Meet Kate Seredy - Author, Illustrator, Montgomery Farmer The Wallkill Valley, Orange County, and the Town of Montgomery have long been home to prominent artists, historians and writers.

The genres employed are as wide and strong as the Hudson and as difficult to pin down and capture as the meandering Wallkill. The art of Children’s Literature is a genre that contains divisions and subdivisions limited only by the writer’s imagination. Most often children’s literature is thought of as books written specifically for children. For this purpose, the Village and Town of Montgomery served as the perfect catalyst for Kate Seredy, an award-winning children’s novelist, renowned artist/illustrator and try-real-hard farmer.

Kate Seredy was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1896 and graduated from the Academy of Arts in Budapest with a teaching degree in Art Education. As a young adult in war ravaged Europe, Kate believed it her patriotic duty to serve as an army nurse. Following the war, Kate Seredy emigrated from her home in Europe to America, passing, as many before, through the guardian gates of Ellis Island to

Montgomery. Once the cacophony that settled in on her farm was the streets of on Kaisertown Road, New York City. It was Montgomery, Kate determination coupled wrote and published with intestinal fortitude what is perhaps her and the blessing of most famous novel, a quick mind, that The White Stag, a spurred Kate to create story that follows and sell pencil-drawn the warrior bands of illustrations used for Huns and Magyars book jacket designs across Asia and and greeting cards as a into Europe. It’s a means of survival. mythical version Without formal of the life of Attila instruction, Kate Self portrait by Kate Seredy the Hun. It won the became fluent in English. Her book jacket illustrations were John Newbery Medal for excellence in sold to Doubleday and it was there that a American children’s literature in 1938. The friend, a children’s book editor, suggested she Newbery Medal is a literary award given combine her visual talents with a narrative for by the Association for Library Service to Children, and is given to the author of the children about her native land, Hungary.

Under these circumstances her first novel most distinguished contribution to American was conceived and born. The Good Master, literature for children. Competition for the an autobiographical novel, quickly became a 1938 award was uncompromising; it included success, winning the Newbury Honor of 1936 submissions from Laura Ingalls Wilder, of and fortunately providing the impetus for Kate Little House fame. The award has been given Seredy’s move to Orange County, Town of since 1922. In total, Kate wrote twelve novels,

including The Singing Tree, a sequel to her first novel The Good Master. It is interesting to note that the sequel also was awarded a Newbury Honor.

Kate Seredy continued to write novels for children and work her farm with her partner George Jeager. But it was during a trip to Walden that the couple crashed their vehicle on the treacherous, twisted River Road. Kate suffered minor injuries, but George was killed. This writer suspects emotional turmoil prohibited Kate from working the farm she ardently loved, especially absent the man she so passionately enjoyed. In these cases, reality takes the helm and it was necessary for Kate to relocate to the village of Montgomery.

She established a residence on Weaver Street where she wrote her last four novels. The last, Lazy Tinka, was published in 1962.

In March of 1975, while a patient in Horton Memorial Hospital in Middletown, Kate Seredy died. She left behind a town and a village and a population of literate children that will for eternity savor the sweetness of her creativity.

Paint-Out Overlooking the Hudson takes place on July 30, from 2:30pm-6:30pm on the campus plaza green roof,” invites CulturalAffairs Coordinator, Dorothy Szefc. “There you will see wonderful Orange County artists, Janet Howard-Fatta, Shawn Dell Joyce, Mary Mugele Sealfon, Linda Barboni, Mitchell Saler and several others painting. They will be glad to discuss their styles, methods, and materials with you as they paint and demonstrate their talents.”

The event is free and open to the public.

SUNY Orange: August 27 As a working photographer and publishing poet, Margaret McCarthy (see photo) has long been intrigued by the possibilities of combining two passions: photography and poetry. The interplay between image and text creates a third thing - something more than the sum of its parts. What emerges from the synergy between the two? A Vision and A Verse.

A Vision and A Verse will be on display in the Mindy Ross Gallery, Kaplan Hall August 19-October 6. The Newburgh Last Saturdays August 27, 4:00pm-7:00pm reception will

give McCarthy the opportunity to meet viewers as well as have a booksigning. She will give a reading beginning at 6:15pm in the gallery.

The glass vitrine cases in Kaplan Hall offer artists horizontal and vertical all-sides-visible spaces. So, when acclaimed artist Cristina Biaggi came to visit to plan for her exhibit, she was inspired to create an installation centered on the divine feminine, a favorite subject of hers about which she has devoted a great deal of research throughout her life.

The exhibit, which runs August 23-October 14 continues the Artists of Excellence series.

During the reception Biaggi will give a talk about the installation and her art at 5:00pm.

Kaplan Hall is located at the corner of Grand & First Streets where free, secure parking is available at the entrance to the garage, 73 First Street. For information call 845-341-4891.

Space Create: August 27 Linda Rahl Nádas and Gita Nádas, mother and daughter, are both artists who grew up uniquely immersed in art. Linda was involved in art from a young age spending much of her time in the commercial artist studios her father represented in Manhattan in the 1940s and 1950s, learning much about technique and art history, as in the classical pedagogy of timepassed.

Gita was naturally a part of the rich artistic influence Linda had cultivated along with Gita’s father Arthur, an immigrant from

Hungary, who also was deeply involved and passionate about the arts.

Both Linda and Gita have studied with some of the most talented artists of the 20th century. Their stylized works speak to history and technique and scream loudly of their individuality and skill. There is a certain mysterious and whimsical elegance to their relationship with one another and to their shared histories that is very much alive in their works.

Gita and Linda come together for an exhibit titled, Oil and Fire at Space Create, 115 Broadway in Newburgh from August 13September 9.

Curated by Heather Renee Russ and David Ludwig, the show will feature paintings by Gita and sculpture and ceramic works by Linda. Meet the artists at the opening reception on August 27, from 6:00pm-9:00pm.

