SUMMARY:The Stony Creek Band
DESCRIPTION:Yes\, they plan on playing\, even though the weather may be unpredictable… \nFor over 40 years\, the Stony Creek Band has been one of the most enduringly popular musical groups in the northeastern United States. The Stony Creek Band has thrilled generations of fans with its high energy blend of rock\, folk\, country and bluegrass; a sound that has consistently defied description but is “a product of the landscape as authentically upstate as any Hudson River School painting or sculpture by David Smith” and performed in a manner described by one reviewer as “a ferocious ensemble attack; like a runaway train!”. Over the last 40 years\, the Stony Creek Band has evolved from an acoustic trio with roots in traditional folk and country music to a purveyor of American idioms\, and back again. The band’s music is the sound of mature\, seasoned artists who have outlasted the years and their own baser instincts to mentor and encourage younger artists\, enrich their communities and preserve and transmit a living memory.  With the release of 2013’s Stony Creek Band Live! album\, the band has successfully captured the proverbial “lightning in a bottle” bringing to fans around the world the sound\, raw energy and contagious excitement of the Stony Creek Band’s legendary concert performances. Don’t miss the fun!!!! Learn more: https://stonycreekband.com/home

SUMMARY:The Spirit of Johnny Cash- Harold Ford\, Our June & The Cash Band
DESCRIPTION:Harold Ford’s voice and physical resemblance to Johnny Cash are unmistakable\, making him a natural as a Johnny Cash tribute artist. Harold Ford grew up in the foothills country between the Berkshire and Green Mountains bordering New York State. Raised on the old American pioneer songs\, at the age of four\, Harold began singing duets and harmonies with sister Dorothy. His father accompanied them on the banjo and Mother followed along with the piano. Music and a pioneering love of America became an integral part of his existence.As an adult\, Harold spent many years driving the cross country roads and corridors of America\, often with family in tow.  Weaving his way north\, south\, east\, west and settling in towns and villages along the way\,  Harold explored the back roads\, country woods and the people of this great land. As a true American figure and artist himself\, Harold Ford’s many experiences make him a storyteller in his own right and lend a deep identification to Johnny Cash’s music.

SUMMARY:"The End of Eden"\, paintings by Laura Colomb
DESCRIPTION:    \nThe Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents “The End of Eden”\, a solo exhibition of paintings by Laura Colomb\, July 14 – August 14\, 2021.\n\nView our  Online Talk with Laura Colomb from July 14\, 2021\, HERE.\nRead Robert Shane’s review in Whitehot Magazine HERE.\n \nAll are welcome to join us for our closing reception on August 14\, 4 – 6 pm. Come meet Laura Colomb in person! All visitors will be required to wear a mask\, and practice social distancing. \nLaura Colomb\, a native of Glens Falls\, on the southern border of the Adirondack Park\, has long been aware of the complex messages that weave through the desire for preservation of wild spaces. Her appreciation of the role State and National Parks play in allowing one to experience nature\, especially substantially wild areas\, is part of what informs her work as a painter\, as well as the complicated historical records of particular places\, often at odds with the natural beauty of the place. \nHer most recent work focuses on sites just outside her current city of Jacksonville\, FL\, primarily Kingsley Plantation\, Fort Caroline National Monument and the Talbot Islands State Parks. She says: “Most major natural spaces\, where one can really experience raw nature\, are through State and National Parks; many of which were initially protected due to their proximity to sites which contained historical significance. The density of these forests\, with the ominous rustle of creatures moving next to you\, but which you can’t see\, create a miasma of nightmare. Yet\, in the light\, the greenery\, and the scrub\, there is a rich beauty\, as if steeped in a world where time stands still\, where one can still momentarily get lost in the romanticism of the natural landscape.” \nLaura Colomb earned her BFA degree from the College of Saint Rose\, Albany\, NY\, a BA degree in French Studies from the University of North Florida\, Jacksonville\, FL and MFA degree at Boston University\, Boston\, MA. Recent exhibitions include Sensory Illusions\, The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach\, FL\, Contemplations\, Jax Makerspace\, Jacksonville\, FL\, and an upcoming solo exhibition at Onondaga Community College\, Syracuse\, NY. Her awards include an Art Ventures grant from the Community Foundation of Northeast Florida\, the Starr Fellowship from the Royal Academy of the Arts in London\, UK\, Best Emerging Regional Curator award from Metroland Magazine\, Constantin Alajalov Scholarship and Academic scholarship from Boston University\, as well as the Artist’s Award\, Visual Arts scholarship and Academic Scholarship from the College of Saint Rose. She has taught at the University of North Florida\, Boston University\, the College of Saint Rose and SUNY Adirondack. She has been a guest critic/speaker for the Camberwell College of Art in London\, UK\, The College of Saint Rose in Albany\, NY and the Upper Hudson Valley Watercolor Society in Queensbury\, NY. She has curated and organized exhibitions for various galleries including Saratoga Arts in Saratoga Springs\, NY and North Main Gallery in Salem\, NY. You can learn more about her work at www.lauracolomb.com. \nView Checklist of paintings for sale HERE. \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY. \nHours during exhibitions are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; the Town and Village of Lake George; Price Chopper’s Golub Foundation; 518 Profiles; the Glen & Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation\, and LGAP members.

