SUMMARY:Scratching the Surface: A Sgraffito Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Jennifer Evans Arbo for a surface design and sgraffito carving workshop. Sgraffito means to “scratch” in Italian and workshop participants will draw and carve a design onto a plate shape of their choosing. Sgraffito involves removing layers of slip or underglaze from greenware to reveal the underlying clay body.  \nJennifer will demonstrate how she seeks out design inspiration\, and how she applies 2-D design concepts to 3-D surfaces using the sgraffito method.  \nAfter a short demonstration of Jennifer’s sgraffito process\, participants will be provided with an ornament to practice and a slab plate to complete their project (made prior to the workshop by Jennifer). Participants will use underglazes and slips on their greenware ceramic piece during the session as they explore the sgraffito practice themselves.  \nOne ornament and one 10″ plate is included in the workshop. \nParticipants can choose designs provided by Jennifer or draw their own!  \nNo experience required. \nAll materials will be provided for during the workshop \nPlease bring reference images if you have an idea of what you would like to sgraffito. \nTuition: Members $77/ Non-Members $102

SUMMARY:Counterpoint: Artists from The Arts Access Program at Matheny
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Thursday\, October 5 from 5-7pm \nThe Arts Access Program \nFor more than 25 years\, the Matheny Arts Access Program has been empowering artists with disabilities to create art without limits. \nThrough the use of innovative systems and techniques\, artist can take part in the visual\, performing\, and literary arts. Regardless of their disabilities\, artists are provided with the tools and materials needed to produce complete pieces of work that are distinctly their own. \nOn a daily basis\, Arts Access fosters an environment of artistic creativity among the participating artists. The program improves the quality of life for the artists and those around them. In addition\, Arts Access programing aids in changing the perception about the capabilities and talents of people with developmental disabilities. \nThe artwork created by the artists in the Arts Access Program clearly demonstrates the creativity\, talent\, and abilities of artists with disabilities. \nArts Access is a nurturing environment for self-expression\, providing opportunities for artists to create\, perform\, exhibit\, and sell their work. The program is a vehicle through which individuals with disabilities can have their ideas\, imagination\, and creativity come to life. \nExhibiting Artists: Cheryl Chapin\, Chet Cheesman\, Michael Cornely\, Philip Fisher\, Karen Frascella\, Bari Kim Goldrosen\, Tammy Heppner\, Misty Hockenbury\, Ellen Kane\, James Lane\, Lee Papierowicz\, Paul Santo\, Nancy Soto\, Isabell Villacis\, Anthony Zaccaria \n\n\n\n		\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n	\n	\n	\n \n  \n			\n				Click here to learn more about The Arts Access Program

With my etchings I’m structurally creating images by building up layers of line and tone. Recently I’m finding myself interested in structures in less recognizable locations hoping people will focus on the technique and detail I’ve built up through my cross hatching and construction of my work.”– DeAnn L.

Peter acts as both the participant and the witness of the art process. Believing everything in life is art\, and art is life. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Isabell Villacis has been a part of the Matheny Arts Access program since 2011. She illustrates compassion and love for all people in her work. Her abstract paintings are populated with meticulously placed elements\, each conveying a message in their own right as they work together to make a statement overall. She has tried almost every tool and material available to her\, (even using her own wheelchair to apply paint on the canvas)\, and never turns down a chance to integrate something new into her pieces if they help her meaning. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Moderator\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wes Sherman has been an artist for nearly 30 years. His 45 solo exhibitions include a show at Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton and at Johnson and Johnson’s Global Headquarters Gallery. He has been in hundreds of group exhibitions. He is the Curator and Chair of Exhibitions at The Center for Contemporary Art in Bedminster\, NJ. He has been a frequent visiting artist at universities and schools and is regularly asked to lead art programs for organizations and clubs. An adjunct professor\, Sherman teaches at William Paterson University and Raritan Valley Community College. He received his MFA at Rutgers University\, where he studied with his mentor Tom Nozkowski.

SUMMARY:Spring Solo Exhibitions: Tracy DiTolla // Steven Epstein // Gregory Hennen
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition showcasing the work of our three 2022 International Juried Exhibition Solo Exhibition Award winners.\nOpening: Friday\, April 21\, 2023 from 6-8 p.m.\n\nTracy DiTolla: Tragic Flaws\n\n2022 International Juried Exhibition Solo Exhibition Award \n\n\n\n		\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n	\n	\n	\n\nTracy DiTolla received her BA in art history from William Paterson University\, her MA in art history and her MFA in studio art from Montclair University. Her current work is primarily done in oil on canvas and her influences include Baroque and Surreal art as well as film noir. \nShe currently resides in northern New Jersey and chairs the art and graphic design departments at Warren County College.

