With the arrival of July, we exalt the aspects of our culture that inspire — particularly the freedom of artistic expression.
Summer is in full swing and the arts scene in the Hudson Valley is ripe with exhibitions that engage and uplift. This month, Hudson Hall presents a series of radiant paintings by father-daughter duo Ara and Allan Osterweil, while capillar at the Re Institute in Millerton includes sculptural pieces and installations by husband-wife artists Bill Schuck and Itty Neuhaus. I’m Bad: Artworks by Judith Braun at Kiddie Pool in Albany features a series of sultry mixed-media artworks by the pioneering third-wave feminist, and Dave Ortiz at 1053 Gallery in Fleischmanns includes paintings and sculptures that reflect his Pop-Art-Meets-Minimalist sensibility.
As we revel in a month that welcomes fireworks, parades, carnivals, and outdoor music, may July bring continued art adventures to art lovers everywhere! The title Water Works aptly captures the summerly essence of this four-person show at Pamela Salisbury Gallery in Hudson. Homages to water as a divine resource in the form of beach life and coastlines flow into our collective soul. Diana Horowitz’s soft-toned “Corn Hill, High Tide”.