SUMMARY:"Pictures Within Pictures"\, works by Dan Cameron
DESCRIPTION:Aloft\, 7.5 x 4.5 inches\, photograph\, marker\, oil crayon\, collage on paper. \nPictures Within Pictures\, an exhibition of collages and works on paper by Dan Cameron\, runs from June 16 – 26\, 2021.  Artist’s reception: June 19\, from 4 – 6 pm. \nView recorded Online Talk with Dan Cameron from June 16th HERE. \nAbout the Artist: \nAlthough he is well-known in the contemporary art world as a curator\, art writer and educator\, Pictures Within Pictures will be Cameron’s debut exhibition as a fine artist. The works on view date from his return to art-making in late 2016\, with increasing focus and attention on developing his studio work in the intervening years. Since late 2018\, he has maintained a combination studio and office in Glens Falls\, and all of the works on view were produced there. \nCameron links his collage-making to his curatorial practice\, in part because they are connected through his process of acquiring art-related ephemera and fragments of visual culture for an ongoing art history archive\, in the process accumulating images that aren’t archival material\, but nonetheless possess a certain visual appeal. \n\nHe says: “I’ve worked steadily for forty years as curator — 32 of them without a parallel studio practice —\, and I feel more attuned than ever to the knowledge that the production of visual knowledge simply carries on\, irrespective of what platform is being used\, or by whom. I’ve also come to understand that my deepest impulses as a curator have been to introduce viewers to forms of artistic expression that are able to surprise them\, to produce dynamic & unexpected groupings of objects and environments\, and to induce viewers to reflect on their own lived experience. Interestingly\, my return to art-making these past five years can be understood as a case of me actually practicing what I preach\, because I’m consistently amazed by how much my unconscious has to reveal about my own way of navigating reality\, and how intricately bound up it is with the other work I’ve been making all along… \n\n\nAnother Lucky Friday\, 27 x 36 inches\, collage and marker on paper. \nWhen the pandemic shut down much of the art world in March 2020\, my collages became a lifeline to my own creativity. Multiple exhibitions I was working on had been postponed or worse\, and a book I was scheduled to write was cancelled\, so a lot of creative energy was going unspent at the same time that everyone’s activities became drastically more inner-directed. By May 2020\, my Glens Falls studio had become a refuge\, where I had the freedom to explore my thoughts and ideas without concerning myself with anybody’s eyes but my own. In the intervening year\, I’ve begun to appreciate anew that in my collages I’m doing what most artists do\, which is to create an imagined version of the world in order to mentally live inside it\, and to seek meaning where all kinds of pictures are flowing in\, out and around each other\, and where I’ve been able to set aside the rarest and most intriguing examples for myself.” \n\n\nRead Dan Cameron’s Full Artist’s Statement HERE. \n\nDan Cameron’s History with the Lake George Arts Project: \nAround Town\, 25.5 x 18.5 inches\, collage\, marker\, metallic paint & plastic on paper. \n\nDan worked summers as a college student in Lake George from 1975 to 1979\, and volunteered the final two years for Lake George Arts Project under its founding director Beth Rowe. \n\n\nFor the 1979 exhibition Prospect Mountain Sculpture Show: An Homage to David Smith\, Dan personally drove poet and art critic John Ashbery from his Hudson\, NY home to the summit of Prospect Mountain and back again\, with a glowing review of the exhibition by Ashbery in New York Magazine as the result. Read statement from LGAP founding director\, Beth Rowe\, about Dan and his work HERE. \nView a selection of works in the exhibition + views of Dan’s Glens Falls\, NY Studio & Office HERE.\nView the checklist of Work for Sale HERE. \nRead the Press!\nThe Post Star\, June 5\, 2021 HERE.\nLake George Mirror\,  June 2021 HERE. \n\nDan Cameron (b. 1956) grew up in Hudson Falls\, NY\, and graduated from HFHS in 1974\, followed by studies at Syracuse University and Bennington College\, where he earned a BA in 1979. Although this is his first solo exhibition as a visual artist\, as a curator he has organized international exhibitions throughout the US\, France\, China\, Mexico\, Spain\, Brazil\, Greece\, Turkey\, Sweden\, Ireland\, Portugal\, Argentina\, Chile\, South Africa\, Ecuador and Taiwan. He has held senior curatorial positions at the New Museum\, the Orange County Museum of Art\, and the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans\, and is the founder of Prospect New Orleans\, which premiered in 2008 and will open its 5th edition in October 2021. He has authored hundreds of essays and articles on contemporary art\, and taught at the graduate MFA faculties of Columbia University\, NYU and School of Visual Arts\, among others. In June 2021\, Dan’s book on the paintings of Nicole Eisenman will be published by Lund Humphries (London). He currently divides his time between New York City and Glens Falls. \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets in Lake George\, NY.  Our office hours are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm. Gallery hours same\, but only during exhibition dates.  Visit our calendar for more information. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.