Honoring JS Bach & Two Great Fredericks

Gregory Hayes K. Bennion-Feeney Keats Dieffenbach

Pacem in Terris’ August concert (one of two) is in honor of two Fredericks: Frederick Franck, co-founder of Pacem and Frederick the Great who employed the musicians CPE Bach and JG Janitsch, who was Frederick the Great’s bassist as well as staff composer.

Gregory Hayes will be featured on the harpsichord for a Janitsch concerto, accompanied by Krista Bennion Feeney and Keats Dieffenbach (violins), Jessica Troy (viola) and John Feeney, (bass).

Krista Feeney says JS Bach’s Trio Sonata lll in d minor, adapted from his Organ Sonata BWV 527, “is particularly well suited to play as a string trio. When an audience sees and hears the fluency and dexterity required to execute just one of the three parts on our string instruments, it should help in understanding the majesty and power that belong to the organ above any other instrument.”

The right hand of the organist is played by the violin, the left hand by the viola, and the pedal part is played by the bass. John Feeney states, “for the organ, the bass line was played entirely with the feet while the upper two

voices were played by the hands. The pedal part is better realized by a bass than cello and the piece lends itself beautifully to the trio setting with violin and viola.

“All other works on the program have continuo parts that would have included a cello - but the keyboard plays this line in the cello octave so it is only the bass that is really needed to fill out the score.”

The program also includes CPE Bach’s Symphony No. 3 in C Major H659, and JS Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major BWV 1068. According to many scholars, Bach’s 3rd Orchestral suite was originally written and played just for strings and continuo, and later on Bach added oboe, trumpet and timpani parts, so it often gets performed just with the strings and is considered complete in that form.

The concert is on August 14 in the old stone mill at Pacem in Terris, 96 Covered Bridge Road, Warwick at 5:00pm. Bring a pillow.

Arrive early and visit the Frederick Franck museum and the meditation/sculpture garden.

In 2011 Sara J. Winston began making anecdotal photographs of her daily life, focusing on interior spaces and inanimate objects. She created strict parameters for herself while deciphering what she was after with the project; the rules were one roll of film everyday, 36 frames, for nine months. The pursuit resulted in Worn Out Joy. Candid still-life arrangements continue to appeal to Winston but her vocabulary and interest have expanded. In the wake of an automobile accident in 2014, Winston was diagnosed with a relapsing-remitting form of autoimmune illness.

Shandelee Music Festival: Superb Young Artists & World Class Chamber Ensembles

by Derek Leet

Two of the many outstanding contributions brought to Sullivan County by the Shandelee Music Festival are the plentiful offerings of superb young artists and visiting world class chamber ensembles that come to Livingston Manor to perform in August.

This year, two pianists, Hanchien Lee (who gave her debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age sixteen) and Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner, will perform - Lee in a solo concert and Sanchez-Werner as a member of a chamber ensemble.

Hanchien Lee will perform Beethoven and Scriabin sonatas, Beethoven and Schumann fantasies and Chia-Yu Hsu’s Rhapsody Toccata. Hsu is an active composer of contemporary concert music.

The combination of Chinese elements and western techniques is a hallmark of her music.

Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner, whose magnificent Shandelee debut in August 2015 enthralled the audience, will join with the returning world class Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players for an evening of Haydn, Brahms and Walter Rabl’s Quartet for clarinet, violin, cello & piano, Op. 1, a delicately exquisite, yet powerful, and melodic work reminiscent, to my ears, of no one.

Rabl (1873-1940) Chia-Yu Hsu was a Viennese composer composer, conductor, and teacher of vocal music. Largely forgotten today, Rabl left only a small number of works, all of them early ones, from the twilight of the Romantic era. At the age of 30 he stopped composing entirely and devoted himself to conducting and vocal coaching the rest of his life.

Rabl’s quartet won first prize in 1896 in a prestigious competition for young composers sponsored by the Vienna Tonkünstlerverein (Musicians’ Society) of which Johannes Brahms was honorary president and a judge of the competition. Brahms recommended the piece to his own publisher, Simrock.

The quartet appears to be the first work ever written for that combination, which was later more famously used by Messiaen in his Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the end of time), composed in 1941.

Sanchez-Werner has an incredible bio with a host of remarkable youthful achievements.

His “magic fingers, wondrous expressiveness and talent worthy of worship” (Barry Plaxen, Catskill Chronicle) will complement the Jupiter ensemble, which acknowledges and perpetuates the legacy of conductor Jens Nygaard.

work, the String Quartet in E minor. The work was premiered two days after the opening of Aida during an informal recital at his hotel on April 1, 1873.

Verdi commented on the work, saying “I’ve written a Quartet in my leisure moments in Naples. I had it performed one evening in my house, without attaching the least importance to it and without inviting anyone in particular. Only the seven or eight persons who usually come to visit me were present. I don’t know whether the Quartet is beautiful or ugly, but I do know that it’s a Quartet!”

Interspersed among the instrumental chamber music is An Evening of Choral Artistry featuring the Antioch Chamber Ensemble performing choral works of six composers, including Walter Rabl the featured work by composer prolific opera composer Jonathan Dove. Dove’s innate understanding of the individual voice is exemplified in his large and varied choral and song output, The Passing of the Year.

Heard last at Shandelee in 2012, the ensemble, widely regarded as one of the finest professional choral ensembles in the United States, is currently celebrating its 17th season of exceptional music-making.

Under the leadership of founding Artistic Director Joshua Copeland, the ensemble strives to present as diverse a program as possible of the world’s greatest choral literature, both sacred and secular, and has performed works ranging from Renaissance polyphony to contemporary masterpieces with a core group of ten to twelve of the New York metropolitan area’s finest singers.

The Canite Quartet and The Aletheia Trio truly exemplify Shandelee’s mission, as they both can be described as a combination of “young artists” and a “world class ensemble”.

