“Portrait” Exhibition Opening (in person)

The Art of Portraiture: Representing oneself or a subject through a creative medium involves more than merely capturing a likeness. These often surprising but always revealing works reflect physical, emotional, and even spiritual connections that can inform and challenge expectations. Queen City 15 Gallery is presenting the artists interpretation of this theme with traditional and nontraditional approaches. Whether artist, subject, or observer, everyone has a story.
Exhibition runs: July 2 through 31
Opening Reception: Saturday July 3, 4:00 to 6:00pm

“Who Really Cares” exhibition at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art

For the 14th annual Hudson Valley Artists exhibition, curated by Helen Toomer, we invited artists to submit artwork that deals with the challenges of the past year and the re-imaginings of years to come, responding to the question “Who really cares?” asked by Marvin Gaye fifty years ago on the monumental album, “What’s Going On.”

The exhibition begins July 7 and continues until November 14, 2021. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday: 11 am – 5 pm
August hours: Weekends only. Suggested $5 donation.