SUMMARY:"Go Home"\, works by Paul Akira Miyamoto
DESCRIPTION:Reach\, oil on canvas\, 30 x 24”\, 2021 \nThe Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents “Go Home“\, a solo exhibition of work by Paul Akira Miyamoto. \nThe exhibition is installed in the gallery from May 5 – June 5\, 2021\, and available for the public to view. \nIn place of an on-site gallery reception\, LGAP hosted a Live Online Talk with Paul Akira Miyamoto on May 4\, 2021.​  View an edited recording of the talk HERE. \nMiyamoto’s grandparents came to the United States from Kumamoto\, Japan\, and worked as itinerant farmers throughout the central coast of California and the desert of the Imperial Valley. During WWII they\, along with Paul’s parents and oldest sibling\, were sent to Poston Camp in Arizona. The internment of naturalized citizens as well as Americans of Japanese descent\, from 1941 to 1946\, informs much of Paul’s work of late.  The figures in his paintings recall the Issei\, a term used for first generation Japanese Americans who emigrated from Japan\, but were not eligible for U.S. citizenship. The distilled forms of field workers\, often placed in landscapes drawn from his own memory\, portray the strength and endurance of past family members\, but could easily represent present-day immigrant farmworkers. \nHe says: “My paintings reflect a relationship to the geography of my past and the silent rage and emotional shame that earlier generations were never able to express. The mountains illustrate the barriers to independence\, the furrows signify the possibility of regeneration\, and the clear\, expansive skies invite hope for the future.” \nPromise\, oil on canvas\, 30 x 24”\, 2021 \nPaul Akira Miyamoto earned both his Master of Fine Art and Bachelor of Fine Art degrees at Otis College of Art & Design. In addition to his studio art practice\, he was a Clinical Professor of Visual Communication at RPI for more than 20 years and still maintains a graphic design practice. His recent exhibitions include: Rear View: Life Examined\, Albany Public Library; Artists of the Hudson Mohawk Valley\, Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls\, NY; Body Language\, Albany International Airport Gallery and An Armory Show\, Opalka Gallery\, Albany\, NY.  His work has also been included in exhibitions at MIA Gallery\, Miami International Airport\, Miami\, FL; Brooklyn Zen Center\, Brooklyn\, NY; Contemporary Art Center\, North Adams\, MA; Albany Center Galleries; and The Art Center for the Capital Region\, Albany NY. His artwork is in the collection of the MWPI Museum of Art\, Utica\, NY\, Utica\, NY and in numerous private collections.  You can learn more about his work at www.paulmiyamotoart.com. \nSee Miyamoto family photos\, Poston Camp photo and read Paul Miyamoto’s Full Artist’s Statement HERE\nView slide show of works in the exhibition HERE \nView checklist of works for sale HERE\nRead Lake George Mirror Article about Paul’s exhibition HERE.\nRead David Brickman’s review in Get Visual HERE.\nListen to North Country Public Radio‘s interview with Paul HERE.\nView Mountain Lake PBS interview HERE.\nView Look TV’s recent episode of “Where’s Dayna?” HERE. \nDid you know it is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month? Thank you to Kaori Otera Chen at the NY State Writers Institute for a great reading list\, as well as a shout out to visit Paul Miyamoto’s exhibition.\n \nNo Home\, oil on canvas\, 30 x 24”\, 2021 \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets in Lake George\, NY.  Our office hours are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm. Gallery hours same\, but only during exhibition dates.  Visit our calendar for more information. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.

