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.

SUMMARY:Legacy Exhibit | George Hayes and Gene Bove
DESCRIPTION:Wallkill River Center for the Arts (WRCA) annual Legacy Exhibit\, on view February 21 through March 22\, 2026 features two well-loved and dearly missed artists\, George Hayes and Gene Bove.  \n  \nGeorge Hayes started painting with what was then the Wallkill River School in 2003\, often arriving at plein air class on his motorcycle. “Besides being hella cool\, George was a genuinely nice person\,” enthused Shawn Dell Joyce\, founding WRCA executive director.    \nHayes was known to take new artists under his wing and freely share techniques. He often demonstrated perspective to newbies and was soon hired to demonstrate for the plein air series. It wasn’t long before he developed a following\, and started teaching classes. George made himself invaluable in the office as well\, and was soon on regular rotation as office staff.  \n“George was more than a friend to most of us\,” continued Dell Joyce.  “He was respectful and kind to all. He made us all better people\, whether in the board meetings or out plein air painting.” \n  \nGene Bove joined “Landscapes on Location” at their third outing in Pine Bush in 2001. His wife Marilyn\, saw a write up in the paper and signed them both up. Both became invaluable to forming the fledgling Wallkill River School. Gene had a strong background in advertising and immediately became an asset designing printed matter and ads for the organization. Gene brought a hilarious sense of humor and deep love of painting to the group. He became a partner in the original LLC founded in 2004\, then a founder of the nonprofit in 2008.  \nBove was in high demand and the most popular teacher for many years. Dell Joyce remembers her friend and colleague fondly\, “Gene greeted every situation with his humor and good nature. He kept us all in stitches and giggles while painting.” \n  \nOPENING RECEPTION\nSaturday\, February 21st\, 3 – 5 pm \nPlease join us to view the works and celebrate these artists who were integrally involved with WRCA; 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

SUMMARY:Color My World: Watercolors by Ellen Joyce-Trayer
DESCRIPTION:Color My World: Watercolors by Ellen Joyce-Trayer \n  \nArtist Statement \nThese works are Experimental Watercolors which I’ve been working on this past decade. It is a form of deconstruction….breaking through edges and form to distort reality. The paint can be dripped\, splashed\, splattered\, glazed\, brushed or pulled on the paper surface. The paper is often manipulated to direct the flow of the paint. Since the results are not always in the artist’s control\, the artist must abandon control and be open to take creative detours as the painting reveals itself. \nUltimately\, it is about creating a successful painting which often means the artist must allow the painting and the paint to inform the final creation. \n  \n\nOn view October 31 – extended to December 28\, 2025\n \nGallery hours: Friday – Sunday\,  12 – 5 pm \n  \nImage: Ellen Joyce-Trayer\, Sunset in Africa\, watercolor on paper

SUMMARY:Rosemary Hanson: Home
DESCRIPTION:Rosemary Hanson: Home\n\n“Learning to look” is one of the most fundamental principles for any artist. Intentionally observing what otherwise might be missed in our everyday environment can yield a deeper appreciation when seen through artistic interpretation. It’s so easy to stop noticing the things closest to home because they have become so familiar. But if we stop and change perspective and focus on the little things in our lives\, we can discover beauty and value in what was before mundane. \nOn view September 5 – October 26\, 2025\nGallery hours: Friday – Sunday\,  1 – 5 pm \n\nArtist Reception: Saturday\, September 13\, 5 – 7 pm \nJoin us to celebrate the exhibition and meet the artist; small bites and light refreshment will be served.

