SUMMARY:Improvisationalism: Myth & Nature
DESCRIPTION:Improvisationalism in Gallery One\nPaintings of Gde Arsa Artha\nApril 15 – June 10\, 2023\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 15\, 2pm – 5pm\nFree to the Public \nPlease join Rockland Center for the Arts for the opening of two exhibits: Improvisationalism: Paintings by Gde Arsa Artha in Gallery One.\nImprovisationalism is the work of Rockland artist\, Gde Arsa Artha\, inspired by his homeland of Ubud\, Bali\, Indonesia.  His paintings play off of nature\, mythology and traditional Balinese folk tales.  Art plays an important part in Balinese traditional ceremonies\, establishing a need for spatial orientation\, both physically and visually\, balancing and arranging the energy of the universe.  For example\, his painting “Moon Eclipse” displays the moon as the goddess of immortality fighting off the evil demon from hell as he flies through the sky during the full moon trying to swallow the moon goddess\, Ratih.  Ratih brings balance to the universe by not allowing the demon to capture immortality. The painting was inspired by the 1997 Hailey’s Comet and Bali mythology of the moon eclipse.  His latest paintings often incorporate ink and computer technology.  As tradition has informed his art\, evolution helped develop it; technically with the use of Western color and perspective while connecting with the past\, reflecting both his Balinese origin and his individuality.\nTjokorda Gde Arsa Artha studied all the traditional arts of his Bali homeland from an early age.  Arriving in New York in the early eighties\, he attended the Arts Students League in New York City on scholarship.  Through the Asia Society of New York and other organizations\, he has frequently participated in programs representing the visual and performing arts of Bali\, including music and dance performances\, workshops\, and demonstrations of Balinese techniques in painting\, carving\, crafts\, and dance.  He has exhibited in Bali’s Puri Lukisan Museum in Ubud\, throughout NYC and the Hudson Valley region.  He has been commissioned by UNICEF to paint “The Little Cowboy” for the Flags of the United Nations.  Artha has been a grant recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, a professor at Bard College\, a member of the Giri Mekar\, a community gamelan orchestra in the Hudson Valley\, and is the current Director of The Pomona Cultural Center in Rockland.  He resides in Pomona\, NY with his family.\nPlease also join Rockland Center for the Arts for the artist reception on Saturday\, April 15th\, 2:00pm – 5:00pm.  The exhibit will be on view through June 10th\, open Mondays – Saturdays 11am – 4pm\, (closed Sundays).  Free to the Public.  For more information call (845) 358-0877 or visit www.rocklandartcenter.org.\nRoCA gratefully acknowledges support for its programs from The Rea Charitable Trust\, ArtsWestchester\, Sarah and Stephen Thomas\, The Richard Pousette-Dart Foundation\, M&T Bank\, The M&T Charitable Foundation\, The Dorothy Gillespie Foundation\, Walter Cain & Paulo Ribeiro\, Kantrowitz\, Goldhamer & Graifman P.C.\, QuietEvents\, the Estate of Joan Konner\, Lighting Services Inc.\,\, the Mark and Jessie Milano Foundation\, Zaklin Family Charitable Fund\, The County of Rockland\, Art Services Group\, RoCA members\, donors and business members.\nRoCA’s programs are made possible\, in part\, with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts\, with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature. Funding is also made possible by the County of Rockland.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Untold Stories
DESCRIPTION:Untold Stories\nApril 15 – June 10\, 2023\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 15\, 2pm-5pm\nFree to the Public\nRockland Center for the Arts (RoCA) continues its mission of inspiring the\ncommunity through new and diverse forms of contemporary exhibitions\, all\nfree to the public. During the month of April\, RoCA will bring together\nthree artists whose art conveys life stories of ecological issues\,\nimmigration\, and humanity.\nUntold Stories\, curated by Mary Ting for the Emerson Gallery\, brings\ntogether fragmented memories\, dreams\, whispers\, whimpers\, trauma\,\nhistorical and contemporary chaos which are woven together\, dissected\, and\nreassembled in the works of Tara Sabharwal\, Mary Ting and Yeon Ji Yoo. Time\nis at once present\, past\, future and the site is here\, there\, elsewhere and\nnowhere. These works are much more than collages\, drawings\, paintings\,\nprints\, books\, sculpture\, and photographs – they are evocations of loss;\ndesperations; relics\, shrines; and reckonings. Likewise\, they are also\nrebirths; devotions; divinations\, odes to nature\, wonder\, life; and newly\nrevised contemporary translations of old stories. These Untold Stories are\nthe artists’ pilgrimage into the hauntings of war\, immigration\, politics\,\ngender issues and ecological collapse.