By weaving together elements of the past and present\, this exhibition explores how marginalized communities\, particularly Black families\, experience and navigate the complexities of identity\, memory\, and systemic forces. My work within this exhibition\, including pieces like Brooklyn’s Paradise (2024) and an untitled piece\, draws on fragmented realities to critique and reflect on the forces that shape our lived experiences. Through these works\, I aim to invite viewers to reconsider their assumptions about space\, race\, and identity\, ultimately challenging preconceived notions around Blackness and its portrayal in the public sphere. Brooklyn’s Paradise critiques the New York subway system\, a space that is integral to urban life yet riddled with neglect and violence\, often masked by everyday mundanity. By juxtaposing distorted figures\, subway patrons\, and discarded materials within a surreal landscape\, this piece challenges viewers to confront the violence and alienation that pervade urban spaces\, calling attention to how these issues are often ignored or normalized in society. The untitled piece centers on the intersection of religion\, domestic labor\, and generational teachings\, offering a reflection on how these traditions\, passed down through the generations\, continue to influence Black identity today. Through a mix of archival imagery and color manipulation\, this work explores how faith\, labor\, and family teachings evolve in the context of modern life\, intertwining the past and present. In this way\, the untitled piece delves into how historical practices and teachings continue to shape contemporary Black experiences\, particularly within domestic and familial spheres.   \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n   Both works in this exhibition embody my artistic practice of reframing Black identity through color\, abstraction\, and inversion\, which serves to disrupt racialized perceptions and offer a more nuanced understanding of Blackness. By redefining skin tones and emotional color associations\, I challenge the viewer to move beyond fixed cultural narratives and engage with the radiant\, complex presence of Black identity. The exhibition as a whole invites reflection on how individual histories and societal systems intersect to create our understanding of identity\, space\, and memory. \nArtist Statement  \nI use visual storytelling to confront misunderstandings about my identity and community history\, dismantling entrenched perceptions through manipulated color\, layered materials\, and expressive form. Working primarily in oil paint and acetate\, I build scenes that feel both archival and futuristic—broad\, modernized brushstrokes sweep across transparent layers\, blending digital collage with painterly tactility. Skin tones are inverted or shifted into unnatural hues\, disrupting racialized expectations and inviting viewers to see Blackness not as fixed\, but as radiant\, fluid\, and otherworldly. My figures are suspended in dreamlike environments—gestural yet frozen—rendered in saturated palettes where serene blues veil violence and stark contrasts expose emotional weight. Their gazes pierce outward\, creating a participatory exchange that humanizes and implicates the viewer. Interactive elements\, such as smartphone-enabled color inversion\, deepen this engagement\, asking audiences to reconsider how perception is shaped by both technology and bias. Through abstraction\, symbolism\, and material play\, my work reclaims narrative space for Black bodies\, offering new ways of seeing and being.   URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/new-work-by-khaila-batts-perception-in-fragments-unveiling-family-through-color-and-memory/ 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:20250806T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250806T203000 DTSTAMP:20260417T063630 CREATED:20250516T093328Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250516T093550Z UID:18923-1754506800-1754512200@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Ashley Wineland DESCRIPTION:Ashley Wineland\n\nDynamic country singer and songwriter Ashley Wineland is on a quick ascend. The powerhouse vocalist’s combination of electrifying stage presence and immersive storytelling has enabled her to carve her own unique trail as an independent artist with nearly a million fans engaged online. Because of her relentless work ethic\, Ashley is an artist in full control of her career’s destiny\, and her accolades achieved to date underscore just that. The Arizona-based artist has also taken the reins as her own booking agent\, landing 60+ headlining shows across the country and spots on multiple festival and fair stages.\n \nNow working with Grammy-nominated\, multi-platinum producer\, songwriter\, and musician Marti Frederiksen — known for hits like “Mama’s Song” (Carrie Underwood) and “Dreamer” (Ozzy Osbourne) — Ashley is entering 2025 with more new music\, including her most recent release\, “Tumbleweed” (Sept 2024). The song’s music video has garnered over 1.3 million views while the track itself highlights Marti and Ashley’s creative chemistry. “Marti and I have had nothing but pure magic come out of the studio\,” Ashley exclaims. She’s particularly excited about “Loving You Is Easy\,” her first co-write with Marti due out later this year\, calling it a fresh direction with new sounds and themes. Ashley’s upcoming music continues to reflect her evolution\, ranging from fun and sassy to deeply heartfelt.\n \nAshley Wineland’s arena-ready vocals and energetic performances have already drawn early comparisons to country icons like Carrie Underwood\, Miranda Lambert\, and Gretchen Wilson — and she’s excited to hit the road for her 2025 “Moments in Time” Tour\, bringing her music and live performances to the fans across the country she’s dedicated herself to. With the experience of opening for artists like Lainey Wilson\, John Michael Montgomery\, and Sawyer Brown\, Ashley absorbed invaluable lessons in professionalism and the power of connecting with her audience.\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 tour is when I get to take the duct tape off and shout to the world about all the cool things my team and I have been developing\,” – Ashley Wineland\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 HER MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ashley Wineland – Tumbleweed (Official Video)\n \n \n \n \n \n ​Ashley Wineland – Heartbreak Boots (Official Music Video)\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 Ashley Wineland URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/ashley-wineland/ 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/Ashley-Wineland.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250815T040000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250815T180000 DTSTAMP:20260417T063630 CREATED:20250813T153414Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250813T153416Z UID:19656-1755230400-1755280800@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Lake George Journey - Family Friendly Book Launch and Reception DESCRIPTION:You’re Invited! \nFriday\, August 15th from 4–6 PM\nJoin us at the Courthouse Gallery – 1 Lower Amherst Street (across from Duffy’s) for a special celebration of Lake George Journey\, a locally inspired book for all generations of residents and visitors who love Lake George.  \nLake George Journey features I-Spy artwork from seven local artists\, short stories that entertain\, and fun facts that educate.

