SUMMARY:Alaina Enslen: Rewilding
DESCRIPTION:Alaina Enslen: Rewilding\nMarch 28 – May 10\, 2026 \n\nMy newest body of encaustic and textile collages embraces a wilder\, more untamed energy. By deconstructing fabric—fraying\, pulling\, and cutting apart—I allow it to shed its fixed function and become something more vital\, raw\, and expressive. Wax holds these fragments in tension: preserving looseness while amplifying texture\, gesture\, and movement. \n  \nHudson Valley artist\, Alaina Enslen\, merges fiber and encaustics to explore the poetics of memory\, identity\, and transformation. Rooted in personal narrative\, her work engages the tactile and symbolic potential of cloth\, wax\, and paper—materials that carry both cultural significance and intimate resonance. \n\nEnslen has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally to include museums\, galleries\, universities\, and academic conferences in Lisbon\, Porto\, Rio de Janeiro and at other major cities. Enslen is currently represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson\, New York.  \n  \nOPENING RECEPTION\nSaturday\, March 28\, 3 – 5 pm \nPlease join us to meet the artist and view the works; light refreshments will be served. \n  \nThe WRCA galleries and art reception are always free and open to the public. \nGallery hours: Friday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm \n  \nImage: Alaina Enslen\, The Unfurling of a Wild Thread\, encaustic and textile\, 12 x 12 in.\, 2025

SUMMARY:Flux & Form: Wax as a Material
DESCRIPTION:Flux & Form: Wax as a Material\nCurated by Alaina Enslen \nMarch 28 – May 10\, 2026  \n\nThis group exhibition brings together contemporary artists working with wax as a primary material\, many drawing from the ancient encaustic tradition. One of the oldest known painting methods\, encaustic has been used for centuries\, yet continues to evolve through contemporary practices. Inspired by the natural world\, the works in this exhibition explore wax’s capacity to preserve\, transform\, and record time\, bridging historical technique with present-day material inquiry. \nExhibiting artists: Regina Quinn\, Allyson Levy\, Christina Brady\, Michele Randall\, Lorraine Glessner\, Dietlind Vander Schaaf\, Sally Hootnick\, Teri Yacovelli\, and Laura Martinez Bianco. \nThis exhibition is organized by Alaina Enslen and runs concurrently with her solo show\,  Rewilding. \n  \nHudson Valley artist\, Alaina Enslen\, merges fiber and encaustics to explore the poetics of memory\, identity\, and transformation. Rooted in personal narrative\, her work engages the tactile and symbolic potential of cloth\, wax\, and paper—materials that carry both cultural significance and intimate resonance. \n\nEnslen has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally to include museums\, galleries\, universities\, and academic conferences in Lisbon\, Porto\, Rio de Janeiro and at other major cities.

SUMMARY:CONCERT | An Evening of AMBIENT MUSIC with Neil Alexander\, Craig Chin\, and Adam Holquist
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2026 Arthur Patchett Memorial Music Series\, Curated by vocalist\, composer\, and WRCA Board member Judi Silvano\, Wallkill River Center for the Arts (WRCA) is pleased to present … \n  \nThursday\, April 16\, 7 – 9 pm \nAn Evening of AMBIENT MUSIC\nwith Neil Alexander\, Craig Chin\, and Adam Holquist \n@ Wallkill River Center for the Arts \n\n  \n\nPLEASE NOTE\, the concert series is free and open to the public with a suggested donation of $20/person. Due to the intimate nature of concert locations and limited seating\, advance registration is recommended but not required. To reserve your seat\, register by purchasing a FREE ticket – at bottom of event page. \n  \n_______________ \n\n\nAbout the performers:\n  \nNEIL “NAIL” ALEXANDER \nProlific master pianist\, synthesist\, keyboardist and composer Neil “Nail” Alexander has had a career spanning more than 4 decades. \nHe remains passionately involved in multiple performance and production projects – including NAIL\, Cloudburst\, Mr. Gone\, X Ensemble\, Supercluster – across multiple genres – including jazz\, rock\, funk\, blues\, electronica\, ambient and contemporary chamber music. Neil has toured worldwide across the US\, Mexico\, Canada and Europe. \nNeil has been involved with Modern Dance Choreographers for 40 years\, teaches master classes in electronic music production and heads the Ableton Hudson Valley User Group. In 2015 Neil was awarded Individual Artist of the Year by the Orange County Arts Council and is endorsed by Moog Music. \nHe has worked with The Mahavishnu Project\, Rez Abasi\, Judi Silvano\, Gunter Hampel\, Joe Lovano\, Marty Balin\, Corey Glover\, and more. \nRecent recordings include “Check Your Vibration”(Nail Jung)\, “Solos/Duos/Trios”(Neil Alexander)\, a solo piano performance of the “Rite of Spring”(2013)\, and NAIL Live at the Blue Note\, NYC. \n  \nCRAIG CHIN \nERRANT SPACE – AMBIENT SOUNDSCAPES is a project of composer/recordist Craig Chin. Its goal is spatio-temporal dilation through sound. Performances are site-specific\, spontaneous compositions influenced by both the physical characteristics of the space they are performed in and the occupants of that space. \nCraig creates soundscapes that are simultaneously unobtrusive and interesting\, creating an atmosphere where the environment and audience are enveloped in a sort of subliminal soundscape. \nBrian Eno coined the term Ambient Music in the 1970’s\, defining it as music that “must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.” This is the essence of the Errant Space philosophy. \nCraig produces the monthly Errant Space Podcast featuring experimental and electronic musicians and curates several music series\, including a monthly electronic and experimental night and the Space Out\, Outside series. He also has a weekly radio show\, The Space Program\, on Vassar College’s Station WVKR. \n  \n  \nADAM HOLQUIST \nONEWAYNESS – podcast focused on the arts\, politics\, and current events – is Adam Holquist\, a composer\, musician\, sound designer\, and multimedia creator from Erie\, Pennsylvania. \nHe uses guitars\, pianos\, analog and digital synthesis\, spoken word and field recordings\, and a variety of hardware and software tools to create atmospheric and textural music which draws influence from a variety of sources. \nSince 2011\, he has given hundreds of live performances and released over 40 albums and EP’s. His work has been featured on both terrestrial and streaming radio stations\, charted on Zone Music Reporter’s weekly Top 100 ambient music airplay charts\, and reviewed by publications in the US and abroad. \nAdam has created original music and sound design for theatre\, independent films\, art installations and also serves as curator of the ElectroFLUX Experimental Music Series\, presenting creative music from local to international artists. \n  \n\n\n_______________ \n  \nWRCA’s 2026 concert series has been made possible thanks to the following: \n  \n \n  \n \n \n \n \n \nWallkill River Center for the Arts programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
