each year the group performs 50-60 times\, generally donating a third of their annual schedule to community service events. \nSaline Fiddlers Philharmonic has shared the stage with many top artists as well as other student groups. Especially gratifying is the number of student fiddle organizations which have been started around the country because of inspiration from the Saline Fiddlers Philharmonic. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “The Saline Fiddlers Philharmonic were outstanding.

Hubby got his higher musical education started as a busker. He developed his guitar and vocal craft on the sidewalks and subway platforms of New York City\, performing material by those venerable artists whose work he was quickly absorbing. An ambitiously itinerant musician\, he took his show on the road\, playing the streets\, coffee shops\, bars\, and house parties of cities around the country. \nAfter years of busking around the U.S and making a name for himself\, Hubby became acquainted with the Carolina Chocolate Drops. He was an integral part of the Grammy award winning Carolina Chocolate Drops from 2010 to 2014. Since 2015 to 2018 he was active in touring and recording member in the Rhiannon Giddens band. He was on her album “Tomorrow Is My Turn” in 2015 and in 2017 “Freedom Highway.”  Drawing inspiration from legends such as Mississippi John Hurt\, Uncle Dave Macon and Lead Belly\, Hubby breathes new life into traditional blues and folk songs\, infusing them with his unique flair and unmistakable authenticity. His music resonates with a deep sense of history\, culture\, and struggle\, capturing the spirit of the early 20th century while adding his own distinct touch. \nIn addition to his remarkable musical talents\, Hubby Jenkins is a passionate advocate for preserving and honoring the cultural heritage of African American musicians who laid the foundation for modern popular music. His commitment to historical accuracy shines through in his performances\, as he takes us on a journey through the deep roots of blues\, folk\, and the African American experience. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n HIS MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Hubby Jenkins playing Coo Coo Bird – Rufus Kasey’s version\n \n \n \n \n \n ​”Here Here Yonder Go” – Hubby Jenkins\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn More about Hubby Jenkins URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/hubby-jenkins/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Shepard Park,Summer Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2025-Summer-Concert-Series-website-events.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250702T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250702T120000 DTSTAMP:20260416T192942 CREATED:20250607T181237Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250607T181337Z UID:19109-1751450400-1751457600@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Balancing Ecosystems: Art and Science on the Floating Classroom DESCRIPTION: \nWednesday\, July 2nd10:00 AM – 12:00 PM\nEnjoy a two-hour cruise on the Lake George Association’s Floating Classroom!\nAll ages are invited to participate inguided science explorations and art making!\nThis collaboration is part of the Balancing Ecosystems exhibition in The Courthouse Gallery.\n \nTickets must be purchased from the Lake George Association.\nSee the link below or visit lakegeorgeassociation.org. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Buy Tickets through the LGA website\n \n Learn More about Balancing Ecosystems URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/balancing-ecosystems-art-and-science-on-the-floating-classroom/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FLCL1920-x-1080-px.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250629T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250629T160000 DTSTAMP:20260416T192942 CREATED:20250607T174334Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250607T174805Z UID:19098-1751202000-1751212800@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:SUNDAY ARTS: Sun Prints DESCRIPTION:See the exhibitionBalancing Ecosystems\nGallery Tour and Art-Making Opportunity for All Ages!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn More about Balancing Ecosystems URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/sunday-arts-sun-prints/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/CYANOTYPE-6.29-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250628T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250628T180000 DTSTAMP:20260416T192942 CREATED:20250607T191419Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250607T191422Z UID:19121-1751126400-1751133600@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Artists' Reception: Balancing Ecosystems DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Courthouse Gallery between 4:00 and 6:00 PMon Saturday\, July 28th to meet the artists ofBalancing Ecosystems\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn More about Balancing Ecosystems URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/artists-reception-balancing-ecosystems/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/blue-ghost-trawler.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250621T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250702T170000 DTSTAMP:20260416T192942 CREATED:20250607T172411Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250612T201453Z UID:19035-1750507200-1751475600@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Balancing Ecosystems DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Events\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tickets for the Floating Classroom July 2nd\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Balancing Ecosystems\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The exhibition Balancing Ecosystems features the work of four artists: Lauren Comito\, Milcah Bassel\, Amanda Thackray\, and Rachel Frank. Their multimedia artworks invite viewers to explore the visible\, hidden\, and symbolic aspects of natural beauty found in aquatic environments. Each artist expresses ideas of interconnection between organisms within ecosystems through imagery such as grids\, nets\, and repeating patterns. \nThis idea for this curated exhibition was conceived after visual artist Lauren Comito received a Community Art Grant from the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council in 2025. The New York City and Huletts Landing-based visual artist used this grant to examine and portray copepods\, tiny crustacean zooplankton\, along with aquatic plants found in Lake George\, bringing to light the interconnected systems that contribute to the purity of the lake. \nComito enlarges the scale of these microscopic organisms through cyanotype prints\, making them visible. The images reveal the delicate and intricate structures of these tiny creatures that play an essential role in filtering and purifying the water\, elevating them to the status of “guardians of the lake.” \nMilcah