On respective evenings, they will perform the music of Barber (YES! his Quartet with the beloved Adagio), Shostakovich, Mendelssohn, Haydn, Faure and the rarely

performed String Quartet in E minor by Verdi.

Verdi’s production of Aida in early March, 1873 was delayed due to the sudden illness of soprano Teresa Stolz. He focused his time in Naples on the writing of his first chamber

Ellenville Chamber Players

Frederic Sharaf is a composer of contemporary classical chamber music, art song, and love ballads.

His Quartet # 4 Mattinata Memories (2015), a melodic stream of consciousness amalgam of different writing Frederic Sharaf styles, will be performed by the Ellenville Chamber Players who will also be performing tuneful and thought-provoking string quartets by Haydn and Shostakovich.

Shostakovich wrote his Quartet # 6 during the summer of 1956, a relatively happy time in his life. He was on his honeymoon with his second wife and he was experiencing an easing of official persecution since the death of Stalin in 1953. The quartet is in the amiable key of G major, with recurring thematic material linking all of its four movements.

Haydn’s Quartet Op 74, #3, The Rider, will round out the program. Written in 1793 after Haydn had returned to Vienna from a triumphant trip to London, this classic of the quartet repertoire has rollicking themes and exciting part-writing for all four instruments.

Four-Day, Three-County Creative Loop Course: CreativesMX

by Liridona Duraku

CreativesMX is an innovative company constructing an easier path for young and emerging artists to introduce themselves into the art world. Artists of all sorts are encouraged to join this creative operation to be coached into becoming a successful artist, by participating in a marathon to compete in artistic ventures. In the end there will be prizes and winners - it will be testing their wit and artistic intelligence.

On August 4-7, artists, creators, makers, designers, producers, developers and innovators will compete in the first ever CreativesMX Marathon, a 4-day, 3-county loop course that covers the unique and varied terrain in Orange, Ulster and Dutchess counties. Using the backdrop of the bucolic Hudson River Valley, creatives will compete on an exhaustive course of workshops, rehearsals, exhibitions, performances, and pop-ups to reach the finish line podium and accolades from industry professionals and their fellow participants as well as prizes and opportunities.

Founder of CreativesMX, lawyer Tiombe “Tallie” Carter was always a big supporter of the arts. She would get emerging artists asking her many questions on how to go about their art careers. This gave her the motivation and inspiration for CreativesMX. She believes there are a few major factors that all artists need to focus on and that is to: explore, master, promote and present.

With these four words came the inspiration for the 4-day marathon. Each day will focus on one of these words. The artists who have signed up to participate are not told any of the challenges or what to expect. Many even ask the question, will I have to run? not sure if this marathon will have them racing for the finish line. This will have them creating to the finish line instead!

“This marathon will have the contestants go from hobbyist to artist. The marathon will strengthen them in the core components of the company, it will give them work to stimulate them creatively, help them master their craft, keep them in an arts environment, learn to promote themselves, highlight their strong points and show them how to present what they do to the public. Overall it will help the creative people of the Hudson Valley,” explained Carter.

“This marathon is a way to help the young artists of the Hudson Valley grow and flourish into the utmost potential. It will test them creatively as well as introduce them to the right people in the arts community and their peers.

“The Marathon has nine separate artistic categories - for performing, visual, media, culinary, healing, design and literary artists as well as categories for craft makers and tech & gaming enthusiasts - in three different age groups covering teens through adults. Up to 200 marathoners will compete for cash, prizes and the honor of being Best in Class.

Artist James Antonie was born in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. “My work as an artist involves the investigation and issues of scale in art and science. I am interested in what constitutes and composes the big, the small and the relativity of size. I compare value and belief systems, priorities, greatness and insignificance, by researching the human archetypes and universals,” explains Antonie.

James was co-founder of the Inter-Media

Department at Arizona State University, the first multidisciplinary art program in the U.S. The Alternative Worlds of James Antonie, an exhibit of work by Antonie, takes place at Amity Gallery, 110 Newport Bridge Road in Warwick, weekends throughout August.

Sugar Loaf Fairytale

“Seligmann in Early Spring” by Janet Howard Fatta

One example of an event taking place during the marathon is Plein-air Landscape Painting with Janet Howard-Fatta at Sugar Loaf’s Seligmann Center for the Arts, and she will also be painting a live subject at the Paramount Theatre in Middletown. The Sugar Loaf event will be an “emphasis on color theory and light, focusing on the Impressionist masters’practices, as well as plein-air contemporary artists, with discussion about representationalism, ways of seeing, and applications of paint.”

Creatives may register online. Over the course of this unique creative marathon, each marathoner will submit their body of work to professionals who will critically review portfolios, sizzle reels, demo/mixtapes, sample books, and prototypes.

With over 30 workshops, jam sessions, master classes, and networking events situated at over 20 venues, the Marathon serves to inspire and encourage new and emerging artists. Visit www.creativesmx.com for more!

Attention Earthlings: Meteor Shower!

The Perseid meteor shower bursts into light this August as Earth passes through the long trail left by Comet Swift-Tuttle - and this year, it’s slated to put on a spectacular show.

Here’s how and when to see the Perseids: According to NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke, the Perseids are perhaps the most popular meteor shower of the year. They will be in “outburst” in 2016, which means they’ll appear at double the usual rates. “This year, instead of seeing about 80 Perseids per hour, the rate could top 150 and even approach 200 meteors per hour,” Cooke said. It’s the first such outburst since 2009.”

Earth will pass through the comet path from July 17 to August 24, with the shower’s peak - when Earth passes through the densest, dustiest area - on August 12. That means

you’ll see the most meteors in the shortest amount of time near that peak, but you can still catch some action from the famed meteor shower before or after that point.

Learn about the history and science behind the Perseids meteor shower at the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum’s (HHNM) Outdoor Discovery Center when they present Perseids & Popsicles on August 13 at 7:30pm. Bring a blanket and they will provide the popsicles while you watch the show!