SUMMARY:Scott Brodie
DESCRIPTION:The Waiting Part 1(d)\, 16″x11″\, oil on canvas\, 2020. \nThe Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents “The Waiting”\, a solo exhibition of recent work by Scott Brodie. The exhibition will be installed in the gallery\, and available for the public to view. In place of an on-site gallery reception\, LGAP hosted a Live Talk with Scott Brodie on March 6th.​ You can view the Talk HERE. \nView slide show of works in the exhibition HERE\nView checklist of works for sale HERE\nView “Where’s Dayna?” interview/gallery visit \nAbout the Artist: \nScott Brodie has been painting what could be defined as the seemingly “ordinary” for most of his 40+ years as an artist. This exhibition will feature his most recent work\, all created within the last year. They are observations of daily life\, ranging from still life to landscape. Through the immediacy of his loose brush work\, these deftly painted works capture the intimacy of meditative moments of observation of light and color. Depending on his subject\, Brodie alternates his palette from bold saturated colors to warm soft light\, accentuated with flecks of a warm ground color peeking through. Any object\, such as a glass\, a can\, a chair\, a plant\, or a lawnmower\, can be transformed into a celebration of painting. \nPlague Spring No. 6\, 14”x11”\, oil on canvas\, 2020. \nHe says: “The series titles\, ‘Plague Spring\,’ ‘Beached in the Backyard\,’ and ‘The Waiting’ do refer to the pandemic\, or more precisely to the state of existing during the pandemic\, but they are open-ended and don’t dictate the subject matter… In terms of subject\, there is only a tangential connection. I generally don’t favor ‘topical’ work\, it tends to be newsy\, literal\, and has a short shelf life. But the staying-at-home and the waiting-for-it-to-pass have had an effect. For one\, it got me out of the house to do some plein air work\, but alas\, only as far as my back yard”. \n\nScott Brodie earned his Bachelor of Science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst\, and Master of Fine Arts in Painting & Drawing from the School of Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University\, Boston. His recent exhibition include “Something” (2-Person show with Paul Mauren)\, Onandaga Community College Gallery\, Syracuse\, NY\, 2020; “Affinities and Outliers”\, University at Albany Art Museum\, Albany\, NY\, 2020; “Roaring Twenties”\, Joyce Goldstein Gallery\, Chatham\, NY\, 2020; “Holiday”\, Labspace\, Hillsdale\, NY\, 2019; “Artists of the Hudson Mohawk Region”\, Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls\, NY\, 2019. His work has also been included in group exhibitions at Picotte Gallery\, College of Saint Rose\, Albany; Opalka Gallery\, Albany\, NY; Geoffrey Young Gallery\, Great Barrington\, MA; Massry Center for the Arts\, Albany\, NY; Albany International Airport Gallery\, Albany\, NY; and Pierogi Gallery\, Brooklyn\, NY. His awards include residencies at MacDowell Colony in Peterborough\, NH; Yaddo\, Saratoga Springs\, NY; Ragdale Foundation\, Lake Forest\, IL; and a Dr. Arthur N. Collins Purchase Award from the “Artists of the Hudson-Mohawk Region”\, Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls\, NY.

SUMMARY:Susan Hoffer
DESCRIPTION:The Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents “Painted Stories”\, a solo exhibition of recent paintings by Susan Hoffer. The exhibition runs from January 16 – February 19\, 2021. In place of on-site gallery reception\, we presented an Online Artist Talk\, January 16\, 2021. \nThe exhibition will be installed in the gallery\, and available for the public to view on site from January 20 to February 19\, 2021.  The Courthouse Gallery will be open by appointment only (with preferred 24-hour notice). We do hope to continue regular gallery hours soon.