Bassel\, whose work has been exhibited at the Rubin Museum of Art\, Bronx Museum of the Arts\, and other venues both nationally and internationally\, applies unique materials and processes to explore both cultural and natural structures. Her pieces in the exhibition are inspired by the use of a grid to represent water in ancient civilizations\, creating intersecting rippling patterns on unique pulp papers. \nAmanda Thackray\, who is currently the inaugural Environmental Protection Agency Artist in Residence for the lower Passaic River in New Jersey\, also utilizes grid patterns in handmade paper designs that combine notions of nature\, industry\, and human experience. Her netlike imagery is a malleable grid referencing both organic material and human intervention within an environment. \nBrooklyn-based artist and wildlife rehabilitator Rachel Frank employs various material processes\, including ceramics\, fabric\, and drawing. The material transformations that occur in the art-making process mirror the restorative processes that take place in the healing of lives and habitats. The repeating patterns in her work express the interconnections and exchanges between species. \nImages:Top: Lauren Comito\, PostcardMiddle left:  Rachel Frank\, Wading Foot Tangle (detail)\, 2024\, Ink\, watercolor\, and pigment on paper\, 11″ x 15″Middle right: Milcah Bassel\, Untitled (detail)\, 2024\, Color pencil on black Fabriano paper\, 9″ x 12″ \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/balancing-ecosystems/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Balancing-Eco-event.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250618T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250618T210000 DTSTAMP:20260416T192942 CREATED:20250424T170916Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250618T084649Z UID:18304-1750271400-1750280400@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:The Speakeasy Cruise DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 18\, 2025 \nBoarding at 6:30pmCruise from 7pm – 9pmAboard Waterfront Cruises’ – Adirondac2 Kurosaka Ln\, Lake George\, NY \n \n \n \n \n \n Shhhhhhhhh……….\n… got the password?

My work continues this tradition while speaking to contemporary concerns about presence and interaction. I rely on formal content – the meaning extends from color relationships and mark-making\, while engaging with feminist art’s tradition of challenging hierarchical distinctions between abstract and embodied experience. \nWhile the forms in my paintings and sculpture often echo natural and floral shapes\, they deliberately play with and subvert traditionally ‘feminine’ imagery. My sinuous lines and flower-like forms are exaggerated and transformed into something more ambiguous and challenging – sometimes even unsettling. My work takes stereotypically ‘feminine’ organic shapes and makes them monumental\, unavoidable\, and slightly alien. These forms don’t politely decorate – they command space and demand engagement. \nMy recent work explores the choreography of pattern and void. The pieces float and interact like notes in a visual score\, creating rhythms through both color and shape. While I embrace traditionally ‘feminine’ colors like pink\, I deliberately disrupt their sweetness by introducing structural elements and unexpected color combinations. The negative spaces become as important as the forms themselves\, turning the white wall into an active participant in the composition. This interplay between structure and fluidity\, presence and absence\, reflects my interest in how ‘feminine’ imagery can be both acknowledged and challenged within the same piece. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n My early training in dance continues to influence how I think about space\, movement\, and the body’s relationship to its position. Each installation becomes a kind of choreographed environment where forms perform in space\, creating temporal experiences that unfold as viewers move through them. The suspended pieces in particular engage in a slow dance with gravity\, while their shadows create an ever-changing performance on walls and floors. This understanding of movement and spatial relationships informs everything from my initial drawings to final installation decisions. \nBio\nAdria Arch is a mixed media artist living and working in Arlington\, Massachusetts. She is interested in creating immersive experiences with sculpture and paint\, using hand-cut or laser-cut lightweight polystyrene plastic to create sculptural forms that populate my large-scale colorful installations. Her work references the things seen every day- from neighborhood flower gardens to the ever-growing skyline of Boston. She has a vocabulary of shapes that includes ladders\, grids\, and spirals. The installations of hanging painted sculptures are whimsical\, playful spaces that provide an experience of both delight and surprise. \nArch has had solo exhibitions at Danforth Art in Framingham\, MA\, the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury\, MA\, and the Hunt Gallery at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia. She has completed site specific murals at Lesley University’s Porter Square building in Cambridge\, MA\, Stonehill College\, and Danforth Art in Framingham\, MA. Arch has been awarded residencies at Vermont Studio Center\, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts\, Sanskriti Foundation in Delhi\, and in Auvillar\, France. Her work is included in many private and public collections including the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum\, Fidelity Corporation\, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. In 2019 her work was featured at the Fitchburg Art Museum\, and in 2020 at the Cahoon Museum of American Art. Most recently\, Arch was commissioned by Google to do a room-sized installation. Arch showed installations at the Boston Sculptors Gallery\, Brattleboro Art Museum in Vermont and the Danforth Museum in Framingham\, MA. Her work will be on view at the San Luis Obispo Art Museum in 2025. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Images:Top: Detail\, Holding the Center 4\, 2025\, Acrylic on synthetic paper\, 8′ x 4′Right top:  Shape of Things\, 2025\, Acrylic on polystyreneRight bottom:  Holding the Center 4\, 2025\, Acrylic on synthetic paper\, 8′ x 4′ URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/airwaves-painting-and-sculpture-by-adria-arch/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Arch-detail-1920-x-1080-px.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250510T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250510T170000 DTSTAMP:20260416T192942 CREATED:20250218T131744Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250218T131746Z UID:17409-1746874800-1746896400@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Spring for the Arts Golf Tournament DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Reception: Seth Butler – Mending the Path\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get ready to tee off for a good cause!