HHNM’s Outdoor Discovery Center is located on Muser Drive, across from 174 Angola Road, Cornwall. Prepaid registration required. Walk-ins welcome if space allows.

For information and to register, visit hhnm. org or call 845-534-5506, ext. 204.

Blue Moon Over Highland Lake

The spirit of Elvis reincarnates through enduring Japanese tradition in Blue Moon Over Memphis, featuring performersJohnOglevee, Naoko Maeshiba, Lluis Valls and Jubilith Moore, with text by Deborah Brevoort, and music by Richard Emmert.

American playwright Deborah Brevoort wrote the original in 1993 following a traditional noh structure, though meant to be performed

by Western actors largely in a naturalistic style.

Richard Emmert began working with Brevoort to adapt the play for a full noh presentational style by Theatre Nohgaku. The adapted text was completed in 2010 and Emmert has since completed much of the composition.

Noh is the pathway that leads the players from Elvis, the brand, to a meditation on the

relationship between celebrity and humanity.

The performance is crafted with Japanese Noh theatre masks and costumeshand-craftedby Japanese master artisans, and with traditional instrumentation, song

and dance.

Space and time expand and collapse to allow performers and audience to be in the presence of Elvis - not as a costumed impersonation, but as an eloquent, complicated, beautiful soul.

Theatre Nohgaku in collaboration with NACL present Blue Moon Over Memphis on August 6 at 7:30pm at NACL Theatre, 110 Highland Lake Road, in Highland Lake.

Wurtsboro Art Alliance: “Portraits: Human and Others”

Portraiture is one of the oldest and most traditional forms of art which has exploded in popularity in recent years. Think of how many “Selfies” exist today on our electronic devices and in the cloud, these being the great democratic equalizer of the portrait as artistic self- expression.

In addition to the Wurtsboro Art Alliance’s (WAA) regular cast of local artists interpreting their theme of the month, Portraits - Human and Others, the WAA are proud to announce that two of their artist members, Steve Duffy and Gary Schroder, will be conducting a feature show simultaneously in the WAA upstairs gallery.

Steve Duffy graduated from Pratt Institute with a degree in industrial design and pursued a career in museum and retail exhibits and has always maintained an interest in fine arts. Steve’s portrait, Sarah (see photo) is the WAA’s flyer feature of the month, and Sarah herself may come to the opening reception for the show, on August 6, from 4:00pm-6:00pm.

Free refreshments will be served.

As a boy, oil painter Gary Schroder’s father gave him this advice: “Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Those words led him to study at the School of Visual Arts as an animation major. Drawing the same thing over and over was not something he loved, so he quit school and started doing window displays for shops on Long Island.

Ten years ago he made the permanent move

“Sarah” by Steve Duffy

to an 1840’s grist mill in Ellenville which he is still in the process of rehabilitating as a home / studio. “It keeps me occupied while I figure out what I want to be when I grow up!” says Gary.

Gary is the owner of Visual Exhibitionism, based in Ellenville.

Portraits: Human and Others runs from August 6-September 4.

The WAA is also conducting a quarterly show on the walls of Mamakating Town Hall, of Wurtsboro, 2948 Route 209.

Classes in August - Watercolors Many of WAA’s artist-members offer periodic classes in the gallery to share their knowledge with their students. Classes that will

be offered in the month of August includeExploring Nature Painting in Watercolor, led by instructor and WAA founding artist-member, Roberta Rosenthal.

Roberta has given classes at the New York Botanical Garden, Catskill Art Society, Mt. Work by Gary Schroder Saint Mary College, Wallkill River School, and Glen Arden residences.

The classes will be held August 5, 12, 19 & 26 from 10:00am-12:30pm.

For information: rozenart@aol.com The WAA is a cooperatively run organization consisting of artist-members, and volunteers who seek the advancement of the arts in the region. The WAA encourages participation from artists of all ages and experience from the beginner to the professional.

In addition to traditional oil, acrylic, watercolors and photography, the WAA also features sculpture, ceramics, jewelry and will seek other forms of artistic expression to display in the future!

Meet Our Advertisers - Love at First Sight & Love at First Bite!

by Sharon McKane Been quite a while since I visited Liberty; I was pleasantly surprised at the new and improved approach into town. Once cold, now charming and inviting, with old fashioned street lamps and pretty hanging flower baskets along Main Street, Liberty is a delight.

I turned right onto John Street; Sweet Basil Thai Restaurant was at the end of the street on my left, with free city parking on the right; couldn’t be more convenient. There are two entry doors, of course I walked through the wrong one, but was happy I did. A beautiful handmade penny-topped bar caught my eye.

I continued into the dining room which is a Thailand work in progress.

I was greeted by a voice just above a whisper.

Chef Goy welcomed me and introduced herself, as did I. Chef Goy is the sweet owner and talented Chef at Sweet Basil Thai Restaurant. First question I asked, “Where is your rest room?” It was sparkling clean.

When I first walked into the restaurant I had interrupted Goy’s lunch break, she was eating Tom Yum - mushroom, tomato, onion, lemongrass, kaiffir, and lime juice topped with scallions and cilantro. She said, “It’s nice for people dieting.” It looked wonderful and soon the aromas from that dish were pinging around my olfactory sensors. I hungered for a taste which is unusual when I hear the word ‘diet’.

Delaware & Hudson CANVAS

Chef Goy asked if I would like to see her kitchen. It was spotless. She walked me into the refrigerator and showed me the fresh prep for the day.

I was impressed with her organization and cleanliness.

Only item on the menu that’s frozen...kid’s chicken fingers, for kids that love them and won’t eat anything else.

Chef Goy is from Thailand, petite and sweet as can be. Her accent is most endearing and pleasant. She met her American husband, Ed Williams, in Thailand; both were vacationing on PP Island. He was amazed when she prepared a scrumptious seafood dinner for thirteen people. Ed said, “It was love at first sight, and then love at first bite!”