Her autobiographical paintings spring from her experiences and exchanges with family\, friends\, students and neighbors. With close attention to current events\, and a keen eye for observing detail\, she depicts how technology is relied on and weaved into everyday life. Her subjects are carefully staged in various interior spaces\, often with dramatic lighting rendered through thick brushwork\, and surrounded by objects that inform each narrative. Her compositions reveal psychological states of her subjects\, her empathy for them\, as well as her love of light and texture in paint. \nShe says: “I am interested in the experience of real or perceived isolation that is a result of geographical place and in the ways we use technology to form connections. In our digital age\, new media have become a primary means of informational access for many people living in rural areas such as the Adirondack Park. In each painting\, I aim to connect my subjects to their broader context\, hinting at their engagement with global concerns…Those whom I meet speak of an interest to be engaged in culture and politics beyond their immediate locale; a reliance on often unreliable internet and cell towers; suspicion about how to tell which internet sources might troll or manipulate truth; and always pressure—pressure to piece together multiple jobs in order to make ends meet. It is evident\, too\, that there are frictions here that have resulted from acres of poverty with pockets of great wealth\, and shifting and aging populations; all of this I express through ordinary objects and people\, frayed cuffs and halos of light\, non-traditional alignments of the pedestrian and the sublime. And through this body of work\, I am becoming increasingly aware of theeasy assumptions we make about ourselves and others.” \n“Saving the planet’s biodiversity – one turtle at a time – Schroon Lake\, NY”\, oil on wood panel\, 16 x 11 inches\, 2020.  \nSusan Hoffer​ ​earned her Bachelor in Art and Education at Molloy College and her MFA in Visual Arts / Painting at Johnson State College\, Johnson\, VT. Her work recently featured in solo shows at Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts\, Blue Mountain Lake\, NY\, Southern Vermont Arts Center\, Manchester\, VT\, Strand Center for the Arts\, Plattsburgh\, NY\, and group shows at Emerge Gallery\, Saugerties\, NY\, Albany Institute of History & Art\, Albany\, NY\, The Shirt Factory\, Glens Falls\, NY\,  Butzel Gallery\, Schenectady\, NY\,  and Saratoga Arts\, Saratoga Springs\, NY. Her awards include grants from Essex County Arts Council Grant\, a European Studies Grant from Emma Willard School\, residencies at Tyrone Guthrie\, Newbliss\, Ireland\,  Pouch Cove\, Newfoundland\, Canada and Vermont Studio Center\, Johnson\, VT. She was awarded First Place Award from Northwind Fine Arts Gallery\, Saranac Lake\, NY 2020; Juror’s Choice Award from North Country Arts\, Glens Falls NY\, 2020; Best of Show Award at AAG Juried Invitational\, Saranac Lake\, NY 2020; Best of Show\, The Shirt Factory Juried Invitational\, Glens Falls\, NY 2020; Best of Show\, LPCA Juried Invitational\, Lake Placid\, NY 2019; ​Mohawk-Hudson Regional Juror’s Award and a Purchase Prize from Albany Institute of History and Art in 2018. She currently lives in Jay NY and teaches at North Country Community College.  You can learn more about her work at https://susanhofferart.com. \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.  Currently we are open by appointment only\, but hope to continue regular gallery hours in February\, 2021.

DESCRIPTION:Submit videos by March 1\, 2021 \nPeoples Pixel Project returns in 2021 with a new look – Congratulations to Mary Kathryn Jablonski on winning our P3 Logo Design Contest! \nWe are excited to relaunch P3\, knowing it is important more than ever for film makers to have a platform to show their work. P3 is always a work-in-progress\, and in 2021 we are hoping to adapt the program to the unique circumstances we all face. The year 2020 not only provided artists inspiration\, but also changed what inspires artists and how organizations\, like us\, present programs in non-traditional ways. For 2021 we’ve expanded our geographic reach and also made some changes to the program format. \nThis year anyone living in NY State can submit up to 3 videos. This spring 20 winning videos will be linked on our website and You-Tube channel. From those 20 videos 2 Honorable Mentions will be selected and viewers can cast votes for the Peoples Choice Award. As in past years\, the Peoples Choice Award Winner will have their video screened at the prestigious Adirondack Film Festival in October of 2021. \nNew this Year: In place of an in-person screening event\, we will present “P3 Conversations” – a series of 4 online events\, Thursday evenings during the month of May. Each event will feature current P3 winners in conversation with past P3 Winners and LGAP Staff members\, followed by a brief Q & A period from the online audience. \nThe Peoples Pixel Project was created to provide live audience exposure to professional and emerging videographers\, and to foster local interest and growth in the medium. \nThis opportunity is open to ALL in NY State. We are accepting video submissions NOW through the March 1\, 2021 deadline!  Please consider submitting your video: HEAD ON OVER TO OUR ONLINE SUBMISSION FORM TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK \n___________________________________________\nCLICK HERE to see a selection of short videos we screened in previous years. \nThank you to our sponsors!\n

DESCRIPTION:   \n\n“A BELLYFUL of SAWDUST”: new work by Steve Rosenzweig​ \nThis exhibition is installed in the gallery\, and available for the public to view. \n\n\nWe are committed to public safety within our Up-State NY community and beyond\, and want everyone to stay strong\, safe\, and healthy. All entering our office and gallery space will need to wear a mask and will be asked to sign in with their name and two points of contact (email\, address\, and/or phone number).