Claiming dual citizenship as an Iranian and North American\, he has spent much of his life on the east coast and in Michigan. \nElami works exclusively on paper in an often limited palette\, with the resulting works resembling prints or bookplates. They appear to be timeless\, as if found from a remote past in a secret library. Each piece resembles the type of anthropological or archeological drawings made to document temples\, palaces\, sacrificial sites\, or necropolises found in jungles\, and not fully understood by their discoverers. Elami\, in depicting undefined architectural sites of relics or ruins\, allows us to dream of uses both sacred and profane; to explore the tension between human design and nature on the verge of reclaiming its primacy. Elami’s latest art has developed in tandem with an understanding of the earliest architecture as numinous altars\, and a perception of nature as a roiling mass of aggressive life\, perpetuating itself through overabundance. In this vision\, architecture manifested out of violent\, spiritual rituals\, externalizing what is internal. Elami sees architecture\, revitalized with its primitive and mythopoeic qualities\, as a portal back to a cosmos overflowing with meaning and mystery. \n  \n \n LEARN MORE ABOUT ARIO ELAMI'S WORK\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Images from top\nWorld Machine III\, Colored Pencil\, pen and watercolor on paperWorld Machine II\, Colored Pencil\, pen\, and watercolor on paperTemple to a Fungal Spirit\, Colored pencil\, pen\, and watercolor on paper\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Courthouse Gallery\n1 Lower Amherst StreetLake George\, NY 12845518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PMSaturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PMSundays: 12:00 – 4:00 PM (June – September)Select Sundays Monthly (October – May)\nOr give us a call if you are in town.

After living 30 years in the Adirondack Mountains\, she and her husband have relocated and established their studio in Altamont\, New York.Her explorations in art making are varied. Ms. DeAngelo studied Fine Art at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Her concentrations were in Painting and Printmaking. She graduated with a BFA and went on to earn her MSEd from Potsdam College. Working with children has been a passion and inspiration for Ms. DeAngelo. Having taught hundreds of young artists over her career\, Ms. DeAngelo shares their love of exploration and discovery.In addition to teaching art in the classroom setting\, Ms. DeAngelo has facilitated murals\, art clubs\, and community art enrichment programs. Ms. DeAngelo has worked in large scale installation\, mural painting\, studio painting\, sculpture\, printmaking\, fabric arts and jewelry creation. She is a member of the Schenectady Art Society\, Albany Artists Group\, Firehouse Painters and ArtWorks. As a studio artist\, she was an Artist in Residence at Arlene’s Artist Materials for two years\, where she is now a One-on-One Mentor for artists. She continues her explorations of the intersections between personal history and plant forms using printmaking\, painting and stitching. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Statment:\nEach of the paintings in this show contains scraps of my life. Some are precious\, my parents’ love letters and my grandfather’s college notes\, while others are more common\, the bits of a mylar birthday balloon or a piece of paint stained paper towel I cleaned my tools with. The “canvas” of the works are playing cards\, each collaged with life pieces held together with paint. Some I have stitched together\, a skill learned from my mother\, that I find myself returning to in cycles within my creative life. The stitches are a tool I used to combine the parts of these works and “draw” with line and color.When creating this body of work\, I gave myself the challenge to limit the color palette of the backgrounds to five colors that I used in varied amounts in every piece in the show. These colors are the bridge between the bits of life collage and the final layer of flora. I chose to create images of flowers because their lifespan is short and is impacted by the environment they bloom in. There is an external beauty in flowers\, but also a beauty in the internal workings that we do not see\, allowing them to grow\, adapt and create food.  I believe that our lives and our sense of self are stitched together from the interactions and environments we have experienced and the actions we choose going forward. We are a quilt of our past and present\, the beautiful parts along with the torn and damaged. We can look for the beauty in the small moments and create change to improve our lives and that of others. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Project Localat theCaldwell-Lake George Library336 Canada StreetLake George\, NY518-668-2528\n  \nHours:Weekdays:  10:00 AM – 5:00 PMSaturdays: 10:00 AM – 2:00PM\n\n  \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/17624/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Project-Local-1920-x-1080-px-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250222T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250222T150000 DTSTAMP:20260416T192942 CREATED:20250129T202713Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250205T192123Z UID:17189-1740220200-1740236400@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Winter Carnival Winter Arts: Maker Space!