While Ed worked in film in New York City, he pursued Goy. For two years he pestered her until she finally agreed to come to America.

She was scared when she first arrived here.

Goy overcame her fears, learned English, got a job at David’s Bagel on 1st Avenue and went to school to learn food protection and safety, and became certified.

I asked the Chef what her number one selling dish is, “Pad Thai noodles and curry, cooked to order: spicy, not spicy, and extra spicy; whatever their preference. Also any

August 2016

dish can be vegan. I will cook special for people with food allergies...I cook special for everyone.”

Goy showed me her complimentary Thai spice center toppings. She also offers a selection of ten different beers, two of which are Thai beers. Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee are available along with the usual soft drinks.

I watched the ease at which Chef Goy prepared my Pad Priaw Whan (*special, not spicy order). Her portions, quite generous - and oh the fabulous flavors that tantalized my palate made the ride from Orange County well worthwhile. Next time I’m trying the off menu dish, “Drunken Noodles.”

I asked what her repeat diners usually order.

“They have tried just about everything and LOVE it!”

I didn’t have time to try Sweet Basil’s Thai Coconut Ice Cream, or Sticky Rice and Mangos for dessert, (see photo) but rest assured I will, and everything else on the menu!

“When a group makes reservations, I provide chips and sweet dip as a thank you,” mentioned Chef Goy. Sweet Basil Thai Restaurant is located at 19 John Street in Liberty. For more information, call 845-747-9823 or see their ad on page 10.

“Faces of India”

Amassed from many trips to India, photographer Doug Hilson presents a vibrant multi-colored portrait exhibit of children and the elderly.

India, as the fastest developing country in “Faces of India” the world and arguably by Doug Hilson the most colorful, has fascinated the artist and informed his painting for the past decade.

The color of India in general and Rajasthan in particular is a visual feast. In this country of one billion, where 85% of the people live in small villages with a rapidly growing middle class, Hilson likens their migration from small villages into modern cities to a similar shift in early 20th century America.

Hilson’s objective in this body of work is to record the elderly and their tradition, dress, and culture before it is lost to the past. In the children, he sees the faces of the future.

The Catskill Art Society (CAS) presents Faces of India, an exhibit of photographs by Hilson, at the Laundry King, an alternative exhibit space of the CAS, 65 Main Street, Livingston Manor, from August 6-27.

Meet the artist at the opening reception on August 6, from 4:00pm-7:00pm where he will discuss his work. All are welcome and light refreshments will be served.

For information: 845-436-4227.

August at The Wallkill River School of Art, Montgomery

A represented artist of the Wallkill River School, (WRS) Lisa O’Gorman grew up in Yonkers and moved to the Hudson Valley in 1990. Lisa has a strong connection to nature; she often finds herself painting landscapes and wildlife.

“I paint what I believe in, what moves me spiritually. I don’t always know why I stop at a particular scene, it’s a feeling I respond to, not intellect,” said Lisa. An avid hiker, she has created countless plein air paintings of the Shawangunk ridge and other local scenes.

Lisa has a successful pet portrait business as well, donating portraits to foundations such as the Rock Hill ASPCA, Rescue for Life-Labrador Retriever Rescue, and Art for Shelter Animals Project.

WRS founder Shawn Dell Joyce’s artworks and writings have been widely publicized in many national newspapers and magazines like the New York Times and Mothering Magazine.

She has won many prestigious awards for her work such as “Woman of the Year” in 2009 from Girl Scouts and YWCA of Orange County.

She recently won Orange Environment’s “Sustainable Art” award. Shawn’s works are included in major museum collections. “[With] fifteen years of weekly plein air painting classes, I’ve built a body of work of

iconographic views of the Hudson Valley. The Shawangunk Ridge is a perennial favorite of mine and I have painted the ridge in all seasons and in hundreds of views. Most of these paintings are from local farms, historic sites, and open spaces in Orange County, done on location with the WRS. Many of these paintings were done as demonstrations for classes which means they took less than two hours to paint. Plein air painters must paint quickly to capture the light which shifts every two hours,” said Shawn.

Middletown native and WRS emerging artist David Benedict earned a certificate in Commercial Art through Orange/Ulster

BOCES. He has always expressed himself artistically from a very early age. When he was 12 years old, he surprised his mother with a huge wall mural that he flawlessly painted onto his bedroom wall.

David has “always known his real passion was to be a famous artist and fashion designer.”

A self-taught acrylic painter, he is best known for his abstract (surrealism-impressionism) and fine art. He also hand paints custom, original artwork onto any item of clothing, made to order.

Meet the artists at the opening reception: August 6, from 5:00pm-7:00pm at the WRS, 232 Ward Street, Montgomery. The show is on view through the month of August.

Also, enjoy viewing the WRS hallway art with a floral theme, and children’s artworks in the Upstairs Gallery. Call 845-457-ARTS.

Bush Brothers music is true Americana. A combination of traditional country, bluegrass and gospel music fused with contemporary acoustic sounds and delivered with vocals and instrumental solos.

Whether it’s the high speed of traditional bluegrass or the blending of their harmonies on ballads and original songs, their music is fun, energy packed, and very uplifting.

You’re in for a fun night on August 19 at 7:00pm at the Desmond Campus, 6 Albany Post Road, Newburgh. Bring chairs or blankets for seating. Bring a picnic, too - grounds will open at 5:00pm! Tickets at the door.

Patterns at the Ann Street Gallery

Throughout history, patterns have played a key role in creating and art. We find examples of pattern designs being used in the earliest pottery and textiles; the architectural ornamentation of Islamic architecture; Medieval illuminated texts, and in the works of the great nineteen century decorative painter - Gustav Klimt.

In the mid-1970’s, we saw the development of the Pattern and Decoration movement, which provided artists like Joyce Kozloff and Judith Pfaff, creative alternatives to the austere aesthetic of Minimalism and Conceptualism.

