In addition to five GRAMMY Award Nominated albums with Joey Alexander\, Christian McBride Trio\, John Beasley’s Monk’estra\, and Gregory Porter. Both Jazziz and Rolling Stone Magazines picked his album “Songs of Freedom\,” as a Top Ten Album for 2019 and in 2021; his most recent Big Band release\, “Soul Conversations\,” was voted the top album in May 2021 by JazzIz Magazine. “Soul Conversations\,” received rave reviews and was added to multiple playlists on Apple Music\, Spotify\, and Sirius XM; and now the band is touring nationally. The Ulysses Owens Jr. Big Band has also been voted “Rising Star Big Band ” of 2022 by Downbeat Magazine. His upcoming eighth album release A New Beat\, will feature his new “Generation Y” Band on the Cellar Jazz record label. The album was produced by Jeremy Pelt and recorded at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studios\, in New Jersey. \nAbout Generation Y\nGeneration Y is a band concept that was conceived back in 2019 with the goal promoting the next generation of dynamic talent from the top music conservatories in NYC and beyond. Led by Ulysses Owens Jr. who is a Multi Grammy Award-winning Drummer\, Producer\, Educator\, Author and Cultural Entrepreneur. \nServing at The Juilliard School in the role of Small Ensemble Director within the Jazz Department for the last 8 years\, has given Ulysses a front row seat to this Generation’s top talent. Ulysses Owens Jr.\, has been the driving force behind such great artists as Nicholas Payton\, Christian McBride\, Wynton Marsalis\, Mulgrew Miller\, Joey Alexander and many others. Through his relationship with these great bandleaders he learned of the legacy of Art Blakey and Betty Carter\, both of whom were renowned for their own bands (which became educational institutions) and launched the careers of many of today’s paradigm-shifting musicians on the jazz scene. Generation Y is an updated model of the Jazz Messengers\, and many of these band members also perform in Ulysses’ big band. \nThe band just recorded their debut album “A New Beat” that will be released on the Cellar Live Record label\, in January 2024. The material on this album is a culmination of repertoire from Ulysses’ influences and mentors like Mulgrew Miller\, Roy Hargrove\, George Cables\, and of course the great Art Blakey. This album also features a few original compositions from Benny Benack\, Anthony Hervey\, and the very talented Luther Allison who is an emerging talent performing with Grammy Award-winning vocalist\, Samara Joy as her pianist. The album also features a classic from Louis Armstrong titled Heart Full of Rhythm featuring Milton Suggs\, which learned during his time as the Louis Armstrong Museum ‘“Armstrong Now Artist in Residence.” This album is a culmination of repertoire that has been performed by this band around the world over the last 4 years and to add another level of nostalgia; it was recorded at the Legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studios in Englewood\, NJ. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ulysses Owens Jr. – Drums\nAnthony Hervey – Trumpet\nErena Terakubo – Alto Saxophone\nTyler Bullock – Piano\nGuillermo Lopez – Bass\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n One By One – Ulysses Owens Jr and Generation Y\n \n \n \n \n \n I’m Not So Sure – Ulysses Owens Jr & Generation Y\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \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 Ulysses Owens Jr.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 4 DAYS • 17 SHOWS • 4 SPECIAL EVENTSCELEBRATING 40 YEARS!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THURSDAY 9/12 @ 6PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SATURDAY 9/14 @ 1PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SUNDAY 9/15 @ 10AM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n FRIDAY 9/13 @ 6PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SATURDAY 9/14 @ 3PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SUNDAY 9/15 @ 1PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n FRIDAY 9/13 @ 7:30PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SATURDAY 9/14 @ 5PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SUNDAY 9/15 @ 3PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SATURDAY 9/14 @ 9AM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SATURDAY 9/14 @ 8PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SUNDAY 9/15 @ 5PM URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/ulysses-owens-jr-generation-y/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz at the lake ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/5-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240914T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240914T211500 DTSTAMP:20260416T035932 CREATED:20240425T131208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240426T100126Z UID:13397-1726344000-1726348500@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Nicole Zuraitis DESCRIPTION:About Nicole\nNicole Zuraitis is a GRAMMY® Award-winning (2024) jazz singer-songwriter\, pianist and arranger\, New York-based bandleader\, and winner of the prestigious 2021 American Traditions Vocal Competition Gold Medal.

