Art Show of the Month for March- Julia Bertussi: That’s the Dream

February 25, 2025 By Alexis Starke

Join us on Sunday, March 2nd, from 3:00 – 5:00 pm for an opening reception for our Art Show of the Month- Julia Bertussi: That’s the Dream.  All are welcome!  The exhibition will be on display throughout the month.  

Julia Bertussi is an artist from Pearl River, New York. She is currently working as the Director of Education at One River School of Art and Design in Hartsdale. She graduated from Ithaca College in 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts in art education. Although she is passionate about art education in her daily life, Julia’s attachment to abstract art is undeniable. She specializes in oil painting and mixed media work, specifically focusing on soft pastels and ink combined in one piece. Her work tends to focus on an exploration of liminality and disturbed synchronicity, while also portraying psychological themes, personal narratives, and societal critiques. These themes emerge in colorful abstractions, specific linework, and representations of the human figure. She subconsciously, but consistently, explores the contradictory nature of everyday experiences through depictions of abstracted normalcy.

That’s The Dream describes the contradictory coexistence of organic, beautiful, peaceful nature within the restrictions of normal life. Nature all around us, as well as our own natural instincts, are disrupted by the rules and regulations of being a functioning, effective individual in our society. As we each navigate our daily lives, we recognize more and more how difficult it is to be career motivated and in tune with our natural instincts simultaneously. Just as the coexistence of nature and normalcy are contradictory, so is the concept of completeness in art. In each artwork, as I explore this contradiction, I also explore and combat the nature of completeness. Everything natural and unnatural is in progress, and the coexistence of nature and normalcy–that’s the dream.

February 14, 2025 By Alexis Starke

I love to read.
Books are beautiful.
I love to draw.
Therefore, I love to draw books.

Read Books & Things is an exhibit of reproduction (prints) of my color pencil drawings of books. The books are from my home library or that I have seen in the libraries of others, private and public. Occasionally, I have seen books stacked with an object and included it.

HAMMER AND CLAY: TWO FILMS BY CHRISTOPHER “KIT” LUKAS

February 13, 2025 By Alexis Starke

Join us on Thursday, February 20th, at 6:00 pm for HAMMER AND CLAY: TWO FILMS BY CHRISTOPHER “KIT” LUKAS. Please register on our website events calendar.

PETE SEEGER’S LEGACY
After Pete Seeger’s death in 2014, film-maker Christopher Lukas felt that the world needed a film that would define forever who the man had been. The lucky coincidence of finding a sculptor – Gary Sussman – who had been commissioned to make a life-size bronze statue of Seeger gave the film its momentum. 


HOPE AND DESPAIR
The seasoned sculptor Gary Sussman makes a clay portrait of the 89-year-old filmmaker, Christopher Lukas. Lukas, in turn, makes a film of Sussman at work on the portrait. But the film turns out to be much more than that: it is a conversation between two old friends about life, death, missed opportunities, and accomplished triumphs.