In today’s contemporary art, artists continue to turn to pattern designs as a language for artistic expression, while blurring the line between high and low art; as exemplified in the vibrant and heavily decorative patterned works of Kehinde Wiley.

The Safe Harbors Ann Street Gallery’s newest exhibition, Language of Patterns brings together fifteen divergent artists, showcasing varied media that highlight the endless possibilities of creating visual sequences while fashioning a language that arises from these timeless forms called patterns.

The artists in this exhibition are part of this tradition. In each work, these artists are making use of pattern designs through gestural lines; colors; repeating designs, fiber and textures, and have developed their own language of

“Playing Card Mandala” by Eleanor White

patterns to express the way they think, see, and experience space.

Regardless of their approach or materials, these artists as a whole are utilizing patterns as a formal element of art, producing works of visual splendor whilst pushing the boundaries of their subject or concept.

Artists featured are: Michelle Benoit, Jaynie Gillman Crimmins, Robyn Ellenbogen, Kathy Goodell, Theresa Gooby, Sarah Hulsey, Minhee Kang, Susan Knight, Jaanika Peena, Linda Schmidt, Ashley Shellhause, Greg Slick, Jeanne Tremel, Bart Vargas and Eleanor White.

This exhibit was curated by Virginia Walsh and will be on view through August 20 at the Ann Street Gallery, 104 Ann Street, Newburgh.

“The Artist Who Never Was” at the Seligmann Center The Seligmann Center of the Orange County Citizens Foundation will host an exhibition titled, The Artist Who Never Was celebrating the works of painter Vernon Hart. Also included in the exhibition will be historic photographs and information about this little-known artist and his relationship to Kurt Seligmann, one of the foremost surrealist painters of the 20th century.

Vernon Hart was born in Warwick in 1935. From 1950 to 1953, he worked on the farm of Kurt and Arlette Seligmann in exchange for art lessons from the master surrealist. In 1953 Hart’s family relocated to Pennsylvania and the young artist’s studies ended.

Recent research at the Seligmann Center uncovered some letters that Hart had written to Seligmann in the 1950s. Further investigation revealed that Hart was living on a farm in Pennsylvania’s “Endless Mountains” region and that he had continued to paint. An exploratory trip to Pennsylvania was made and Vernon, now eighty, was found to be in relatively good health and still actively painting. He was saddened by the news of Kurt’s passing, although he had expected that Kurt would be gone by this time. Happily, Vernon agreed to have some of his works and memorabilia exhibited in Kurt’s studio in 2016.

This show, curated by Jonathan Talbot,

will be the first solo exhibition for the eightyone year old artist!

It was unlikely that Vernon would have become an artist if it had not been for Jasper Cropsey, “View Near Pine Island,” painting on panel by Vernon Hart a prominent member of the Hudson River School of occasions, to the museums in New York. As artists, who had lived in Warwick some a result of Seligmann’s generosity, Vernon forty years before his birth. A number of became an increasingly competent painter.

Hart’s paintings focus on landscape and Cropsey’s paintings could still be found in Warwick during Vernon’s early years and still-life. Included in this exhibition will be they inspired the young boy to try his hand at a number of paintings of Orange County drawing and painting. Even without training, scenes, some created while the artist still lived in this area and some painted from Vernon displayed remarkable talent.

When Vernon was fifteen, he was memory.

Identity & Anonymity: An Artful Anthology The Hart exhibit and two previous summer shows were created and curated by Talbot in tandem with Identity & Anonymity: An Artful Anthology, a profusely illustrated anthology.

Edited by Jonathan Talbot, Leslie Fandrich, and Steven M. Specht, the book is comprised of thoughtful and intelligent submissions from over 35 artists including Judy Chicago, the Guerilla Girls, and Peter Coyote. The book includes poems, essays and stories, both fiction and non-fiction. It includes history, articles, opinions and contributions which defy classification, evidence of the dramatic changes in 21st century social structures which blur the boundaries of identity and anonymity.

“An amazing collection of articles from brief (i.e. by Frank Shuback) to lengthy (Carol Ohmart-Behan), from emotionally descriptive (Madelyn Greco) to thoughtfully provoking (William Seaton) and esoteric (Andrew Marvick), from delightful fun (Anonymous About Bansky & Daniel Mack) to fascinating and brain-provoking concepts (Catharine Cabeen) about anonymity and identity, especially in these days of social media.

Home Base Jazz: The Seventh Hudson Valley Jazz Festival

by Philip Ehrensaft

Drummer Steve Rubin, like many other musicians in the world’s jazz capital, discovered that it’s possible to live in the bucolic Hudson Valley and commute to gigs in the Big Apple. So many musicians made, and continue to make this move, that the Valley has been nicknamed “New York City’s sixth jazz borough.” Rubin also discovered the disjunct between the Hudson Valley as home base for a large fraction of America’s top jazz talent versus a paucity of opportunities for Hudson Valley music fans to hear their jazz musician neighbors perform live at local venues.

This disjunct repeats across the suburban and exurban fringes of major cities, and it threatens the viability of “America’s classical music,” jazz. Both future jazz musicians and future jazz audiences have been nurtured in local venues dotting the cities of every size across the continent. Minus widespread live jazz venues across the country, it’s difficult to inspire young ears to seek mentoring by local jazz musicians and then enrollment in the nation’s network of excellent jazz departments.

Or inspire future jazz listeners to attend gigs or tune into 24/7 jazz radio stations like the Hudson Valley’s NPR affiliate, Jazzfm (http:// www.hvpr.net/) So Rubin decided to help correct this situation in his new home town, Warwick, by founding

Eric Person August 13, at 8:00pm

Steve Rubin August 13, 9:00pm

NY Swing Exchange, August 11, 7:00pm

the Hudson Valley Jazz Festival (HVJF).