Working spontaneously\, these materials are cut\, bolted\, burned\, stretched\, melted\, or poured into works that are developed with no blueprint or specific plan. The pieces evolve as they are being constructed. Rosenzweig’s process relies in improvisation\, essential for invention and discovery\, as well as deliberation and precision\, needed for constructing 3-D works on and off the wall. \nHe says: “Moving through the stretches that mark my time in the studio\, each new series is typically prompted by a blend of specific and hazy motivators. In this latest spell\, I found myself looking at Baroque still life paintings. These were of commonplace objects\, both natural and man-made\, and often created without a deliberate expression of allegory or symbolism… My first piece in this sculptural gambit was a simple still life – a vase of roses\, carved in wood. Allowing the principle elements to remain representational\, I simultaneously engaged my toolbox of bold textures\, dissonant shapes and vibrant colors in an effort to find a pulse and generate some energy. This sparked another 3D still life\, and then another.” \nReferring to his new work in this exhibition he says: “Psychedelic\, cut-out shapes and saturated matte colors became a nod to animation cels and the cartoons I loved as a kid. Kooky characters and loose gestures emerged\, as if I was channeling my prepubescent self – someone who would incessantly doodle in the margins of my notebooks in school.” \nSteve Rosenzweig​ ​earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Printmaking from SUNY Purchase. After receiving his BFA\, he moved to NYC and worked as a studio assistant to internationally recognized artist\, Red Grooms. Soon after\, he embarked on a decades-long stretch working as a Production Designer in the film\, television and theater businesses. He has been involved in projects spanning Independent movies\, Dr. Seuss-inspired children’s TV programming\, to a stage production which premiered at the Salzburg Opera Festival. Rosenzweig’s work is in the collection of the Beinecke Library at Yale University\, and in private collections both regionally and in Europe. Recently he was commissioned to create paintings for set decoration for ABC and Warner Brothers Television. He currently lives and works in New York State’s Hudson Valley. \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.  Hours during exhibitions are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. \nPlease NOTE: Regular Gallery hours may change due to the COVID-19 health emergency.  For updates please call 518-668-2616\, ​or ​email laura@lakegeorgarts.org\, or visit www.lakegeorgearts.org. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Town and Village of Lake George; the Alfred Z.

Working from a red undercoat creates luminous eye-popping effects where the red paint is exposed. It also serves to unify the contrasting forms weaving through the paintings intricate space. Solomon draws from many sources\, including early modernism\, surrealism\, abstract expressionism\, pop art and cartoon imagery\, to name a few. But Solomon finds inspiration everywhere. He says: “There is not a day that goes by that I am not inspired by something or someone. I’m very grateful for this.” Finding inspiration from so many places has led to a prolific painting career spanning many decades. \nHe says: “My paintings are a condensation of sensations received through juxtapositions of shape\, line and color\, interpreted into a visual language. Inventing a unique structure that positions disparate elements to the whole is one of the most challenging and motivation facets of making my art. I have been intrigued throughout my creative life with the similarities among all the arts as to how component parts assembled within a specific context come to a desired gestalt. It is the organization and orchestration in musical composition that I most profoundly relate to and have been influenced by.” \nRe-Encounter\, acrylic on canvas\, 24 x 18 inches. \nJack Solomon earned his B.A. from San Diego State College\, and M.A. from San Francisco State College. He also served in the Underwater Demolition Team in the U.S. Navy from 1953 – 57. His work has been featured in many solo exhibitions\, most recently at Gallery A\, Richmond\, VA; Hudson Opera House\, Hudson\, NY; Conde Nast Gallery\, New York\, NY; Clement Art Gallery\, Troy\, NY; and Albany Center Gallery\, Albany\, NY.

SUMMARY:Jazz at the Lake 2020 - Reimagined!
DESCRIPTION:This coming September we are planing a series of 4 hybrid online events combining performances and discussions with a number of Amazing Jazz musicians!\nThe Lake George Arts Project is deeply committed to bringing people together to hear and see great music. Our Jazz at the Lake program isn’t just one of our favorite events\, the magic of this weekend of concerts is created by having amazing musicians perform with one of the most beautiful lakes in the country as the backdrop. Even if we were able to present in a traditional sense this year\, it just wouldn’t be the same. Keeping artists\, the audience\, staff\, and volunteers safe is our top priority and is a responsibility we take seriously. Through many conversations\, and with the input of artists\, stakeholders and the audience\, the Lake George Arts Project Staff and Board of Directors have made the unprecedented decision to cancel our traditional Jazz at the Lake program for this year.  We are instead presenting a series of virtual events we are calling Jazz at the Lake Reimagined that will stream renown Jazz musicians straight to your living room. \nMark your Calendars! \nJazz at the Lake Reimagined Virtual Series:\nThursday\, September 3 at 7pm: Nicole Zuraitis & Dan Pugach\nThursday\, September 10 at 7pm: Frederick Johnson & Michael Ross\nThursday\, September 17 at 7pm: Dan Tepfer\nThursday\, September 24\, at 7pm: Sarah Elizabeth Charles \nOur Jazz at the Lake Reimagined program brings amazing Jazz musicians together for a series of 4 hybrid events that combine performances\, a discussion with the artists and time to ask your favorite musician the questions you’ve been eager to have answered.  All four events will be streamed via Facebook\, YouTube and on The Lake George Arts Project website. Visit our Jazz At The Lake page to learn more about the program\, or join our mailing list (at the bottom of the page). \n  \n   \nthank you to our sponsors:\n    \n     \n