\nThe paintings\, drawings and prints of Tara Sabharwal are intuitive in\nprocess -a melding of the unconscious self and the raging global migration\ncrisis. Tara has also curated many exhibitions on the theme of migration.\nTara was born and educated in Delhi\, India and resides in New York.\nThe drawings\, installations and books of Mary Ting reflect on Chinese\ncultural history\, trauma\, grief\, and the loss of nature. Mary teaches\nenvironmental justice and does research on the wildlife trade. Mary is an\nAmerican born Chinese\, who also studied and worked in China.\nThe sculpture\, photographs and collages of Yeon-Ji Yoo are infused with her\nchildhood memories\, family struggles and reconstructed narratives. Yeon Ji\nhas a graduate degree in fine arts and also environmental science. Yeon Ji\nspent her early childhood in rural South Korea before immigrating to the\nUnited States.\nPlease join Rockland Center for the Arts for the exhibition opening artists\nreception on Saturday\, April 15th\, 2:00pm – 5:00pm. The exhibit will be on\nview through June 10th\, open Mondays – Saturdays 11am – 4pm\, (closed\nSundays). Free to the Public.

SUMMARY:The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion - Sculptures by Dorothy Gillespie
DESCRIPTION:The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion\nSculptures by Dorothy M. Gillespie\nThe Catherine Konner Sculpture Park\nOct. 15\, 2021 – Oct. 2023\nFree to the Public\, Dawn to Dusk\nRoCA is proud to present the The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion exhibit as a part of a tribute to the 20th Century artist and feminist\, Dorothy Gillespie. The exhibit will open October 15th in The Catherine Konner Sculpture Park at RoCA.\nDorothy Gillespie’s joyful and brilliantly colored starbursts glimmer hanging from the trees as well as lining the pathway. The pieces create an enchanted garden of colors in motion. Though stationary they seem to possess a kinetic quality. Two larger pieces can be seen at the entry to RoCA. The exhibit was partially installed this summer and will be completed for exhibit October 15th. The exhibit will remain on display through October 2023.\nGillespie (1920-2012) was born in Roanoke\, VA and lived in Nyack during the later years of her life. She pioneered joyful\, new directions of metal sculpture and is best known for large-scale\, colorfully painted arrangements of cut aluminum strips curling\, radiating\, or undulating in giant arrangements of ribbons\, enchanted towers\, or bursting fireworks. She was well known as a painter\, sculptor and installation artist whose work incorporated many significant 20th-century trends in art.\nDuring Dorothy Gillespie’s youth … “girls did not attend art school\, at least not ‘nice’ girls\,” said Gillespie in 2010. Nevertheless\, she was determined to be an artist and attended the Maryland Institute College in Baltimore. She was more fortunate than women sculptors in the 19th Century who were mostly hired as studio assistants by established male sculptors with few exhibitions. Harriet Hosmer\, Emma Stebbins\, Edmonia Lewis\, Frances Grimes and Helen Mears were some of the few who made names in the arts as women during that time. They did not pursue monumental work as frequently as men did and mostly produced works in bronze and consistent middle-class demand for small-scale sculpture to decorate the home and garden. Today many more women are now entering traditional male dominated sculpture roles in metal\, wood and stone\, thanks to the pioneering activism of women like Dorothy Gillespie in the 20th century.\nAn influential force in the women’s movement\, Gillespie encouraged more women’s art in museums and art in public spaces. In 1970\, Gillespie joined Women in the Arts and created picket signs protesting at the Whitney Museum demanding that the curators choose more women artists for their “Annual exhibition. The demonstration worked\, and more women artists were chosen for the show. Although the increase was very slow\, over time it increased from 8 percent to 40 percent. Gillespie was the Founder of the Women Artists Historical Archives of the Women’s Interart Center in NY\, NY\, filming and taping interviews of some of the most important women artists of the 20th century as well as presenting her own radio show. Gillespie along with Joyce Weinstein founded a group called the NY Professional Women Artists. The 14 members lectures at Universities and wrote articles to encourage other women artists.