He is fascinated by their variety in size and amenities: some highlight past history; some are peaceful settings with gardens\, and are family friendly; others are mall-like\, selling goods; some are simple with only a picnic table and a trashcan.  They are necessary places\, all sharing a common goal: “…off-road spaces with provisions for emergency stopping and resting by motorists for short periods” (A Policy on Safety Rest Areas for the National System of Interstate
and Defense Highways\, 1958). After earning his undergraduate degree\, O’Neil took a job that had him driving a box truck across the Eastern United States several times a year. Rest areas became a vital part of his driving experience.  He says: “Like a draftsman’s line across a white sheet of paper\, highways and interstates paint sweeping arcs and pin-straight lines across the landscape. Multiple midpoints exist on these lines; they’re called rest areas\, travel plazas\, picnic areas\, pit stops\, or welcome centers. Even with the constant drone of traffic\, these are areas of comfort and serenity. There is a structure and plan that makes sense; we breathe\, and our weary bodies relax a little bit. These places are interesting and useful physically\, sociologically\, and emotionally.” \nRob O’Neil earned his BFA with a concentration in photography from the University of Akron\, Ohio and his MFA in Cinema and Photography from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. His work has been exhibited at many regional galleries and museums\, including Esther Massry Gallery; Albany Center Galleries; Albany Institute of History and Art; Opalka Gallery; University at Albany Museum; and Albany International Airport Gallery\, all located in Albany\, NY; The Arts Center of the Capital Region\, Troy\, NY; Saratoga Arts\, Saratoga Springs\, NY; and the Schenectady Museum\, Schenectady\, NY. His work has also traveled to many universities throughout the country\, including Siena College\, University of Akron\, Florida International University\, University of Nevada\, and the University Museum Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.  His awards include a NYFA Special Opportunity Stipend Grant; numerous College Professional Development Grants\, as well as an Artists and Scholars Grant\, both through the College of St. Rose. He is a three-time recipient of a Mohawk Hudson Regional Purchase Award\, one for the University at Albany University Museum\, and two for the Schenectady Museum.  He currently lives in Albany\, NY and is an Assistant Professor of Photography at The College of Saint Rose in Albany\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust\, Adirondack Studios\, The Community Exchange Foundation\, a Professional Development Grant through the College of St Rose\, and theNew York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

Krebs says this “stoic folk Victorian structure exudes strength and protection as a community strong hold. While teaching locally and living in the school house\, my dream was to find out more about the space\, since a lot of information was undocumented oral history.  Notable Metropolitan opera singer Madam Homer was known to sing at the school house every Sunday during summer months. Georgia O’Keeffe was known to take walks on Middle road\, as told by local\, Clara Mae Norton.  Another notable neighbor was Edward Morse Shepard\, the man that Shepard Park\, in the Village of Lake George\, is named after. He also built and lived in what is known as Erlowest\,right down the hill from the school house.  The works in the exhibition are a spin off from a recipe book compiled in 1910 by the ladies of the ‘Lend a hand’ club that used the building as a meeting place after hours and on weekends\, working to find ways to help the community. The recipes they compiled were the catalyst for each image in the exhibit. Recipes were submitted by local community members\, as well as seasonal residents.” \nBetsy Krebs earned her M.S. in Art Education from the College of Saint Rose in Albany\, NY. Her work has been featured in many solo and group exhibitions throughout the NY North Country\, including the Albany Boys Academy in Albany\, NY; the College of Saint Rose; the Gibson Gallery in Potsdam College\, Potsdam\, NY; the Cool Beans Cafe Gallery in Queensbury NY; Valley Artisans Gallery in Cambridge\, NY; The Hyde Museum in Glens Falls\, NY; the Saratoga Arts Center\, Saratoga\, NY; Adirondack Community College\, Queensbury\, The Lake Placid Center for the Arts and L.A.R.A.C. Arts Gallery in Glens Falls\, NY. \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. This exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