Finding that they shared similar frustrations about the emerging brass band scene in New York City\, co-founders Alex Harris and Ally Chapel came together to form a group dedicated to showcasing the talents of female musicians in a landscape that was dominated by male musicians and bandleaders. After debuting in March 2019\, Brass Queens grew to be a fixture in the local music scene and was dubbed “the hardest working band in town” by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through outdoor performances on the streets of Brooklyn and playing pop-up events in their community through the pandemic. \nA core value of the band is to play for as many audiences as possible to increase the visibility of female musicians in brass bands. Brass Queens tour regularly across the country and internationally. Recent highlights include a New Year’s Eve performance in Breckenridge\, multiple nights at Favela Chic in New Orleans\, and a sold out show at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit. They also make appearances on festival stages including the Ottawa Jazz Festival\, Northlands Music Festival\, MusikFest\, Duck Jazz Festival\, and multiple appearances at the Exit Zero Jazz Festival. Brass Queens has played major events like The Met Gala and David Byrne’s “Amazing Humans Doing Amazing Things!” Variety Show\, and for notable clients including New Balance\, Chanel\, Saks Fifth Avenue\, Tiffany & Co.\, Bombas\, Perrier\, Facebook\, Instagram\, and Pinterest. They have also performed on national television on Good Morning America\, and had multiple shows at iconic New York venues like The Capitol Theater\, Blue Note Jazz Club\, and Brooklyn Bowl. They are also the 2023 winners of We Love NYC’s Rider’s Choice Award\, after the people of New York voted the Queens as their favorite of the MTA’s Music Under New York’s roster of subway performers. \nThe band has developed a signature style that sits right at the intersection of the Big Apple and the Big Easy. Their sound is deeply inspired by and pays homage to the New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat\, multifaceted energy of their New York home into each performance. The result is a nonstop party: a Brass Queens show will have you singing along to classic pop hits\, dancing your heart out to reggaeton\, and feeling like you’ve been transported to Frenchman Street. In February 2021\, Brass Queens released their debut EP “Royal Street\,” which takes listeners on a six-song journey beginning in the heart of New York City with a cover of Cameo’s “Candy\,” down to Royal St. with their take on a New Orleans traditional\, “Little Liza Jane.” In November 2023\, the band released their first full-length album titled “Black & Gold\,” which is an ode to the Brass Queen’s incredible early fanbase who supported the band from the virtual performances and socially-distanced street corners during the COVID-19 pandemic\, to the crowded clubs and packed venues of today. Less than a year later\, Brass Queens released their second full-length album and their first album of all-original music titled “Hot Tub Sessions Vol. I.” \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 ensemble pays tribute to the New Orleans brass band tradition\, using its force to generate a sonic capture of the city’s vitality.” — Relix\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 THIER MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Part Time Drummer by Brass Queens – NPR Tiny Desk Submission 2023\n \n \n \n \n \n Lady Marmalade (brass band cover) LIVE at Cafe Wha?\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 the Brass Queens URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/brass-queens/ LOCATION:The Lake George Beach Club\, 3 Montcalm 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/FINAL-Rain-Location.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250821T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250821T203000 DTSTAMP:20260417T063630 CREATED:20250521T150432Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250814T100122Z UID:19020-1755802800-1755808200@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Mixed Roots DESCRIPTION:Mixed Roots\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMixed Roots is truly that.