Warwick is naturally attractive to commuting musicians: it’s relatively close to NYC, and its bucolic character has been preserved by black mulch agricultural soils what would cause houses created by the usual suburban sprawl to sink into the earth.

A core festival goal is catalyzing local venues into presenting live jazz not only during the festival, but year-round, and to alert both venues and local audiences to their talented jazz neighbors. Venues range from the usual local clubs and restaurants to community centers, museums, village squares, private homes, you name it.

KJ Denhert August 14, 4:00pm

Musically, the festival’s approach to deciding what jazz should be chosen for the festival ranges from ecumenical to agnostic.

Rubin’s a staunch follower of Duke Ellington’s musical aesthetics: “If it sounds good, it IS good.” Choices of what music to present are left to festival venues and sponsors. Rubin’s there to give advice, not make final decisions on who does or doesn’t appear on stage. From the fine lineups on stage, however, I’d bet that presenters lend a careful ear to Rubin’s input.

The success of Rubin’s decentralized, musically open approach can be gauged by favorable coverage of the festival by national media, including the New York Times,

A Tree Grew (and grew, and grew) in Balmville

Where once there was an old-growth eastern cottonwood growing in Balmville (Newburgh), today visitors to the unique Festival of Wood in Milford can take home a piece of that historic tree in the form of beautiful wooden spoons.

Artist Jennifer Hasan of Beacon is a newcomer to the 12-year-old festival, held on the grounds of the ancestral home of conservationist Gifford Pinchot, founder and first chief of the US Forest Service. In her Hudson River studio she shapes lovely household items from trees that have naturally reached the end of their life cycle.

This endeavor includes the historic Balmville tree, which was the oldest tree of that species in the eastern United States before it had to be felled due to its advanced age and vandalism.

The community had rallied around efforts to save it, which led to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The state took ownership of the land, making it New York’s smallest state forest. However, the tree

continued to deteriorate and it was finally cut down in 2015.

Hasan will be exhibiting and selling her work at the festival, where she will join more than 20 other wood craftsmen from throughout the Tri State region as they share their love for wood with festival-goers. Some of Hasan’s other unique pieces, such as the yarn bowl and charcuterie board, are made from Copper Beech trees, which ironically were Gifford Pinchot’s favorite tree (you can see 8 of them majestically framing the Pinchot mansion on the Grey Towers’ estate grounds.) Other craftsmen will demonstrate, exhibit and sell wood items ranging from small handmade roosters and spirit whistles to larger pieces of handcrafted indoor and outdoor furniture.

The festival, August 6, 10:00am-5:00pm and August 7, 10:00am-4:00pm also offers live demonstrations of portable sawmills, tree prunings and chain saw carvings. Educational

Downbeat, and the Jazz Times.

The 2016 festival runs from August 1114. It launches with an outdoor evening concert sponsored by the Village of Warwick, featuring the NY Swing Exchange big band.

On August 12, there’s a difficult decision to make between trumpeter Chris Persad at The Dautaj restaurant in Warwick, or a gig at Beacon’s Town Crier, by vocalist Lindsay Webster, whose song Open Up hit number one on Billboard’s Smooth Jazz chart.

Saturday’s concerts start at noon, and climax with an overflow of prime choices: master guitarist Jeff Ciampa in Pine Island; in Peekskill, saxophonist Eric Person; vocalist Gabriele Tranchina, saxophonist Bob Rosen, along with bass player Robert Kopec, keyboardist Neil Alexander and Steve Rubin holds forth in Sugar Loaf.

An unusual jazz sponsor, Sustainable Warwick, brings the eminent jazz/urban folk singer KJ Denhert to the Warwick Community Center at 4:00pm on Sunday afternoon.

Drummer Karl Latham has successful careers in jazz, both straight-ahead and far-out; funk; and Broadway. His ensemble, including topflight bassist and trumpeter Mark Egan, plus pianist Nick Rolfe, plays Sunday afternoon at the Warwick Grove Community Center.

Then 3D Rhythm of Life’s latin-tropical-soul jazz wraps up the festival at The Dautaj.

The Poetry of War

Oil and water may not mix, but war and poetry?

For one veteran of numerous combat engagements - in Vietnam, the Falklands, Afghanistan and elsewhere - his own poetry helped him emerge from the abyss of Charlie Briener post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD. That warrior’s dramatic and unsettling poems, plus the PTSD experiences of two local residents who faced the bloodshed of Vietnam, constitute Their War Never Ends, an evening of readings and discussions about PTSD, at the Old Stone House of Hasbrouck, 282 Hasbrouck Road in Woodbourne, on August 10, at 7:00pm.

The poet is Col. John Vidal, a special forces officer whose mostly covert role took him around the world for nearly 35 years.

When he emerged from his U.S. military career, says his surviving wife, Constance Slater, “he would wake up with nightmares” and “wouldn’t recognize me,” because “I was the enemy!”

Running out of other options to help, Slater handed him a notebook and pen, demanding he write about his innermost demons. The result is an extraordinary posthumous volume of John Vidal’s poems, ...and the Blood Won’t

Come Off, which Slater herself spent years editing, and has just published. She will read extended selections from the book at the August event.

Col. Vidal’s poems, through their intense simplicity, Gary Zellweger expose the agony faced by countless men and women in the wake of combat. In Choices, his advice is crystal clear: “If a war ever comes/ Don’t go/ For you/ may be/ one of the/ unlucky ones/ and/ survive.” In Experience he writes: “My body is young/ My mind is old.”

Also speaking will be Vietnam combat vets Charlie Breiner and Gary Zellweger, both delving into their own unique PTSD experiences. Breiner was part of the infantry’s famous Americal Division, quartered in the Duc Pho area in 1967-68, and including the massive Tet Offensive. Zellweger was sent to Vietnam as a draftee in 1968 for his own stretch of hard-combat duty, and returned home facing a lengthy aftermath of emotional turmoil.