Drawing from my childhood in Auroville\, India—a commune founded on utopian ideals of perfect humanity—I explore the alluring facade of a perfect place that ultimately reveals humanity’s capacity for violence. \nI grew up in Auroville\, an experimental township in India devoted to human unity\, founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (“the Mother”) and designed by architect Roger Anger. Living there for 8 years\, I attended Transition School\, where my education focused on our connection with the surrounding environment\, emphasizing notions of awareness and empathy. Leaving Auroville and traveling with my mother\, I became fascinated by the contrasting reality behind the idealized image I grew up with. \nMy work is dedicated to questioning our traditional painting heritage\, referencing and altering both landscape painting and classical interior décor imagery. I paint on used fabrics that have flower or plant pattern reminiscent of traditional bourgeois interiors. Staining and cutting these fabrics\, I deliberately alter and disrupt their original visibility. Referencing movements like the Hudson River School and 18th- and 19th-century European landscape painting\, I adapt my painting crafting fragmented and decaying landscapes. My landscapes are strange yet familiar\, inviting viewers to lose themselves in this illusory sense of peace and calm. Here\, the boundaries blur between pleasure and harm\, beauty and destruction\, challenging us to question how these notions coexist. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Artist \nLola Lefrançois is a French artist based in New York City. Inspired by her childhood in the commune of Auroville\, India\, she explores the intricate relationship between humanity\, nature\, and violence.

His love of art and the outdoors led him to the life of a photographer\, and although he worked in many fields of photography\, landscape photography is his real love. His early work was influenced by photographers Edward Weston\, Ansel Adams\, Minor Whyte\, and Wynn Bullock.  \nHe soon developed his own style which was more personal and abstract.  Most of his early work was done with a 4 x 5 View Camera shooting black and white; today he works with digital cameras in both black and white and color. \nHe was awarded a grant to photograph in Antarctica in 2015. Previous exhibitions include: Little Church Gallery\, NJ After Image Gallery\, Dallas\, TX The Courthouse Gallery\, Lake George Various galleries in Florida Publications: Southwest Photo Dallas Photo Adirondack Life \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Reception at the Caldwell-Lake George LibraryMonday\, February 10th6:00 – 8:00 PM \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Statement \nThe work you will see in this exhibition covers many years.  As a landscape photographer\, my work includes anything that I find beautiful.  My favorite subjects include the Southwest\, ice\, river foam\, and water reflections\, all of which you can see here. I really like pictures that make you think and take a while to figure out. As my perception of the world around me changes\, so will my photos!  Enjoy! \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n Images: Top: Detail\, Ice Curtain Left: Fall Aspens \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Caldwell-Lake George Library336 Canada StreetLakeGeorge\, NY 12845518-668-2528 URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/project-local-vincent-woolley-photographs-through-march-1st/ LOCATION:The Caldwell Lake George Library\, 336 Canada St\, Lake George\, New York\, 12845 CATEGORIES:Project Local Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Woolley-ice-curtain-1920-x-1080-px.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241218T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241218T193000 DTSTAMP:20260416T192942 CREATED:20241126T193856Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241126T194538Z UID:16597-1734544800-1734550200@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Artist's Reception for Jude Dolton at the Caldwell-Lake George Library DESCRIPTION:Meet Project Local photographer Jude Dolton\, see the action paintings by Mark Grimaldi\, and enjoy light refreshments at the Caldwell-Lake George Library. \n \n Learn more about this exhibition URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/artists-reception-for-jude-dolton-at-the-caldwell-lake-george-library/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/JudeProjectlocalevent-Post-1920-x-1080-px-1.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