SUMMARY:INTERIORS
DESCRIPTION:INTERIORS\, A National Exhibition Juried by Wayne Lempka\, Art Collections Manager at The Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz\, on view September 5 – October 26\, 2025. \nParticipating artists: Richard Arnold\, Donna Faranda\, Carl Grauer\, Yona Gonen\, Lonna Kelly\, Pat MacDonald\, Karen Maloof\, Dan McCormack\, Emilia Moritz\, Mary-Anne Ramirez\, Steven Rushefsky\, Gerald Wein\, Anna West\, Amanda Wolf \nJUROR’S STATEMENT: \nTo understand this exhibition\, one must first contemplate the definition of the word “interiors”. \nOn a basic level this word refers to the spaces we live in\, a home that has rooms consisting of four walls\, windows and doors. If you ask a child to draw a room interior\, in most cases this is what you will get. However\, the meaning of ‘interiors’ is not an easy concept to isolate as it encompasses a broad sphere of emotional experiences\, sensory perceptions\, memories and feelings of nostalgia. \nThe works selected for this exhibition not only fulfill the basic idea of what an interior is but go beyond this concept due to how each artist approaches these spaces – as seen through unique interior or exterior vantage points. These works are not simply documents of what one holds dear in interior spaces but records a sense of life; a sense of being; and a sense of place. \nTaken as a whole\, this exhibition is meant to be a visual investigation into beauty\, personal narrative\, and memory. These paintings\, mixed media pieces\, and photographs provide one with a sense of humor\, power\, weakness\, and mystery. As a viewer\, you are asked to consider an entire range of visual and emotional experiences that room interiors invoke in each of us and then relate these experiences to one’s personal space. \n– Wayne Lempka \n  \nMeet the JUROR: Wayne Lempka is Art Collections Manager of the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at the State University of New York at New Paltz where he is responsible for the care of over 9\,000 objects in the museum’s permanent collection. He has also served as curator at The Dorsky for many exhibitions including Thoughts of Home\, which explored not only how our living environments reflect who we are but how artists use this idea in their creative expression. Prior to his position at The Dorsky\, Mr. Lempka held positions at Storm King Art Center\, the Museum of American Folk Art\, the Cooper-Hewitt National Museum of Design\, (Smithsonian Institute) the Chase Manhattan Bank Corporate Art Program\, The Historic New Orleans Collection and the Barrett Art Center. Mr. Lempka is currently a lecturer in the Department of Art History at Marist University. He has also taught in the Art History Department of SUNY New Paltz. Mr. Lempka holds a BFA degree in Fine Arts and Art History from Pratt Institute\, and a MA in Art History & Museum Studies from New York University. He is currently pursuing his PhD (ABD) at New York University.  \n\nOn view September 5 – October 26\, 2025\nGallery hours: Friday – Sunday\,  12 – 5 pm \n\nArtist Reception: Saturday\, September 13\, 5 – 7 pm\n\nJoin us to celebrate the exhibition and meet the artists; small bites and light refreshment will be served.

SUMMARY:CONCERT | Steve Gorn: Music for the Healing of Mind & Body
DESCRIPTION:Wallkill River Center for the Arts is pleased to present STEVE GORN: MUSIC FOR THE HEALING OF MIND & BODY as part of our 2025 music series. \n  \nFar more than entertainment\, music is a portal for mind-body synchronization; a conduit for engagement in ritual\, group catharsis\, entertainment and a holder of mythology and history.  Steve Gorn explores The Transformative Power of Music in words and live performance. Drawing on Indian classical music this will be an offering of music for healing of the mind\, body\, and soul. \nSteve plays Bansuri Bamboo Flute and will be joined for this special collaborative concert by Naren Budhakar playing tabla percussion\, dancer Savia Berger\, and a special surprise Guest. \n  \nSunday\, August 17\, 3 – 5 pm\nWRCA Galleries at The Patchett House\n232 Ward Street\, Montgomery\, NY \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public with a suggested donation of $20/person. Registration – at bottom of event page –  is requested but not required.  \n_____ \n\n\n\nAbout the performers:\n\n\nSteve Gorn plays Indian Classical Music and new American Music on the bansuri bamboo flute in concerts and festivals throughout the world. His gurus are the late bansuri master\, Sri Gour Goswami\, of Kolkata\, and Pandit Raghunath Seth of Mumbai\, who he has often accompanied in concert. He has also studied with the late Ustad Z. M. Dagar. \nDuring the past decade Steve has often performed in India\, appearing at Bharat Bhavan in Bhopal\, Triveni Hall in New Delhi\, The Sangeet Research Academy in Kolkata\, NCPA\, and The Nehru Center in Mumbai\, and numerous other venues. His performance with Pandit Ravi Shankar’s disciple\, Barun Kumar Pal\, at Kolkata’s Rama Krishna Mission\, was televised throughout India. In the New York area\, he often performs with Pandit Samir Chatterjee as well as the Darbari Ensemble with sitarist\, Allyn Miner and the sarangi master\, Ramesh Misra. \nSri Gour Goswami introduced Steve to the vocal (gayaki) style of bansuri that was first introduced by the legendary flutist\, Padmabhusan Pannalal Ghosh. As a disciple of this illustrious gharana\, the heart of Steve’s playing reflects an attention to meer and gamak and an ‘old world’ rendering of raga which unfolds timelessly and with attention to the rasa\, or color of each note and melodic contour. \nSince 1996\, Steve has continued his study under the illustrious bansuri master\, Pandit Raghunath Seth\, of Mumbai. Raghunathji’s compositions in numerous ragas\, and his performance style are now a prominent feature of Steve’s performances. \n\n  \nNaren Budhakar was born and brought up in the Indian classical music tradition. He began performing Tabla at a young age. A disciple of Tabla Maestro Ustad Shabbir Nisar\, Naren has played with prominent instrumentalists\, vocalists and dancers including Pandit Birju Maharaj\, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan\, Pandit Jasraj and Shaed Parvez. Naren is co-director of the East-West School of Music at Ananda Ashram and as a faculty member teaches and performs regularly. \n  \n  \nSavia Berger is a dancer\, actor\, choreographer and teacher based in the Catskills where she began her career with Catskill Ballet Theater. Her dance credits include Feld Ballets\, NY\, Eglevsky Ballet\, Basel Ballet (Switzerland)\, Les Danse Donsk (choreographer Mark Allen Davis) and many other independent choreographers. She was featured as an actor in Kismet and performed as a dancer in Brigadoon with the New York City Opera. She went on to study voice and acting and became a member of the original Broadway workshop of Fosse (Director Chet Walker) for a year. \nHer credits as a choreographer and improvisational dancer include Cy Tombly Dreamhouse\, a multi-media evening directed by Marilyn Crispell; collaborations with Peter and Peter (Peter Einhorn\, Peter Wetzler) and dancers; and can be seen improvising with Creative Music Studio’s (founders Karl Berger\, Ingrid Sertso\, Ornette Coleman) Creative Improvisors Orchestra every month in Kingston\, NY. \nSavia has also appeared in industrial shows and on film. She is a second generation classical Pilates instructor certified by Romana Kryzanowska and ran her own Dance and Pilates Studio in New Jersey for 8 years. She is happy to be dancing and teaching back in New York. \n\n  \nWRCA’s 2025 concert series has been made possible thanks to the support of: \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.

SUMMARY:André Junget: Drawings
DESCRIPTION:André Junget: Drawings \nPen and ink is my favorite medium. The idea of creating value with an ink line has always fascinated me. In my view\, nothing else compares to it. Beginning with first seeing the wood engravings of Gustave Doré\, then the British and American book illustrators of the Golden Age of Illustration\, I was hooked! \nI began my career illustrating architecture and products in pen and ink. Working at architecture firms brought me into pencil work. Which I love\, but it’s not ink! I have always claimed that if I could work in one medium for the rest of my life\, it would be pen and ink. \nSo\, I decided to stop talking about it and started a new collection of ink on scratchboard drawings of subjects that excite me! Many of the pieces in this exhibition are from this new collection. \n– André Junget \n  \nAbout the artist: \nAndré Junget: Fine Art drawings\, hand-pulled stone lithographs\, and scratch board works. \nAndré Junget maintains a residence and studio in Beacon\, NY. His work has been featured in numerous books\, magazines\, and other publications and is included in the collections of many interior design and architectural firms. His work offers a rare glimpse into the captivating world of hand-drawn illustration – what he refers to as “the way it used to be.” \nA classic illustrator\, he is a traditionalist with a “twist\,” his work is modern but gives a nod to the past\, reminiscent of great masters including Franklin Booth\, Herbert Railton\, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue\, William Heath Robinson\, Robert Henri\, and the Ashcan School. \nSelf-taught\, André began his career as a tool and die maker in the Space and Aircraft industry. He later went on to teach perspective at the Institute for the Study of Classical Architecture and has served as illustrator-in-residence at prestigious architectural firms\, including Ferguson and Shamamian\, Hart Howerton\, Roman and Williams\, and GRADE\, NY. \nHis work has been honored with Awards of Excellence from the American Society of Architectural Illustrators\, and was elected to the Society of Illustrators through the support and sponsorship of world-renowned illustrator and educator Murray Tinkelman. In 2017\, Andre was elected into the International Society of Scratchboard Artists and the Pastel Society of America in 2019. \nAndre has begun building a portfolio of fine art prints with Jim Reed\, Master Printmaker at the prestigious Milestone Graphics Studio in Bridgeport\, CT\, creating hand-pulled stone lithograph prints. He continues his work in printmaking with Irene Michnicki at the new Milestone Graphics Studio in New Haven. His hand-pulled stone lithograph print “Fire Escape 1” resides in the permanent collection of the Slater Memorial Museum and Print Club of Albany. \n\nAndré Junget: Drawings | on view July 11 – August 31\, 2025\nGallery hours: Friday – Sunday\, 1 – 5 pm and by appointment \nReception and Meet the Artist | Saturday\, July 12 from 5 – 7 pm\nLight refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Theresa Gooby: Uncanny Garden
DESCRIPTION:Theresa Gooby: Uncanny Garden explores themes of growth\, transformation\, mystery\, identity and absurdity. In this series of works on paper\, nature and the human connection to the natural world are forefront. These figures in this show challenge the dominant narrative of identity\, allowing elements of the natural world to embody representations of the self. Long held beliefs of traditional propriety are directly at odds with the unstoppable creep of nature. At the same time\, nature is being propelled by the invisible hand of civilization. The characters in Uncanny Garden wink at the viewer\, but Absurdity should not be mistaken for folly. We are living in a time that asks us to accept highly preposterous situations as the norm and we will all have to figure out a way to exist between the two. \n\nTheresa Gooby holds a BFA from the Univ. of New Mexico and an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She is the recipient of a 2024 Individual Artist Commission from the NY Statewide Community Regrant Program. In 2020 she received a Dutchess County Executive Award for Artivist of the Year. Among the places her work has been shown are the Samuel L. Dorsky Museum of Art in New Paltz NY\, the Woskob Family Gallery State College PA\, the Puffin Foundation of Teaneck NJ\, and Metro Pictures in NYC. She is the founder and former Director of Beacon Open Studios. Theresa grew up in California and lives in Beacon NY with her family. \n  \nTheresa Gooby: Uncanny Garden | on view July 11 – August 31\, 2025\nGallery hours: Friday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm and by appointment \nReception and Meet the Artist | Saturday\, July 12 from 5 – 7 pm\nLight refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Chris Gonyea: Trees\, Abstract in Nature
DESCRIPTION:I am an artist who is most commonly known for my paintings of trees. I have developed this style over the years through observation and a conscious effort to find the abstract in nature. The landscape has been a source of inspiration\, but I often attempt to reveal a deeper dynamic. Trees have emerged as the motif in which I can explore this possibility. \nThe tree\, itself\, is a living entity\, but in a way\, can be seen as a figure. A tree can become the vertical element in the horizontal landscape as in the formal figure/ground relationship. Within this context\, groupings\, dynamics and subtext occur to me as the images emerge. I try to remain fluid as the paintings develop. The rigid trunks and branches can act as a structure to improvise with and distort. I attempt to create vibrations and rhythm within my forests that may resonate with the viewer in a unique way. Another important consideration for me is the element of negative space. The limbs of trees can create connections described through the graphic line. The spaces that surround these are as significant as the forms themselves. Forms and patterns become apparent as one looks deeper into these landscapes. \nI often equate these branches to our own nervous system. I see the forest as a network that bridges the synapse and transfers energy to create a greater whole. The tree\, a figure in the landscape\, is at the same time\, the landscape itself. It is connected as much to the air as it is the earth. I wish to create an image the viewer can enter and with contemplation discover a greater consciousness. Perhaps we cannot just look at the landscape but see it more deeply and derive a deeper connection to the environment around us. \n– Chris Gonyea \n  \nChris Gonyea: Trees\, Abstract in Nature | On view May 2 – June 29\, 2025 \nGallery hours:  Friday – Sunday\, 12-5 pm\n \nReception & Meet the Artist | Saturday\, May 10\, 5 – 7 pm \n  \n  \nImage: Chris Gonyea\, ‘Solstice Sunrise’\, oil  on canvas\, 36 x 48 in.

SUMMARY:Marlene Lipinski: Look to the Woods
DESCRIPTION:I am a nature painter\, but contrary to the tradition I am not  interested in portraying nature from a distance in grand  panoramas and glorious vistas. My interest is in the intimate  connections we have with nature\, the ones we feel when we get  up close. The painting\, The Burr Oak: Spring\, as many of my  pieces\, comes from a series I think of as portraits: trees depicted as  family members or characters to know. I carefully select each  subject for the cultural\, historic or botanical significance. Through  close-up representation\, I invite the viewer to look for a long time  at an individual – a single tree – contemplate the magnificence of  its form\, the beauty of its shapes\, textures\, colors and patterns\,  and psychologically crawl into the work\, feeling the closeness and  intimacy of its habitat\, and the power of what it has given us and what we have taken away. \n– Marlene Lipinski \n  \nLook to the Woods\, Works by Marlene Lipinski  | On view May 2 – June 29\, 2025 \nGallery hours:  Friday – Sunday\, 12-5 pm\n \nReception & Meet the Artist | Saturday\, May 10\, 5 – 7 pm \n  \n

SUMMARY:Forest | Group Exhibit\, Juried by Marlene Lipinski
DESCRIPTION:Juror Marlene Lipinski’s thoughts: \n“I was impressed by the works and could have selected many more for this show. A wide variety of media was in the art work and I tried to reflect that in my choices. The forest experience can be wide and varied. I enjoyed that many aspects of the forest were included in the work. Examples of water in many stages\, light\, tree species\, density verses open areas. One can be in the woods or observe it from afar. Both of these perspectives were present. Strong skills were displayed in the art including composition\, development of form\, rending when applicable\, use of color and light and aerial perspective.” \n  \nExhibiting artists: \nSusan E Baldwin \nNell Shaw Cohen \nJama Hansonbrook \nCynthia Harris-Pagano \nDebra Howard \nJudy Howard \nRenelle Lorray \nLaura Martinez-Bianco \nPam Mather-Cathy \nJoanne Penaluna \nPolly Perkins \nChristine Perrone \nNancy Reed Jones \nMark Rosengarten \nRoberta Rosenthal \nCindy Sumerano \nJoseph Sundwall \nEmily A.