I want the paintings to feel rambunctious. Extravagant. Unruly.”   The works glisten\, due to a unique painting process incorporating many layers. Using polyethylene coated paper\, he creates a “skin” with a variety of abstract shapes\, swirls\, plaids\, and stripes that he later cuts\, scores or carves. He’ll create dozens of these “skins\,” more than he’ll need\, finally peeling off individual shapes from the plastic\, incorporating them into his paintings.  He says: “I begin to peel them off the poly\, and I place them\, compose them. But the whole process is front-to-back. It’s the opposite of the conventional way of layering an image. The first skins I lay down will appear as the front layer of the painting.”  Many works are inspired by the natural world around him\, near his home in Keene\, NY. \nFrank Owen was born in Kalispell\, Montana in 1939\, but spent much of his childhood in Woodland City\, west of Sacramento\, California. He received his B.A. and his M.A. from the University of California at Davis\, where he received a Regents Fellowship in 1967-1968. He was twice awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1978-79 and in 1989-90. Owen’s work has been shown in galleries\, museums and universities throughout the United States and Europe.  For many years he has shown his work at Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York City. He lives and works in the Adirondack Mountains\, in Keene\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust\, Adirondack Studios\, The Community Exchange Foundation\, and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment.

They also capture a sense of a place – depicting the house on the hill or the giant oak tree in the neighborhood – as well as capturing significant and dramatic moments from news headlines. Adolph Rosenblatt passed in February of 2017 at the age of 83. At that time Jim Higgins from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote “Rosenblatt started out painting two-dimensionally\, but with a palette knife rather than brushes. The thickness of those paintings led him to sculpting in beeswax\, then casting in bronze. When the cost of bronze prompted him to look for an alternative\, he took inspiration from his sons’ schoolboy projects and began working in clay. But he retained a painter’s passionate concern with color.”  Milwaukee Sentinel art critic Dean Jensen wrote in 1982: “The longer one studies Rosenblatt’s clay works … the more they suggest Expressionist pictures that somehow left the canvas and took on a third dimension. \nAdolph Rosenblatt was born in New Haven\, CT\, 1933. He earned his BFA from Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1956. While at Yale he studied with art world luminaries Josef Albers\, James Brooks\, and Bernard Chaet. He was a beloved and celebrated Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for over 30 years. He had numerous solo exhibitions throughout the country\, most recently “Moments & Markers”\, a major retrospective exhibit at the Jewish Museum\, Milwaukee. Other solo shows include exhibitions at Lill Street Gallery\, Chicago; Tibor de Nagy Gallery\, NY; Anderson Art Museum\, Kenosha\, WI; Milwaukee Art Museum\, Haggerty Art Museum\, Marquette University Gallery of Wisconsin Art; Charles Allis Art Museum; and Peltz Gallery\, all in Milwaukee\, WI. His work was included in group exhibitions at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum\, Providence\, RI; Yale School of Design Gallery\, New Haven\, CT; Forum Gallery\, New York\, NY; Kohler Art Center\, Sheboygan\, WI; Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry; Objects Gallery\, Chicago\, IL; Tibor de Nagy Gallery\, NY; Dean Jensen Gallery\, and Peltz Gallery\, both in Milwaukee\, WI. His awards include Wisconsin Arts Board Grant\, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\, Research Award\, Midwest Arts Fellowship. In 2013 he was given a Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Award. His work is in the collections of the Library of Congress\, Ft Wayne Museum of Art\, Carlisle Museum of Art\, Williamstown Museum\, and Milwaukee Art Museum. \n \nJoshua Rosenblatt\, son of Adolph\, often works in a series\, building on a theme by drawing from life\, which is later expanded and completed in his studio. His most recent works are charcoal on paper drawings that record his day-to-day life experiences. His work as Director of Collections and Exhibitions Preparation at the Whitney Museum in NYC often finds him traveling to install exhibitions throughout the US\, Europe\, Russia\, and Asia. His travels resulted in a series of work observing people in public spaces\, such as airport terminals\, and another set of drawings depicting hotel room interiors. Other themes developed through observing the changing light and shadows on an exterior wall of his home over the course of several years\, views from his daily commute to work\, as well the view through his car window. His reflections of seemingly “mundane” places\, be it from business travel\, or walks through his neighborhood\, celebrate the easily lost details of how light\, reflections\, patterns\, and human gestures\, create a unique mood and sense of place. Much like his father\, Joshua’s drawings\, ranging from big and bold to light and delicate\, share a compassion for humanity in their sensitivity in depicting people\, recognizing the nuance of places\, and much that is overlooked in a “busy” world. \nJoshua Rosenblatt earned his BFA from SUNY Purchase in 1986. Recent exhibitions include his third solo show at The RE Institute in Millerton\, NY\, a 2000 square foot exhibition space\, where he displayed a number of large-scale drawings. His work has been included in group exhibitions at Brooklyn Cider House\, The Williamsburg Art and Historical Center\, Shim\, Paper Box\, Brooklyn Fireproof\, Arthelix – all located in Brooklyn\, NY; Charles Allis Art Museum\, Gallery of Wisconsin\, J.C.C. Gallery\, all located in Milwaukee\, WI; White Box\, New York\, NY; One Mile Gallery\, Kingston\, NY; and Portland Gallery of Art\, Portland\, ME. He lives and works in Astoria\, NY. \nWhile we feature here the work of these two members of the Rosenblatt family\, this is a family of accomplished creative poets and painters: Suzanne\, Adolph’s wife\, and Joshua’s mother\, is a poet and visual artist; Adolph’s daughter Sarah is a poet; Eli\, Joshua’s twin brother\, is also a painter. The family also has close ties to Lake George\, having vacationed in the region for many years. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust\, Adirondack Studios\, The Community Exchange Foundation\, and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