He returned over the years with his Emerge Trio\, the WORKS Trio with Joe Lovano\, and his multimedia collaboration with The Seeing with Photography Collective\, Blind Visionaries\, inaugurating the first Friday evening Jazz at the Lake performance. \nAn artist who explores the meeting place of music with literature\, visual art and journalism with his various projects\, Daniel has created several works that incorporate poetry\, including All the World’s a Song: Shakespeare in Jazz\, which interprets Shakespeare’s words as lyrics to jazz songs. \nIn honor of the 40th anniversary of the festival\, Daniel uses the poetry of Paul Pines as inspiration for the music for this year’s performance. Paul\, who founded the Lake George Jazz Weekend along with John Strong in 1984\, was a dear friend to Daniel. He previously collaborated with Paul in his final months in 2018\, composing settings for poems from his book Gathering Sparks in a 45-minute suite scored for a jazz septet titled Museum of the Infinite. This year\, Daniel will explore Paul’s poetry throughout his writing career\, anthologized in the collection A Furnace in the Shadows: Selected Poems. \nKelly’s music has been declared “powerfully moving” by Time Out New York. He has performed with Grammy-award winners Joe Lovano & Nicole Zuraitis\, hip-hop star Lauryn Hill\, cutting-edge modern classical The Bang on a Can All-Stars and a long list of jazz musicians such as NEA Jazz Masters Dave Liebman & Sheila Jordan\, Don Byron\, Donny McCaslin\, Bobby Sanabria and many others. \nRakonto\, Kelly’s series of interview-based concerts\, have been commissioned by 13 performing art centers across the US. Each of these concert-length works have transformed stories of everyday people – farmers\, teachers\, students\, seniors\, immigrants and hurricane survivors – into dramatic and compelling music that celebrates our shared human experience. \nDaniel has been honored to continue Paul’s role as Curator of Jazz at the Lake for the past five years. \n“I remain convinced that Daniel Kelly is one of the most stunningly original talents both as an improviser and a leader that I have known in a long career of promoting this art form.

We sleep as our bodies lay dying\, preferring the limitlessness and safety of fantasies rather than the reality of the growing inferno. Our inability to acknowledge or agree on a collective logic has ensnared us into a new Dark Age\, which will likely lead to our extinction\, or worse\, mass obsolescence to simulacra. The human figures in the robotic installation Corpo and the mechanisms that prop them up serve as a metaphor for our collective denialism. \nEach figure in the installation is in a state of deep sleep as they work\, ride the subway\, watch tv\, or lounge on arm chairs. Unpredictably\, they are put into states of chaotic and violent inertia by the machines they are literally attached to. To ensure the figures stay blissfully sleeping\, an artificial intelligence continuously fills the installation space with a soothing generatively made soundscape\, which acts as a surrogate mother\, humming an endless lullaby. By this the installation Corpo reflects our global culture of looking the other way\, even when our existence is so obviously in peril. \nThe film\nin the electric tower\,\nthat is the dominant\ndisplay. \nEarly in the year 2023\, I had an extraordinarily vivid dream. In this dream\, a sage\, seated inside a large circular hole cut into a stage\, urgently exclaimed to me\, “The film in the electric tower\, that is the dominant display!” The moment was so profound that I awoke suddenly\, scrambling to find something to write with so I wouldn’t forget the message. Since that night\, the sage’s words have resonated\, leaving me bewildered yet intrigued as I struggle to understand their meaning. \nIn this exhibition\, I invite viewers to contemplate their own “electric towers” and “films.” What dominant displays shape your perceptions? What crucial messages are waiting to be screened in your consciousness? Through this body of work\, I aim to illuminate these questions and encourage a deeper understanding of the narratives that define our existence. \n\n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nGardens of Earthly Delights\n“Bureaucracy is the art of making the possible impossible.” – Javier Pascual Salcedo \nShame on us\, the children of the future\, for remaining in the dark on cannabis\, a substance ingrained in human history since antiquity. Our comprehension\, obstructed by our delight in distorting reality\, political agendas and bureaucratic absurdities\, remains tragically inadequate in discerning marijuana’s benefits or poisons. For over a century\, “reefer madness” narratives have imprisoned culture and thwarted intellect\, twisting our view on a subject that should be crystal clear\, given our miraculous technologies. Shame on us! \nThanks to the courage of pioneering scholars and researchers\, we have managed to harvest precious limited data on the effects of high-potency cannabis on the population. Yet\, compared to the encyclopedias we have on other\, often younger substances\, what is known is laughable and mostly anecdotal. Until science is free to investigate cannabis without fear of academic\, cultural or legal repercussions\, attempting to create sober policy or regulations on this mysterious substance is as absurd as wondering if\, and how\, space bears can become intoxicated by marijuana. \nBiography: \nFrom robots that hold protests\, extruders that birth populations and machines that are designed for the dead to operate\, Fernando Orellana has collaborated with automation for over twenty years to create transmedia artwork. As a machine designer\, a technologist and a user\, Orellana has blurred the line between himself and the machine in the creative process. The imagery and narrative that Orellana explores spans a spectrum that includes giving agency to automata\, embraces the generatively made\, celebrates the wonder of absurdity and is most often driven by the universes of his subconscious mind. \nHe has exhibited at a variety of regional\, national and international venues\, most recently at the Toledo Museum of Art\, the Speed Art Museum\, the Spring Break Art Show and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. He received a Master of Fine Art from The Ohio State University\, a Bachelor of Fine Art at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently an Associate Professor of Digital Art in the Visual Arts Department at Union College. He was born in El Salvador\, San Salvador. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCourthouse Gallery 1 Lower Amherst Street Lake George\, NY 12845 518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PM Saturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PM\nFor exhibition information or to schedule a visit outside of gallery hours please contactJune Waters\, Director of Exhibitions june@lakegeorgearts.org 518-668-2616\nThank you to our exhibition sponsors!

I allow the piece to dictate the medium; therefore\, one medium may feed the color saturation\, while another may best enhance shape\, form and pattern. My work is heavily influenced by the natural world\, my surroundings\, color\, repetition and patterns. I am also inspired by the binary energies of chaos and order\, growth and decay. Within my paintings\, I combine elements of representation and abstraction to show this inspiration\, while incorporating a strong sense of beauty. \nMy artwork often starts with an ordered approach while my ideas get outlined on the surface. Influenced by color\, shapes\, and light\, the process of painting develops with many layers. Repetitious forms and patterns emerge\, creating abstract and playful landscapes. My abstractions reflect the journeys and paths we discover in the process of living amidst this natural order. The repetition of object and form attempts to further understand and interpret the natural rhythmic order of the universe—micro and macro—as exhibited by the natural things all around us. \nMy focus is driven by my desire to understand how individual elements and pieces come together to create a whole. My current works use cellular structures as a point of reference. Using ovals and circles as my primary shape\, I begin with a repetition of these shapes to create an abstract environment into which these shapes move along the two-dimensional surface. Working in layers\, I create a floating environment that can be cellular\, floral\, or purely abstract. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Bio \nAli Herrmann is a mixed media painter based in Troy\, NY. Raised in the bucolic Berkshires of Massachusetts\, Herrmann developed an early interest in the raw beauty of the natural landscape\, the ever-changing seasons\, and the rich flora and fauna of the region. \nThroughout her nearly 30-year career as an artist\, Herrmann has been awarded multiple grants including the New York State Council for the Arts (2023\, 2022); A.R.T. fund\, NY (2020); Martha Boschen Porter Fund Grant from the Berkshire Taconic Foundation\, MA (2019\, 2014); and a Massachusetts Cultural Council grant (2017). She has exhibited widely including Ford Studios\, VA; The Arts Center of the Capital Region\, NY; Albany Center Gallery\, NY; Emerge Gallery\, NY; and The Berkshire Museum\, MA. Her work is in the permanent collections of RCA Screen Gems Productions\, CA; Sony Pictures Entertainment\, NY; Red Lion Inn\, MA; as well as several private collections. Artist residencies include the Millay Arts\, NY (2020); Main Street Arts\, NY (2017); and the Vermont Studio Center\, VT (2007). She studied Fine Arts at Bennington College\, VT\, achieving a BFA (1998) in painting and printmaking. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCourthouse Gallery1 Lower Amherst StreetLake George\, NY 12845518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PM Saturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PM\nFor exhibition information or to schedule a visitoutside of gallery hours please contactJune Waters\, Director of Exhibitions june@lakegeorgearts.org 518-668-2616\nThank you to our exhibition sponsors!\nThe Town of Lake GeorgeThe Village of Lake GeorgeNYSCAThe Alfred Z.

His love of art and the outdoors led him to the life of a photographer\, and although he worked in many fields of photography\, landscape photography is his real love. His early work was influenced by photographers Edward Weston\, Ansel Adams\, Minor Whyte\, and Wynn Bullock.  \nHe soon developed his own style which was more personal and abstract.  Most of his early work was done with a 4 x 5 View Camera shooting black and white; today he works with digital cameras in both black and white and color. \nHe was awarded a grant to photograph in Antarctica in 2015.

Drawing from my childhood in Auroville\, India—a commune founded on utopian ideals of perfect humanity—I explore the alluring facade of a perfect place that ultimately reveals humanity’s capacity for violence. \nI grew up in Auroville\, an experimental township in India devoted to human unity\, founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (“the Mother”) and designed by architect Roger Anger. Living there for 8 years\, I attended Transition School\, where my education focused on our connection with the surrounding environment\, emphasizing notions of awareness and empathy. Leaving Auroville and traveling with my mother\, I became fascinated by the contrasting reality behind the idealized image I grew up with. \nMy work is dedicated to questioning our traditional painting heritage\, referencing and altering both landscape painting and classical interior décor imagery. I paint on used fabrics that have flower or plant pattern reminiscent of traditional bourgeois interiors. Staining and cutting these fabrics\, I deliberately alter and disrupt their original visibility. Referencing movements like the Hudson River School and 18th- and 19th-century European landscape painting\, I adapt my painting crafting fragmented and decaying landscapes. My landscapes are strange yet familiar\, inviting viewers to lose themselves in this illusory sense of peace and calm. Here\, the boundaries blur between pleasure and harm\, beauty and destruction\, challenging us to question how these notions coexist. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Artist \nLola Lefrançois is a French artist based in New York City. Inspired by her childhood in the commune of Auroville\, India\, she explores the intricate relationship between humanity\, nature\, and violence. In 2019\, she completed her Bachelor of Studio Art at The École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon and her MFA in 2023 at the City College of New York. Since then\, she has actively participated in residency programs such as The Canopy Program\, ChaNorth\, Monson Arts\, the NARS Foundation Program (2024)\, and The Rockella Residency Program (2023). \nLola has showcased her work in several exhibitions in New York City and France. Her recent and upcoming solo exhibitions include “The Eye of the River” at Lake George\, NY (2025)\, “A Parakeet’s Whisper?” at One-Eyed Studios\, NY (2023)\, and “Fish Don’t Die With Their Eyes Closed” at C&G Gallery\, City College of New York\, NY (2023). Her group exhibitions include “Bodiless Body” at the NARS Foundation (2024)\, “What We Did Last Summer” at C&G Gallery\, NY (2022)\, and Les ÉVAsions des Arts (“The Escape of the Arts”) in Villy en Auxois\, France (2020). She was awarded the 1st Prize of The Kenza Scholarship for the Arts in 2021. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCourthouse Gallery1 Lower Amherst StreetLake George\, NY 12845518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PM Saturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PM\nFor exhibition information or to schedule a visitoutside of gallery hours please contactJune Waters\, Director of Exhibitions june@lakegeorgearts.org 518-668-2616\nThank you to our exhibition sponsors!

After living 30 years in the Adirondack Mountains\, she and her husband have relocated and established their studio in Altamont\, New York.Her explorations in art making are varied. Ms. DeAngelo studied Fine Art at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Her concentrations were in Painting and Printmaking. She graduated with a BFA and went on to earn her MSEd from Potsdam College. Working with children has been a passion and inspiration for Ms. DeAngelo. Having taught hundreds of young artists over her career\, Ms. DeAngelo shares their love of exploration and discovery.In addition to teaching art in the classroom setting\, Ms. DeAngelo has facilitated murals\, art clubs\, and community art enrichment programs. Ms. DeAngelo has worked in large scale installation\, mural painting\, studio painting\, sculpture\, printmaking\, fabric arts and jewelry creation. She is a member of the Schenectady Art Society\, Albany Artists Group\, Firehouse Painters and ArtWorks. As a studio artist\, she was an Artist in Residence at Arlene’s Artist Materials for two years\, where she is now a One-on-One Mentor for artists. She continues her explorations of the intersections between personal history and plant forms using printmaking\, painting and stitching. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Statment:\nEach of the paintings in this show contains scraps of my life. Some are precious\, my parents’ love letters and my grandfather’s college notes\, while others are more common\, the bits of a mylar birthday balloon or a piece of paint stained paper towel I cleaned my tools with. The “canvas” of the works are playing cards\, each collaged with life pieces held together with paint. Some I have stitched together\, a skill learned from my mother\, that I find myself returning to in cycles within my creative life. The stitches are a tool I used to combine the parts of these works and “draw” with line and color.When creating this body of work\, I gave myself the challenge to limit the color palette of the backgrounds to five colors that I used in varied amounts in every piece in the show. These colors are the bridge between the bits of life collage and the final layer of flora. I chose to create images of flowers because their lifespan is short and is impacted by the environment they bloom in. There is an external beauty in flowers\, but also a beauty in the internal workings that we do not see\, allowing them to grow\, adapt and create food.  I believe that our lives and our sense of self are stitched together from the interactions and environments we have experienced and the actions we choose going forward. We are a quilt of our past and present\, the beautiful parts along with the torn and damaged. We can look for the beauty in the small moments and create change to improve our lives and that of others. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Project Localat theCaldwell-Lake George Library336 Canada StreetLake George\, NY518-668-2528\n  \nHours:Weekdays:  10:00 AM – 5:00 PMSaturdays: 10:00 AM – 2:00PM\n\n  \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/17624/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Project-Local-1920-x-1080-px-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250312T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250412T170000 DTSTAMP:20260416T035933 CREATED:20250226T205404Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251003T102133Z UID:17439-1741780800-1744477200@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Ario Elami: Numinous Altars DESCRIPTION:Ario Elami:  Numinous Altars\nMarch 12 through April 12\, 2025\nArtist’s ReceptionSaturday\, March 22nd4:00 – 6:00 PM\nNuminous: Something mysterious\, supernatural\, spiritual\, awe-inspiring\, and perhaps holy.\nAltar: A table\, as in early forms of architecture\, used as the focus for a religious ritual\, often for making offerings to a deity.\n \n \n \n \n \n Bio\nArio Elami\, is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts’ MFA program through Tufts University\, a composer\, author\, and artist whose work explores architecture as the tension between human design and nature. Claiming dual citizenship as an Iranian and North American\, he has spent much of his life on the east coast and in Michigan. \nElami works exclusively on paper in an often limited palette\, with the resulting works resembling prints or bookplates. They appear to be timeless\, as if found from a remote past in a secret library. Each piece resembles the type of anthropological or archeological drawings made to document temples\, palaces\, sacrificial sites\, or necropolises found in jungles\, and not fully understood by their discoverers. Elami\, in depicting undefined architectural sites of relics or ruins\, allows us to dream of uses both sacred and profane; to explore the tension between human design and nature on the verge of reclaiming its primacy. Elami’s latest art has developed in tandem with an understanding of the earliest architecture as numinous altars\, and a perception of nature as a roiling mass of aggressive life\, perpetuating itself through overabundance. In this vision\, architecture manifested out of violent\, spiritual rituals\, externalizing what is internal. Elami sees architecture\, revitalized with its primitive and mythopoeic qualities\, as a portal back to a cosmos overflowing with meaning and mystery. \n  \n \n LEARN MORE ABOUT ARIO ELAMI'S WORK\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Images from top\nWorld Machine III\, Colored Pencil\, pen and watercolor on paperWorld Machine II\, Colored Pencil\, pen\, and watercolor on paperTemple to a Fungal Spirit\, Colored pencil\, pen\, and watercolor on paper\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Courthouse Gallery\n1 Lower Amherst StreetLake George\, NY 12845518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PMSaturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PMSundays: 12:00 – 4:00 PM (June – September)Select Sundays Monthly (October – May)\nOr give us a call if you are in town.

My work continues this tradition while speaking to contemporary concerns about presence and interaction. I rely on formal content – the meaning extends from color relationships and mark-making\, while engaging with feminist art’s tradition of challenging hierarchical distinctions between abstract and embodied experience. \nWhile the forms in my paintings and sculpture often echo natural and floral shapes\, they deliberately play with and subvert traditionally ‘feminine’ imagery. My sinuous lines and flower-like forms are exaggerated and transformed into something more ambiguous and challenging – sometimes even unsettling. My work takes stereotypically ‘feminine’ organic shapes and makes them monumental\, unavoidable\, and slightly alien. These forms don’t politely decorate – they command space and demand engagement. \nMy recent work explores the choreography of pattern and void. The pieces float and interact like notes in a visual score\, creating rhythms through both color and shape. While I embrace traditionally ‘feminine’ colors like pink\, I deliberately disrupt their sweetness by introducing structural elements and unexpected color combinations. The negative spaces become as important as the forms themselves\, turning the white wall into an active participant in the composition. This interplay between structure and fluidity\, presence and absence\, reflects my interest in how ‘feminine’ imagery can be both acknowledged and challenged within the same piece. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n My early training in dance continues to influence how I think about space\, movement\, and the body’s relationship to its position. Each installation becomes a kind of choreographed environment where forms perform in space\, creating temporal experiences that unfold as viewers move through them. The suspended pieces in particular engage in a slow dance with gravity\, while their shadows create an ever-changing performance on walls and floors. This understanding of movement and spatial relationships informs everything from my initial drawings to final installation decisions. \nBio\nAdria Arch is a mixed media artist living and working in Arlington\, Massachusetts. She is interested in creating immersive experiences with sculpture and paint\, using hand-cut or laser-cut lightweight polystyrene plastic to create sculptural forms that populate my large-scale colorful installations. Her work references the things seen every day- from neighborhood flower gardens to the ever-growing skyline of Boston. She has a vocabulary of shapes that includes ladders\, grids\, and spirals. The installations of hanging painted sculptures are whimsical\, playful spaces that provide an experience of both delight and surprise. \nArch has had solo exhibitions at Danforth Art in Framingham\, MA\, the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury\, MA\, and the Hunt Gallery at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia. She has completed site specific murals at Lesley University’s Porter Square building in Cambridge\, MA\, Stonehill College\, and Danforth Art in Framingham\, MA. Arch has been awarded residencies at Vermont Studio Center\, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts\, Sanskriti Foundation in Delhi\, and in Auvillar\, France. Her work is included in many private and public collections including the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum\, Fidelity Corporation\, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. In 2019 her work was featured at the Fitchburg Art Museum\, and in 2020 at the Cahoon Museum of American Art. Most recently\, Arch was commissioned by Google to do a room-sized installation. Arch showed installations at the Boston Sculptors Gallery\, Brattleboro Art Museum in Vermont and the Danforth Museum in Framingham\, MA. Her work will be on view at the San Luis Obispo Art Museum in 2025. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Images:Top: Detail\, Holding the Center 4\, 2025\, Acrylic on synthetic paper\, 8′ x 4′Right top:  Shape of Things\, 2025\, Acrylic on polystyreneRight bottom:  Holding the Center 4\, 2025\, Acrylic on synthetic paper\, 8′ x 4′ URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/airwaves-painting-and-sculpture-by-adria-arch/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Arch-detail-1920-x-1080-px.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250517T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250517T160000 DTSTAMP:20260416T035933 CREATED:20250509T201901Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250512T162408Z UID:18791-1747479600-1747497600@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:The 2nd Annual Lake George Block Party DESCRIPTION:Join the fun at the\nThe 2nd AnnualLake George Block Party!\n  \nVisit our Boothin the yard ofSt. James Episcopal churchon Montcalm Street.\nSpecial Guest!\nAction Painter Mark Grimaldiwill demonstrate his techniqueas he paints in the style of Jackson Pollock. \n\n \n \n \n \n  \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/the-2nd-annual-lake-george-block-party/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Untitled-1920-x-1080-px-copy.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