SUMMARY:Jenny Kemp
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is installed in the gallery and available for the public to view when we re-open on July 11\, 2020. The exhibition runs through August 14\, 2020. \nFor updates on our gallery hours please call 518-668-2616\, ​or ​email laura@lakegeorgarts.org. \nIn place of an on-site gallery reception\, LGAP hosted a Live Talk with Jenny Kemp​ ​on July 11th\,  recorded HERE. \nShelter\, gouache\, 15 x 11 inches\, 2020. \nWadding\, gouache\, 15 x 11 inches\, 2020. \n\nJenny Kemp’s vibrant abstract paintings\, drawings and animations reflect phenomena of the natural world. Biomorphic forms are created through hand-painted parallel lines that weave through space. Through pattern repetition\, overlapping shapes\, interactions of contrasting colors\, she creates an illusion of space and movement referencing nature\, biology and human experience. \nShe says: “This body of work is a continued concentration on line and pattern and its ability to embody conduits for trains of thought. I create rhythmic spaces where compositions begin with a revelatory moment and grow into a reactionary process in which linear marks thread\, converse and evolve into breathing forms with teeming energies. Housed within significant shapes that sometimes reference personal events and musings\, these become visual manifestations of discovery\, habitude\, and human navigation.” \nWhirlwind\, gouache\, 15 x 11 inches\, 2020. \nJenny Kemp earned her BS in Art from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison and MFA in Painting from the University at Albany. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the country\, most recently at Gold/Scopophilia* in Montclair\, NJ and the Mandeville Gallery at Union College in Schenectady\, NY. She has been featured in publications such as 100 Painters of Tomorrow published by Thames & Hudson\, New American Paintings\, The Huffington Post\, Seattle’s City Arts\, New York Times\, and The New England Review.

SUMMARY:Algal Blooms in Lake George
DESCRIPTION:Courthouse Gallery Virtual Exhibition\nAlgal Blooms in Lake George\nThe Natural Beauty of Algae… and Its Warning\n[a view from under the surface of Lake George] \nThis June the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery had planned a one-week exhibition featuring Kathy Bozony’s work documenting and researching the algal blooms in Lake George.  We were unable to host a reception for the exhibition due to the current Covid-19 Public Health Emergency\, but we have created an online gallery here\, and a link to Kathy’s presentation HERE. \nKathy Bozony has been documenting algal blooms in Lake George for over 10 years.  She has taken thousands of underwater photographs and shared them with the Lake communities. The importance of sharing these photographs has been a dedicated undertaking\, as the prevalence of excess algae in Lake George is not a given\, but an anomaly for this type of lake.  It is a fact that algae naturally occur in all waterbodies\, but excessive algae growth does indicate a problem\, and we should be concerned. \n\nKathy sent us this statement about her research: \nCan we SAVE the QUEEN of American Lakes? \nLake George is an oligotrophic lake\, defined as a waterbody with clear\, deep water and little organic productivity (minimal plants and algae growth). \nLake George was classified in the 1940’s as Class AA-Special (AA-S)fresh surface water.  Five lakes in New York State have this AA-S designation\, indicating best usage as a source of drinking water\, swimming\,recreationand fishing. This ‘best use’ classification determines water quality standards that specify a maximum amount of a pollutant that can be present in a waterbody.  No reclassification of water quality has occurred since. \nBut what has changed?   Should we be concerned? \nLand use and development surrounding Lake George is causing what you see in these photos\, excessive algae growth.  Arapid increase in a population of algae (phytoplankton present in water) is defined as an algal bloom\, which should not be visible in an oligotrophic lake. \nA waterbody naturally ages over thousands of years.  Accelerated aging (what we are witnessing in Lake George within our lifetime)\, is a consequence of land use and development decisions.  These choices have increased water quality degradation and possible changes in lake classification\, from oligotrophic to mesotrophic (or eutrophic\, which is characterized by high nutrient loads that cause a significant increase in plant and algae growth\, as well as reduced water clarity and oxygen depletion).  ‘Cultural eutrophication’ is a term used to define an expedited aging of a waterbody caused by human activity. \nAre the algal blooms that have been documented in Lake George the ‘Canary in the Coal Mine’that demands our immediate attention?  How can we not recognize that the water quality changes that we are witnessing are so obvious?  That alone should prompt actionto preserve this nationally recognized resource that we are privileged to enjoy\, in all its capacity. \nThe nutrients and pollutants that are impacting Lake George’s water quality flow into the lake from unmanaged stormwater\, inadequately treated wastewater (which includes onsite septic systems and municipal wastewater treatment plants)\, fertilizer and pesticide use\, winter road salt and other pollutants within the watershed.  With the changes in the Lake’s water quality that we have all witnessed within the past 20+ years\, we can only hope that municipalities and towns within the Lake George Park begin to make changes in their regulations and enforcement.  In addition to municipal responsibility\, residents\, businesses (including motels)\, lake visitors and guests must act on the importance of conscientious lake preservation. \nMicroscopic analysis of the algae sampled from the lake within the past 10 years has identified many varieties of algae genus\, including algae that grows in sewage treatment plants.  The awareness of the genus of algae present in Lake George that identify ‘probable organic pollution’ indicates that there are outdated\, poorly designed and/or failing septic systems on the lands surrounding the lake.  This needs to be addressed. \nIt’s up to you… \nPreserving Lake George water quality is certainly more important than a green\, weed free lawn; an unobstructed view of the lake if it means that all trees and vegetation are removed from the property and shoreline for that view; and living with an antiquated\, poorly designed\, inadequately maintained or failing septic system.