He considers himself a semi-educated artist in that he’s taken classes at places like the Art Students League and the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan but doesn’t have any degrees in art. He does much of his learning through work. To him painting is often an adventure in a search for meaning\, a record of a discourse between what’s going on inside and outside of him. His work often has a gritty feel reflecting an interest in noir and jazz. There are expressionist influences and boundary crossing between the representational and abstract. There is often an exploration of underlying patterns suggested in compositions involving heightened impressions\, atmosphere and mood of the seeming commonplace. Current work can include the additional use of collage materials to his acrylic painting. Lately he has been more intuitive and experimental as a result of the introspection from the current circumstances of his retirement coinciding with the restrictions of the past few years. \nEpstein was selected for a solo show at the Monmouth Museum for their 2014 Emerging Artist Series. He’s been part of dual artist shows at the Hamilton Street Gallery in 2016 (Road Work) and 2019 (Midnight Mercury). While working as an x-ray technician he had paintings on 7 covers of the trade magazine “Radiologic Technology” after being a winner in their cover contest. \nClick here to read Steven Epstein’s Artist Statement\nLearn more about Steven Epstein \n\nGregory Hennen: Where I Wander\n2022 International Juried Exhibition Solo Exhibition Award \n\n\n\n		\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n				\n						\n		\n								\n			\n		\n							\n			\n	\n	\n	\n\nGregory Hennen is a landscape painter whose work is inspired by his extensive time spent in nature which included 15 years as the property manager for Manitou Point Nature Preserve in Garrison\, NY. While there he was responsible for designing and maintaining over 4 miles of trails along the Hudson River property. He makes graphite sketches that are often followed by small gouache paintings in preparation for more complex oil paintings created in the studio. \nHe earned his BFA from Eastern Connecticut State University\, Willimantic\, CT. His work has been shown nationally\, including group exhibitions at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art\, Huntsville Museum of Art\, University of Southern Mississippi and the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences. His painting Ridge View Wyatt Mountain was selected for the cover of the 15th edition of The Bedford Reader. His work is in the public collections of Pfizer Inc.\, Greenwich Public Library\, Greenwich\, CT and in numerous private collections. The artist has been represented by Kenise Barnes Fine Art\, Kent\, CT since 2002. He lives and works in Virginia. \nClick here to read Gregory Hennen’s Artist Statement\nLearn more about Gregory Hennen \n\nFor more information on our accessibility services and gallery access\, please call us or visit our accessibility webpage.

It is my attempt to bring into relief the issues of gender bias\, political violence and discrimination against women. In creating a body of work that confronts the dehumanization of women I also confront a system that dehumanizes me as a man who is Black.” — Victor Davson \nClick Here to Read Victor Davson’s Complete Artist Statement \nVictor Davson has exhibited widely throughout the northeast United States and in Great Britain\, France\, the Dominican Republic and Cuba.

SUMMARY:Beneath the Surface
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: September 30\, 2022 – December 9\, 2022\nOpening Reception: Friday\, September 30\, 2022 from 6-8 p.m. \nNortheast Feltmakers Guild Juried Exhibition\nJURORS: Wes Sherman and Patricia Spark \nEXHIBITING ARTISTS: Sibel Adali\, Leslie Alexander\, Colette Ballew\, Marsha Biderman\, Robin Blakney-Carlson\, Josephine Dakers-Brathwaite\, Judith M.

Ryan\, Sibel Adali\, Linda Tomkow\, Rae Gold\, Nancy Winegard\, Kerstin Katko\,\nRachel Montroy\, Susan Getchell \n“My first exposure to the medium of felt came through Joseph Beuys’ art\, and his many uses of felt (e.g. “Felt Suit\,” “Plight\,” and “Sled”)\, as well as Robert Morris’ industrial felt abstract sculptures. This early exposure\, more than twenty years ago\, helped me see wool\, and other soft materials\, as a medium for rigorous artistic exploration. \nThe submissions for this exhibition presented many wonderful uses of felt. The first time through the entries I looked at everything and then took a long break—returning the next day. At that point\, I selected the work that had stayed with me from the previous day. The next review was more difficult. I had to eliminate several really good works to fit the limited space within the gallery.  At this point in the process\, I asked myself: how does each piece relate to the term “contemporary” in the Center’s name? I considered how the medium and the composition work together to support the artist’s vision; how the objects contribute to the art community at large and to works in other media that are dealing with similar concepts.”\n— Wes Sherman \nClick Here to Read Wes Sherman’s Complete Juror Statement \nWes Sherman has been an artist for nearly 30 years.

This year’s works of art by 91 participating members include painting\, pastel\, charcoal\, ink\, graphite\, photography\, mixed media\, ceramics and more. \nJudge: M’kina Tapscott \n“All the members’ works were inspired\, and executed with such great craftsmanship and detail. I could see the hours of attention\, and felt the love and dedication that went into creating the variety of paintings\, drawings\, sculptures and ceramics. Many of these pieces used vibrant colors and a variety of lines to explore nature\, memories\, folk art\, science\, and religion. \nVarious themes and stories began to unravel each time I viewed the works. I could see the use of layers of multiple colors to create interesting textures and organic shapes and depth. The balance of color and contrast contributed to the captivating mood\, as many of the works were dreamlike and mysterious. In the portraits\, although the expressions in the characters are calm and the images are static\, there is a sense of energy and movement captured in the whimsical and brave figures. With so many great pieces to choose between\, it was tough making this decision.” — M’kina Tapscott \nM’Kina Tapscott has a fifteen year career in education\, access\, curation and advocacy. Beginning with her work as Director of Education and Programs at Project Row Houses\, an art and social service development in Houston\, TX\, and continuing through education and outreach positions at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, and the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft\, Tapscott has championed the primacy of art in building community and advancing social change.  Concurrent with her curatorial and administrative work\, Tapscott has taught art history and studio art at all levels– most recently at the University of Houston and Houston Community College.  A practicing artist\, she holds an MFA from the University of Houston and a BFA from Texas State University.