A number of participating artists will join curator Laura Von Rosk and scientists Joan Bernhard and Sam Bowser to discuss the importance of Joan’s research\, as well as the challenges and insights resulting from this year-long art/science dialogue\, and their endeavors in artistic creations and interdisciplinary connections. Both events are FREE and open to the public. \nA major theme in the biological sciences is the way in which organisms adapt to environmental extremes. The Santa Barbara Basin is a bowl-shaped geological formation off the coast of Santa Barbara\, California. Limited movement of water in this depression has created an environment severely depleted of oxygen. In such a place it would be surprising to find organisms that need oxygen to live\, yet scientists have documented the existence of foraminifera\, a type of single-celled organism\, living there in abundance. How have foraminifera adapted to an oxygen-deprived environment? For that matter\, how do anyorganisms respond to living in such extreme environments? These questions fuel the research of Dr. Joan Bernhard\, from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute\, and her colleagues in their study of this natural “dead zone” in the ocean. The exhibition “Adaptations to Extremes” presents work by a group of artists engaged with the scientists involved in this research\, as well as samples of their communications over the course of this ongoing project. \nOne group of artists explored the theme specifically using the “optics” of Dr. Bernhard’s research. These artists made new work based on correspondence with Dr. Bernhard and her colleague Sam Bowser\, scientific advisor to the exhibition. They were offered access to technical reports\, photographs\, and the researchers’ hypotheses. One artist\, Terry Conrad\, was invited to accompany and assist Dr. Bernhard’s crew last spring aboard the Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s Robert Gordon Sproul research vessel as they sampled the sea floor in the Santa Barbara Basin. \nA second group of artists — selected for the exhibition because of their interest in the biological or marine sciences – had already produced original works germane to the broad theme of adaptation. \nDr. Bowser engaged with all the artists by questioning them on their artworks using the scientific method of hypothesis testing. The resulting dialogues in both groups – artists responding to scientific research\, and scientists responding to artworks – were often surprising\, sometimes amusing\, and always thoughtful and fascinating. \nWhat informs both the work of science and art is a spirit of inquiry and imagination.  Equally\, both disciplines must embrace their sometimes perplexing results — and then dive in and ponder further. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust; Adirondack Studios; the Community Exchange Foundation; Mannix Marketing; the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute; and the National Science Foundation.

His works are both poignant and humorous\, intelligent and sharp-witted examinations of the “human condition\, such as life and death\, love and loss\, evolution and creationism\, comedy and tragedy\, fame and anonymity\, conflict and harmony\, and morality and immorality.” \nHe explains: “I have spent the past two decades traveling throughout the country visiting museums\, large cities\, small towns\, national parks\, civil war battlefields\, assassination sites\, graveyards\, and national monuments. I am a lifelong student of the vast profundity of American music as well as a glutton for American history\, literature\, western painting\, film\, comic strips\, and cartoons; all of which have consumed my nights and days. These interests and practices are harvested and used within my process to create an intertextuality in the paintings.” \nCirmo was born in Utica\, NY and completed his first two years of college at Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute. He earned his B.F.A. in Painting and Drawing from the College of Saint Rose in Albany\, NY\, and an M.F.A. in Painting and Drawing from the State University of New York at Albany. Cirmo has had multiple solo exhibitions including recent shows at the Burrell Roberts Triangle Gallery\, Sinclair College in Dayton\, OH; the Rice Gallery\, McDaniel College in Westminster\, MD; and the Wilson Art Gallery\, Le Moyne College in Syracuse\, NY. He has appeared in numerous group exhibitions in museums and galleries across the country including: Mills Gallery\, Boston Center for the Arts in Boston\, MA; The Hyde Collection Museum in Glens Falls\, NY; Kellogg Gallery\, Cal Poly University in Pomona\, CA; and Antenna Gallery\, New Orleans\, LA. His awards include an Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency in Granville\, NY; the 2017 Mona Ruth Brickman Artist of the Year Award from Albany Center Gallery; a 2009 and 2013 Juror’s award at the Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region; and in 2009 and 2015 a University at Albany Purchase Award at the Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region Exhibition. His work is in the collections of University Art Museum in Albany; Siena College; and the College of Saint Rose. \nCirmo lives and works in Albany\, NY and Syracuse\, NY and is an Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Onondaga Community College. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z.

These three-dimensional\, irregularly-shaped works range from descriptive to abstract\, all rooted in landscape. He says: “Throughout my career the landscape has been my primary inspiration. For over fifteen years I have been incorporating the unique characteristics of encaustic paint (beeswax) into my work and continue to find new applications for this incredibly versatile and seductive medium. Being a lifelong resident of the Hudson River Valley\, I am very much drawn to the long history of American landscape painting and see my work as part of that continuum.” \nJosh Brehse earned his BFA in Painting from Boston University and MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College\, Montpelier\, VT. His work has been exhibited at a number of galleries throughout the Northeast region\, including Gallery at Rhinebeck\, Rhinebeck\, NY; Andrea Keogh Gallery\, Litchfield CT; Carrie Haddad Gallery\, Hudson\, NY; Atwater Gallery\, Rhinebeck\, NY; Hudson Mohawk Regional at the Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls (2013); Albany Institute of History\, Albany NY; Hudson Opera House\, Hudson\, NY; Woodstock School of Art\, Woodstock\, NY; Diane Birdsall Gallery\, Old Lyme CT; Vermont College\, Montpelier\, VT; The Stage Gallery\, Merrick\, NY ; Boylan Gallery\, Rhinebeck; and the Barrett Art Center\, Poughkeepsie\, NY. \n  \nMatt Chinian\n \nMatt Chinian is a prolific landscape painter\, working in oil. Matt travels throughout upstate New York seeking subjects – both urban and rural. Working quickly on site (usually less than 2 hours per painting) allows him to capture fleeting atmospheric light conditions. He says: “Like a reporter I record time and place of my wanderings around Upstate New York and New England. I find places and scenes that fascinate me: quiet woodland or gas station\, farmland or industrial site\, places I see in passing\, sometimes from the corner of my eye often times easily overlooked. This is where I find the beauty and the sublime.” \nMatt Chinian earned his BA in Sculpture and painting at Bennington College\, Bennington\, VT and 1988 MFA in Sculpture and Drawing at the University at Albany\, State University of New York\, Albany NY. His work has been exhibited at many venues throughout the region\, including The Laffer Gallery Schuylerville NY; Amp Galleries\, Saratoga Springs  NY; Landscapes for Landsake\,  Coila\, NY; Saratoga Springs Public Library; Folk Life Center\, Crandall Library\, Glens Falls\, NY; Salem Art Works\, Salem\, NY; Saratoga Springs Visitors Center; Uncommon Grounds\, Albany\, NY; Goodrich Gallery\, Williams College\, Williamstown\, MA; Munson Williams Proctor\, Utica\, NY; Everson Museum of Art\, Syracuse\, NY; SUNY Albany\, Albany\, NY; and The Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls\, NY. \n\nKellyann Monaghan \n \nKellyann Monaghan’s dramatic paintings and mono-prints are inspired by nuances of light\, atmosphere and weather. Her recent works maintain a painterly directness in depicting catastrophic weather and its effect on the landscape and human made structures\, evoking a sense of both anxiety and awe of natural phenomena. She says: “Stormy weather and extreme climate conditions permeating the natural landscape have become a new trajectory in my painting. The surface of the paintings erupts with textured and expressive gestural marks\, which are depictions of radical weather events. The weather is instinctive inspiration for my tendencies as an alla prima (wet on wet) painter.” \nKellyann Monaghan earned her BFA in Painting from Moore College of Art and Design\, Philadelphia\, PA and MFA in Painting\, from Brooklyn College\, Brooklyn\, NY. Her recent solo exhibitions include Artist of the Month\, Edward Hopper Art Center\, Nyack\, NY; Brooklyn Landscapes\, Exhibit Salon\, Brooklyn\, NY; Cityscapes: Rivers\, Bridges and Towers\, Piermont Straus Gallery\, Piermont\, NY; Recent French Landscapes\, St. Asaph’s  Gallery\, Philadelphia\, PA; Landscapes\, Earlville Opera House Gallery\, Earlville\, NY. Her awards include a La Muse Artist Residencyat Labastide Esparbaireneque\, France; an Exhibition Grantfrom the Lower Manhattan Cultural Alliance; and a Greenwall Foundation Grantfrom Brooklyn Public Library.  She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Adelphi University in Garden City\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Solomon Charitable Trust; Adirondack Studios; the Community Exchange Foundation; Mannix Marketing; the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

In 2011 Maria released Steady Love\, a contemporary electric Blues album that reflects the kind of music she loves to perform live – what she calls “Bluesiana Music” – her own brand of New Orleans-flavored Blues\, R&B and “Swamp Funk.” URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/summer-concert-series-maria-muldaur-sings-the-blues-3/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Summer Concert Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190724T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190724T203000 DTSTAMP:20260416T035901 CREATED:20190527T182537Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190527T182537Z UID:8029-1563994800-1564000200@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Summer Concert: Huntertones – Hipsters w/ Horns DESCRIPTION:Huntertones brings people together around the globe with fun\, imaginative and fearless music.

This is a predictably unpredictable group\, delightful\, unusual\, and thoroughly enjoyable. \nSome of the best blues you’re likely to hear this side of 1925. Hugh and John don’t just rehash classics from the blues greats\, they recreate them as their own\, and write originals that fit in seamlessly with that repertoire. The real deal. – JEFF RASPE\, Music Wizard WBJB-FM; 90.5 \n  \nMatt Mirabile\n\nFrom sweet and soulful to full on jam Matt Mirabile has it covered.

He has shared the stage with blues greats such as\, Buddy Guy\, James Cotton\, Lurrie Bell and Kenny Neal.

Gaudet’s unique percussive rhythms become the perfect springboard for his voice to follow and his melodies are downright infectious. It’s typical during any live performance to see the band’s fans shouting right along on favorites like “So Far So Good.” Gaudet has assembled a strong cast of characters in the Railroad Boys. \nIndividually the Railroad Boys are Jim Gaudet on guitar and vocals\, Bobby Ristau on bass and vocals\, Sten Isachsen on mandolin and vocals\, and Mat Kane on fiddle.

Intricate but free-swinging\, explosive yet intimate\, fresh and green as grass. Taking cues from the dance bands of western Louisiana (and his native Midwest)\, the streets of New Orleans\, touring African and Caribbean combos and the soul\, funk & blues of his youth\, Cebar is a masterful synthesist of rhythmic culture. \nTomorrow Sound are an elite crew of offhand adepts who bring plenty of their own wood to the fire. Drummer Reggie Bordeaux casts his nets with a mystifying subtlety bringing his own fleet-footed refinement and grease. Multi-instrumentalist Bob Jennings\, lends his bandleader the luxury of implying a much larger ensemble with his multi-hued contributions on keys and reeds. Bassist Mike Fredrickson (a distinguished singer-songwriter in his own right) anchors and prods with the best of them.

Adam Tinkle\, Seven Count member\, explains: “After the Tone is an immersive\, interactive collage in multiple media: including sound installation\, archival ephemera on paper and video\, and a deck of cards for divination and creative strategy. The continuous soundscape projected from around the gallery offers a space for meditative reflection\, while the other elements suggest new ways to listen and provide pathways for discovery and inspiration. Though disparate in form\, these varied threads all emerge from the artists’ years-long process of improvised music-making\, pirate radio broadcasting\, collaboration with friends and strangers\, and resulting development of a cosmology of sound and social interaction.” \nSeven Count is Angus McCullough\, Jake Nussbaum and Adam Tinkle. Its collective output to date includes two LPs of music (on Risky Forager Records)\, three gallery exhibitions (at Border Patrol in Portland\, ME\, at BUOY in Kittery\, ME\, and at Community Arts Phoenixville\, PA)\, an editioned ‘zine with cassette (shown at artist book fairs across the Northeast)\, a sonic dinner and tea ceremony\, as well as numerous live performances and radio broadcasts. \n\nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z.

Ellis expresses a keen intellect and easy\nvirtuosity while maintaining a mischievous gleam in his eye and never letting tongue stray far from cheek. That dichotomy perfectly encapsulates his group Double-Wide’s split metropolitan personality\, with a chainsaw-juggling balance of bayou brass\, raucous gospel\, and devil-may-care modern jazz. \nJohn Ellis & Double Wide:\nJohn Ellis – Saxophone\nMatt Perrine – Sousaphone\nAlan Ferber – Trombone\nGary Versace – Organ and accordion\nJason Marsalis – Drums \n  \nNicole Zuraitis: Sun 2:45pm\n \nGrammy-nominated vocalist\, pianist and songwriter\, Nicole Zuraitis blends clever songwriting skills\, an effervescent presence and dazzling vocals in a consummate package that has thrilled audiences around the world.

His work creates an atmosphere of tension and anticipation generated by open space and large scale\, and by ambiguous forms in incongruous spaces. In this\, even the most mundane events of his past are reformed into epic visual stories.  \nRagsdale says: “I try to illustrate in my work\, on as many levels as I can\, the callous\, ironic\, and indifferent manipulations related to the national belief in manifest destiny. At the same time\, I want to expose and illuminate the beauty and welcoming comfort of the landscape that remains and my relationship to it.”   \nKen Ragsdale’s photographic works are likewise literal constructions. He begins by making rough sketches of places and things from his past that tie to contemporary themes. These sketches become working drawings\, and from these\, complex schematics\, which are cut out\, folded\, and tabbed into colorless three-dimensional forms. He then moves to the camera\, using the lens to create the final image\, and arranging his studio lighting to create color and atmosphere. \nExhibition reviews online:Albany Times UnionGet Visual \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z.

In his most recent work\, Baker uses long-expired slide film\, but processes it as normal color film in order to introduce chance color possibilities. The color prints are then manipulated digitally\, allowing for further transmutation and the ability to add elements that didn’t previously exist.  \nin a blue time contains three distinct bodies of Baker’s work — each answering a unique question\, but all working in tandem.  \nA death in the family stemmed from two questions – “how can image-making be most simplified to be more direct?” and the second arising from the concurrent beginning of his fatherhood and imminent death of his own father. Critical to this body of work are the artist’s meditative thoughts on life and death and how these two aspects of life are necessary.  \nExodus from Mirth (a requiem for Sara Burdock) sees Baker returning to his interest in introducing more chance into the photographic process and color.  \n“Frodo’s Ghost XVII” Archival inkjet print\, 2019 \nFrodo’s ghost and other ephemera\, is the culmination of experimentation with other materials and process — primarily using 3 black and white negatives plus 3 RGB filters to create color separations. This method of color photography was the first viable means to create color photographs. With this ongoing body of work the concentration has shifted more towards the experience of time\, perception and illusory space. \nJustin Baker grew up in Greenwich\, NY. He attended Sage Jr. College of Albany for two years and studied Photography. The next two years were spent playing music and writing songs with his friends. Purchase College came next\, where his artistic strides led him to Printmaking and\, again Photography. In 2007 Justin received his MFA with a concentration in Combined Media at SUNY Albany. Justin teaches Digital Imaging and Web Art and Design at Hudson Valley Community College. He is also a board member of Collar Works Gallery in Troy\, NY. He currently lives in Troy\, NY with his wife Kyra\, daughters Lola and Rona\, and cats Lulu and Lilly. \n  \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.  The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. \nthank you to our sponsors:\n     URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/justin-baker-3/ LOCATION:Courthouse Gallery\, 1 Amherst St\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Courthouse Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200307 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200411 DTSTAMP:20260416T035901 CREATED:20190605T161002Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190605T161002Z UID:8036-1583539200-1586563199@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Katherine Chwazik DESCRIPTION:Opening reception March 7\, 4 – 6pm. \nIn compliance with the public health recommendations and mandates\, the Courthouse Gallery will be closed through the month of March. Please stay tuned for updates.\nPlease Click HERE to view a brief slideshow of Katherine’s exhibition at the Courthouse Gallery\, or view same photos below. \n\nThrough combined processes of printmaking\, drawing\, and sculpture\, Katherine Chwazik creates layered architectural imagery inspired by places in and around the Capital Region of Albany\, NY. This recent work explores the meaning of home and place for herself\, as well as other current and former residents of Albany County. Chwazik interviewed a number of regional residents\, gathering memories and emotional impressions\, visiting the homes themselves to make observational drawings. \nWhile the drawings become the structure of a piece\, the residents’ recollections guide her goal to capture the mood and experience of their homes. She says: “I use printmaking and sculpture to fluidly inform one another and to build hybrid objects. I construct spaces that reference the local and regional urban environment to evoke a sense of place. Many of the spaces I create are familiar and believable\, but not factual or possible.” \nOne of the works in the exhibition\, “Smallbany\,” is a 7-foot woodblock print depicting a cityscape composite of a number of Albany’s notable buildings.  She says: “The title pokes fun at the city’s nickname while simultaneously highlighting how truly monumental some parts of the city can feel.” \nKatherine Chwazik earned her M.A. from The College of Saint Rose\, where she also completed her dual concentration B.F.A. in Art Education and Drawing and Painting. Her work was recently exhibited at Albany’s Architecture through Artists’ Eyes\, Historic Albany Foundation\, Albany;  Algorithms\, Scarlet Seven Fine Art Gallery\, Troy\, NY; Tchotchke\, Nine Pin\, Albany\, NY;  Fence Select\, The Arts Center of the Capital Region\, Troy\, NY; Impressive\, Albany Barn\, Albany\, NY; and Compound Fragments\, Albany Center Gallery\, Albany\, NY. Her awards include a DEC Arts Grant / Individual Artist Commission in 2018  for Memory and Observation; A Mixed-Media Study of “Home”\, and a Juror’s Choice Award for BUILT\, through Historic Albany Foundation\, 2017. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Town and Village of Lake George; the Alfred Z.

We will reassess the situation as restrictions are eventually lifted\, possibly allowing for pre-scheduled gallery visits for individuals\, or very small groups. \nLee Malerich\, “Disguise”. Recycled wooden chairs\, 29 x 18 x 19 inches. \nAbout the Artists:\nBoth Lee Malerich and Michael Van Winkle create works depicting or referencing the human figure. Lee Malerich considers women’s issues\, and bodies\, as she recycles broken wooden furniture. Michael Van Winkle’s acrylic on canvas works depict figures in contorted postures\, literally pushing against the painting’s perimeters. Each in their unique way taps into shared aspects of our collective human condition. \nLee Malerich utilizes discarded chairs\, reassembling them into expressive sculptures that serve as metaphors for the female body. She says: “I make Uneasy Chairs. Chairs in which one cannot sit. Each chair represents a woman – They reflect the human body without describing it. They inhabit the body’s negative space. They contain many parts of many different chairs\, redesigned so they can continue to stand\, after losing a bit of themselves. Imagine scar tissue\, as the viewer notes the differences between a normal chair and these mixed and matched rebuilt modifications which are the poster girls of resistance. How is a woman’s composition altered when she has a baby on her hip? Or when the baby is still in utero?” \nLee Malerich earned her BFA and MFA in Fiber/Fabrics from Northern Illinois University\, DeKalb\, Illinois. Her work has been exhibited at many venues\, including Columbia College; Coker College; University of South Carolina; Columbia Museum of Art (all in South Carolina); The Ormond Beach Museum\, Ormond Beach\, Fl; Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft\, Louisville\, KY; North Carolina Folk Art Center\, Asheville\, NC; and Delaware Center for Contemporary Art\, Wilmington\, DE.  Her awards include three South Carolina Arts Commission fellowships in the area of Crafts\, and one Regional National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. She currently lives in Neeses\, SC.

His recent paintings explore a broad tradition of representational painting and its relationship to abstraction. He says: “Dancers\, explorers and amateur philosophers; the figures in my paintings and drawings are earnest and silly. They are working hard to discover meaning within the bounds of their environment. Their bodies are poised and their positions strain for purpose. However\, the paintings aren’t primarily concerned with their actions or intentions\, but focus on their material constraints and the painted environment they inhabit.” \nMichael Van Winkle earned his BFA in Painting\, with a Minor in Philosophy\, from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University\, NY\, and his MFA in Painting from State University of New York at Albany. His work was recently exhibited in solo shows at The Times Club\, Iowa City\, IA; ECA+ Gallery\, Easthampton\, MA; Historic Northampton Museum\, Northampton\, MA; Yates Gallery\, Siena College\, Loudonville\, NY; The Foundry for Art\, Design and Culture\, Cohoes\, NY; and in group shows at LabSpace\, Hillsdale\, NY; Collarworks Gallery\, Troy NY; and Artspace\, New Haven\, CT. His awards include residencies at The Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency in Granville\, NY;  Ragged Edge Print Studio\, Cohoes\, NY; and Vermont Studio Center\, Johnson\, VT. He has taught at Skidmore College\, Siena College\, The Doane Stuart School\, SUNY Albany\, and College of St Rose. He currently lives in Mechanicville\, NY.