SUMMARY:Lee Malerich and Michael Van Winkle
DESCRIPTION:Courthouse Gallery Virtual Exhibition + Online Event:\nSculpture by Lee Malerich and Paintings by Michael Van Winkle\nMay 9 – June 12\, 2020\nView our recorded talk with the Artists!\nIn place of a Gallery Reception on May 9\, 2020\,  The Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presented an online talk with exhibiting artists Lee Malerich and Michael Van Winkle. For those that were unable to tune in for the Live Talk\, follow the link above\, or click the photo. \n*Unfortunately the recording started ten minutes in\, so we are missing some footage of Lee\, who went first\, talking about her work. \nFollow these links to a brief slideshow film about each artist and their work:\nLee Malerich  \nMichael Van Winkle \nFollow these links to view work for sale:\nLee Malerich Checklist of works\nMichael Van Winkle Checklist of works \nThis exhibition will be installed in the gallery\, but while public health mandates related to COVID 19 are in place\, the gallery will remain closed\, and we will not host any receptions or meetings. 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. Learn more about Lee Malerich at leemalerich.wordpress.com. \nMichael Van Winkle\, “In the Wet with Shards”\, acrylic on canvas\, 46 x 30 inches. \nMichael Van Winkle’s paintings stem from a mix of observation\, invention and memory. 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.

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. Solomon Charitable Trust; 518 Profiles; Mannix Marketing; Price Chopper’s Golub Foundation; and LGAP members.  Please Join us today! \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY. \nPlease NOTE: Regular Gallery hours are temporarily suspended due to COVID-19 health emergency.  Call 518-668-2616 or visit www.lakegeorgearts.org for updates. \n  \nthank you to our sponsors:\n                 \n

SUMMARY:in a blue time - solo exhibition by Justin Baker
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours: Wed – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm\nListen HERE for Justin’s interview with NCPR’s Mitch Teich  \n“hand\, shadow\, weed and New Yorker page.” Archival inkjet print\, 2018 \nJustin Baker’s exhibition\, in a blue time\, is a product of his extensive “and at times exhaustive” exploration of photography as an alchemic process and medium. 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

SUMMARY:Ken Ragsdale
DESCRIPTION:Memory As Process RevisitedA solo exhibition of work by Ken Ragsdale\nNov 2 to Dec 6\, 2019 \nOpening Reception: Sat\, Nov 2\, 4-6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours:Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pmSat 12 – 4 pm. \nKen Ragsdale’s work is constructed from his childhood memories\, particularly of camping in the Pacific Northwest\, and his current reflections on the growth of America as a nation. 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. 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. The 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. \nthank you to our sponsors:

SUMMARY:SEVEN COUNT: "After the Tone"
DESCRIPTION:Running from September 14 through October 19\, 2019\, the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents After the Tone\, a unique multidisciplinary\, improvisational\, multimedia installation which will include two separate live performances created by the artist collective Seven Count: Angus McCullough\, Jake Nussbaum and Adam Tinkle.  \nOn September 14\, 6.30 pm\, Seven Count will play a variety of instruments (trumpet\, saxophone\, guitar\, percussion) and a vast library of samples\, taking audiences on a genre-bending improvisatory trip embedded in the immersive installation they created specifically for the Courthouse Gallery.  (Lake George Arts Project Jazz Weekend fans\, note that this event takes place between sets of musicians performing in nearby Shepard Park\, allowing time to attend both.) There will be a closing reception on October 19\, 4 – 6 pm\, including a second live performance at 5 pm that is the culmination of content gathered during this 5-week exhibition.  All events are FREE. \nThe exhibition After the Tone is expected to evolve in response to viewer participation. 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. 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. The 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. \nthank you to our sponsors:
