SUMMARY:Watercolor with Stephanie Snyder | June 2026
DESCRIPTION:Sundays\, 10 am – 12 pm \nJune 7th\, 14th\, 21st \n$120\, $100 Members \n\nNo Intro Class for this month. This session is recommended for intermediate/advanced watercolor artists or individuals who have taken the class previously. \n  \nThis beginning watercolor class will be focused on producing finished work. \nMany learn best when following along painting with an artist\, so that is the approach this class will follow. We will produce a finished painting each week with a different subject\, and returning students are welcomed.  The approach will be to paint fast and loose\, to cover the basics of watercolor by doing them\, and hopefully\, to have some fun. \n  \nStephanie Snyder began painting in watercolor in 2022 at the Wallkill River Center for the Arts under the instruction of Alan Lewis. She enjoys painting landscapes in an impressionistic style\, and paints as often as her teaching career allows. She lists her influences as Alan Lewis\, Susan Djukaric\, JMW Turner\, and Stanley Donwood. \n  \nStudents are to bring their own supplies.  Specific recommendations will be discussed in the first class\, so bring what you already have rather than purchasing anything before that class. \nPaper- cold press paper recommended (100% cotton)\nBrushes – 3 basic brushes: #10 round\, a smaller brush for detail\, a larger quill brush (size 6) or mop brush of about an inch\nPaint – Avoid chalky mediums. Tubes will be easier to work with than pans.\nPalette – A watercolor palette has many wells for your paint and space to mix colors.\nOther – Not necessary for class\, but useful at home – A hairdryer\, painters tape\, tissues\, pencils\, paper towels\, etc. \n\n\nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY

SUMMARY:Create a Tree of Life Pendant with Janet Baskerville
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 13th \n11:00 am – 1:00 pm \n$50\, $45 Members (includes materials) \n  \nThis is the class you have been waiting for! Come out\, enjoy a warm relaxed atmosphere and learn how to make your own wire wrapped ‘Tree of Life’ pendant with gemstones. No special skills required but a basic knowledge of wire wrapping would be helpful. \nAll tools and supplies provided. \n  \nTree of Life – One of many definitions: \nThe Tree of Life commonly represents the interconnectedness of everything in the universe. It symbolizes togetherness and serves as a reminder that you are never alone or isolated\, but rather that you are connected to the world. The roots of the Tree of Life dig deep and spread into the earth\, thereby accepting nourishment from Mother Earth\, and its branches reach up into the sky\, accepting energy from the sun and moon. \n  \n \nJanet Baskerville\, Artist Statement: My ethnic heritage and experiences are my greatest influences.  I enjoy working three dimensionally\, as it is an intuitive process.  Jewelry is my passion and I like the tactile nature of combining various methods of construction\, such as forging metal\, stamping and etching metal\, wire wrapping and weaving\, beading\, resin casting and the inclusion of relic-like found objects and artifacts. I enjoy mixed-media collage and use paint\, paper\, fabric\, fibers\, resin\, wood and clay in my work as well. I am fascinated with the results when a combination of these materials and methods comes together in a completed piece to evoke a one of a kind ethnic feeling that tells a story. \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY

SUMMARY:REMEMBER WHEN\, A National Exhibition Juried by Ransome
DESCRIPTION:Remember When\nA National Exhibition Juried by Ransome\nJune 27 – August 9\, 2026 \n  \nRemember When: Nostalgia is a powerful sentiment. We can experience it on a personal level\, a family level\, a cultural level\, a spiritual level. This national juried exhibit celebrates this theme; exploring our pasts as we look back at the times and experiences that shaped us as individuals and as a collective. \n  \nExhibiting artists: Jim Allen\, Jena Argenta\, Lisa Brown\, Chuck Davis\, Joe Diggs\, May Anne Erickson\, Bobbi Esmark\, Tracy Finn\, Judith Greengus\, Eileen MacAvery\, Sasha-Loriene McClain\, Eva Melas\, A.F. Oehmke\, Soli Pierce\, Amy Silberkliet\, Kim Steinard\, Darren Taylor\, Jean Tock\, Julie Waltz Stalker\, Gerald Wein\, Martin Weinstein\, Tony Wells\, Racel Williams\, Willie Williams\, Mimi Young. \n  \nArtists’ Reception: Sunday\, June 28th\, 3 – 5 pm \nJoin us to celebrate the opening of Remember When and meet the artists; light refreshments will be served. \n  \n\nMeet the JUROR: Ransome \n\nMy artwork centers on my African-American lineage\, which is traced back to sharecroppers of the American South who migrated to Northern cities along the East Coast. My pictorial narratives are personal\, yet the symbols I use are universal and interplay with larger social\, racial\, ancestral\, economic\, and political histories that inform our nation to this day. The history of my family is the history of black Americans\, which is the history of all of North America. \nIn my works\, I often combine acrylic paint with an array of found\, made\, and purchased papers. The materials I use are conceptual statements on this legacy of an often-overlooked portion of society that made something out of nothing. \nBoth my representational and abstract works incorporate a variety of symbols\, patterns\, and marks to create powerful images filled with the rhythmic properties of music that weave throughout my oeuvre. Born in a generation infused by soul and R&B music\, I grew up hearing rap music that freely sampled the music of my childhood\, mixing and recomposing these songs to create rhythms befitting to hip hop music. In my work\, my natural instinct is to paint and collage on the same surface\, applying the same spontaneity of hip hop deejays and the resourcefulness of rural quilters\, who use what is at hand\, assembling\, collaging\, and creating. \nWhile made of the energy of contemporary culture\, my work is also influenced by Abstract Expressionism and draws from the soulfulness of the quilts from the women of Gee’s Bend. For me\, there is a visual rhythm to layering these antipodes: found versus purchased objects\, figures versus abstract\, paint versus paper\, busy versus quiet. My work aims to imbue each piece with a lyrical yet authentic resilience borne of limited resources and frugality that speaks to the struggle and hope\, pain\, joy\, and soul of folks in the black community. \n–​ \nA graduate from Pratt Institute\, Ransome served as a tenured professor in the School of Visual Performing Arts at Syracuse University before retiring to pursue his dreams of being a studio artist. Nationally exhibited and collected by museums and private foundations\, Ransome received an MFA in Studio Arts from Lesley University and currently resides in the Hudson Valley. \n

All supplies provided. \n  \nJanet Baskerville\, Artist Statement: My ethnic heritage and experiences are my greatest influences.  I enjoy working three dimensionally\, as it is an intuitive process.  Jewelry is my passion and I like the tactile nature of combining various methods of construction\, such as forging metal\, stamping and etching metal\, wire wrapping and weaving\, beading\, resin casting and the inclusion of relic-like found objects and artifacts. I enjoy mixed-media collage and use paint\, paper\, fabric\, fibers\, resin\, wood and clay in my work as well. I am fascinated with the results when a combination of these materials and methods comes together in a completed piece to evoke a one of a kind ethnic feeling that tells a story. \n  \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY

SUMMARY:Watercolor with Stephanie Snyder | July 2026
DESCRIPTION:Sundays\, 10 am – 12 pm \nJuly 12\, 19\, 26 \n$120\, $100 Members \n\nNo Intro Class for this month. This session is recommended for intermediate/advanced watercolor artists or individuals who have taken the class previously. \n  \nThis watercolor class will be focused on producing finished work. \nMany learn best when following along painting with an artist\, so that is the approach this class will follow. We will produce a finished painting each week with a different subject\, and returning students are welcomed.  The approach will be to paint fast and loose\, to cover the basics of watercolor by doing them\, and hopefully\, to have some fun. \n  \nStephanie Snyder began painting in watercolor in 2022 at the Wallkill River Center for the Arts under the instruction of Alan Lewis. She enjoys painting landscapes in an impressionistic style\, and paints as often as her teaching career allows. She lists her influences as Alan Lewis\, Susan Djukaric\, JMW Turner\, and Stanley Donwood. \n  \nStudents are to bring their own supplies.  Specific recommendations will be discussed in the first class\, so bring what you already have rather than purchasing anything before that class. \nPaper- cold press paper recommended (100% cotton)\nBrushes – 3 basic brushes: #10 round\, a smaller brush for detail\, a larger quill brush (size 6) or mop brush of about an inch\nPaint – Avoid chalky mediums. Tubes will be easier to work with than pans.\nPalette – A watercolor palette has many wells for your paint and space to mix colors.\nOther – Not necessary for class\, but useful at home – A hairdryer\, painters tape\, tissues\, pencils\, paper towels\, etc. \n\n\nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY

SUMMARY:Painted Papers and Printmaking with Jodi Doster
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 11:00 am – 3:00 pm \nSaturday July 18th \nAges 16+ \n$75 | $65 for members \nThis painted paper printmaking night introduces a range of techniques and materials\, including gelli plate printing\, and various textures and mediums in the printmaking processes. Participants will work with gelli plates to produce multi-layered\, colorful\, and textured monoprints. All materials and instructions will be laid out for participants to jump in and start making color full papers and prints.  We will apply essential methods such as paint application\, utilizing textural tools\, and creating images with stencils\, stamps\, and botanicals—all achievable without a large press set and ready to go. \nThe night will explore an array of printmaking papers and tools that can be incorporated into mixed media projects\, collage\, card making\, and art notebooks. \n  \nThere is no material list – class includes all materials. \n This class is suitable for people aged 16+ since we will be using sharp cutting tools. \n  \n \n \nMy name is Jodi Doster and I spent 21 years teaching science and art at Bristol Bay Borough Middle/High School in Naknek\, Alaska. I also was an Adjunct Professor for the University of Alaska Fairbanks BBC teaching biology and many art classes including watercolor\, drawing\, and ceramics. My teaching philosophy is a hands-on approach utilizing demonstration then working alongside students to create original pieces. I find working alongside students while discussing my process and thoughts helps students if they are stuck. I provide guidance to help students with learning new techniques and developing their own style. I am influenced by science and nature in my own artwork. I love color and have been inspired by the impressionism artists. I have been so inspired by them that I even named my dog Monet after one of my favorite impressionists! \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY \n