Copies of Col. Vidal’s poetry book are free to attendees who themselves faced PTSD after military service. Free refreshments will be available. For info: 845-436-6309.

IDB Band in Bethel Meet: Some Kids What’s the problem with kids these days?

An’ not for nothin’, but just who are “kids” these days? Rhetorical but challenging? Sure, but it depends on where you’re seated. Near?

Far? Across the street or across the country. If you’re in Sullivan County and just happen to be a theatre goer, you might consider the members of the Forestburgh Playhouse’s resident company (ResCo) as kids.

Without an excess of consideration for semantics and linguistic dancing, kids are a younger generation and for this discussion they’re 20 something. Early to mid-20s is fair enough and on many fronts they are the butt of numerous jokes and innuendo forms of disrespect accompanied by low expectations.

It all started with the extension of adolescence, now a period of time extending from puberty to age 26; they still live at home, albeit in the basement, while mommy continues to wash and iron their clothes. And so the story goes: lazy, spoiled and the unintended by-product of a society gone astray.

But wait! For those doubting souls who question our future, reassurance is close at hand. There exists a younger generation that is full of promise, determination and a work ethic most would find extraordinary. The ResCo mentioned above is a group of 16 young men and women who demonstrate on a daily basis the characteristics many believe to have vanished.

ResCo members are prompt, articulate, bright, educated and focused. The company is composed of college students and recent graduates from major universities across the country. Generally, all are theatre majors or graduates with a degree in theatre arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) with a concentration in performance. Though not Equity, each member of the ResCo is working professionally, accumulating points with the ultimate goal of Equity membership.

Understand, there are a number of simultaneous interactive events at the Playhouse that rely on the talents and capabilities of dedicated young men and women. There’s the mainstage, where the current musical or drama is performed 8 times a week for two weeks. ResCo members frequently compose a significant portion of the cast. On that stage, each performs alongside experienced Equity performers. Combine this activity with the well-known, oft’ touted Cabaret performances in the adjoining Tavern. Cabaret performances are a pure one hundred percent on stage ResCo presentation. The pre-show performance is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays and post mainstage cabarets on Friday & Saturday nights. Cabaret performers, as an accepted practice, double and triple from the tavern stage to the floor where they efficiently perform the responsibilities and duties of wait staff and then to the mainstage. There’s also children’s theatre and house maintenance. After all, somebody’s

So for the present, Anything Goes, Dana gave a most compelling the future is secure and in the hands of some performance as she presented the character responsible, competent “kids”!

IDB is a New Jersey based quintet that combines decades of live performance experience, unique improvisational skills, and a love of the Grateful Dead. The result is a unique blend of music that’s drawing big crowds at each tri-state area show. Playing songs from each unique era of the Dead, IDB brings their own style to every song to make it their own. IDB is not a tribute band, but a group of musicians who pay tribute to the style and experience of the Grateful Dead!

Members of IDB include singers and guitarists Michael Jaskewicz and Chris Repetto, singer and bassist John Nemeth, keyboardist Steve Runyon, and Jim Russo on vocals and drums.

IDB heads to Bethel for an August 13, 1:00pm concert at the Catskill Distilling Company, 2037 State Route 17B. For information: 845-583-3141.

May I Have A Word With You ...

Quips, Quotes & Quiddities with Carol Pozefsky

TWIST TONGUE-STERS Give Peter Piper and his peppers a rest and try out these lesser known tongue twisters: (Five times quickly AND out loud!)

PRE-SHRUNK SILK SHIRTS! A STUPID SUPERSTITION! SHE’S TRULY RURAL! ED HAD EDITED IT! WHICH WRISTWATCHES ARE SWISS WRISTWATCHES! According to the Guinness World Records book, the most difficult tongue twister is: THE SIXTH SICK SHEIK’S SIXTH SHEEP’S SICK. THE TIMES GONE BY Until four months ago, the Tampa Tribune had been published continuously since 1895.

Now its doors have closed, another casualty in the rapid decline of major metropolitan dailies.

The website, Newspaper Death Watch, has been keeping track since 2007.

Gone are the Tucson Citizen, Rocky Mountain News, Baltimore Examiner, Kentucky Post, Cincinnati Post, Albuquerque Tribune, Honolulu Advertiser and more.

On the Death Watch’s endangered list are, among others, the Christian Science Monitor, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ann Arbor News and New Orleans Times-Picayune.

THE ENVELOPE PLEASE IMDB, the online film information site, lists the greatest movie musicals of all time based on the film’s awards, nominations and the opinions of experienced professionals.

Obviously, they are Golden Oldies because, with rare exceptions, (Chicago, Mamma Mia) movie musicals are not being made anymore.

From 1 to 10: Singin’ in the Rain (1952), Chicago (2002), The Phantom of the Opera (2004), Les Misérables (2012), All That Jazz (1979), West Side Story (1961), The Wizard of Oz (1939), The Sound of Music (1965), An American in Paris (1951), My Fair Lady (1964).

My musician/playwright cousin, Sidra just told me she would give Les Misérables greater prominence than The Phantom of the Opera and would place West Side Story and The Wizard of Oz higher on the list.

W hispering P in es - C o o k i n g International Beer Day! Beer is an ancient alcoholic drink brewed mainly from malted barley, hops, yeast and water although it’s possible to brew it from other grains like maize, wheat or rice. Records of beer date back to 4000 BC, making it one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in the world!

The three stated goals of International Beer Day are to: appreciate brewers and servers, enjoy the taste of all beers from around the world, and to unite the world under the banner of beer. Founded in 2007 by the Association of California Brewers, International Beer Day is an event that is observed in more than 50 countries worldwide. It is held annually on the first Friday of August (this year: August 5!).

So, what goes good with beer? Here’s one of my favorite pairings. Enjoy!

BEEF AND GUINNESS PIE (This is a hearty Irish variation on steak and kidney pie, made with the island’s most famous beer, serves 6-8).