\nGillespie also coordinated a course to educate and enlighten women in the visual arts\, after being invited to teach at The New School in NYC. The intent was to prepare women for a new\, more aggressive role to function in the art world. Due to her already busy schedule\, she asked artist Alice Barber to share the task of revealing to the young students the ‘system’ that drove the NY art world and how to succeed. In 1974 she organized an innovative outdoor exhibition\, Walk Through Art\, mounted in Central Park\, Battery Park\, and Rockefeller Center\, then travelling to fifty colleges\, universities and street fairs. Compelled to involve viewers in her work\, she created large 7 ft high triangles of art for people to walk through the sculptures. Gillespie has held positions of designing programs as a Professor of Art\, being a Board of Trustees for more than one college or art center\, as a visiting artist in residency and as the Chairperson of the Fine Arts Committee for the International Women’s Art Festival.\nDorothy Gillespie’s career spanned seven decades\, always at the forefront of the American Art movement. She studied at the Maryland Institute College in Baltimore before moving to New York City\, where she studied at the Art Students League. Her works grace many institutions\, museums\, colleges\, universities and public spaces\, including the permanent collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the United States Mission to the United Nations. She was one of the first artists to offer her art to the world through displays in the lobbies of public institutions and governmental centers such as the Mayo Clinic\, Epcot Center\, Warren Wilson College\, Fort Lauderdale Airport-Delta Terminal\, Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art\, the Miami Public Library\, United States Mission to the United Nations\, and the Court House Square – Roanoke\, VA and Universities across the country.\nAmong her many honors\, Gillespie received the Alice Baber Art Fund\, Inc. Grant Award: a Doctor of Pedagogy from Niagara University in Niagara Falls\, A Doctor of Fine Arts (Honoris Causa) from Caldwell College in Caldwell\, NY\, an Allied Professions Award from the Virginia Society\, the American Institute of Architects in Richmond\, VA.\, the Distinguished Alumni Award from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore\, the Outstanding Services Award from University of Arkansas at Little Rock\, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women’s Caucus for Art\, and the Gala 8 “Distinguished Woman” Award at Birmingham Southern College.\nThe Catherine Konner Sculpture Park is open from dawn to dusk\, free to the public. Brochures can be picked up at the registration desk. For more information visit: www.rocklandartcenter.org or call 845-358-0877.\nThis exhibition was made possible thanks to the generous support of The Dorothy M. Gillespie Foundation and Gary Israel.\nRoCA’s programs are made possible\, in part\, with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts\, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Funding is also made possible by the County of Rockland.\nRoCA gratefully acknowledges support for its programs from The Richard Pousette-Dart Foundation\, M&T Bank\, The M&T Charitable Foundation\, The Dorothy Gillespie Foundation\, Peter & Rebecca Lang\, Kantrowitz\, Goldhamer & Graifman P.C.\, Luxury Kitchen and Bath\, Golden Artist Colors\, Inc.\, QuietEvents\, the Estate of Joan Konner\, Lighting Services Inc.\, Sarah and Stephen Thomas\, the Mark and Jessie Milano Foundation\, Zaklin Family Charitable Fund\, The County of Rockland\, Simona and Jerome Chazen\, Art Services Group\, RoCA members\, donors and business members.

In 1970\, Gillespie joined Women in the Arts and created picket signs protesting at the Whitney Museum demanding that the curators choose more women artists for their “Annual exhibition. The demonstration worked\, and more women artists were chosen for the show. Although the increase was very slow\, over time it increased from 8 percent to 40 percent. Gillespie was the Founder of the Women Artists Historical Archives of the Women’s Interart Center in NY\, NY\, filming and taping interviews of some of the most important women artists of the 20th century as well as presenting her own radio show. Gillespie along with Joyce Weinstein founded a group called the NY Professional Women Artists. The 14 members lectures at Universities and wrote articles to encourage other women artists.\nGillespie also coordinated a course to educate and enlighten women in the visual arts\, after being invited to teach at The New School in NYC. The intent was to prepare women for a new\, more aggressive role to function in the art world. Due to her already busy schedule\, she asked artist Alice Barber to share the task of revealing to the young students the ‘system’ that drove the NY art world and how to succeed. In 1974 she organized an innovative outdoor exhibition\, Walk Through Art\, mounted in Central Park\, Battery Park\, and Rockefeller Center\, then travelling to fifty colleges\, universities and street fairs. Compelled to involve viewers in her work\, she created large 7 ft high triangles of art for people to walk through the sculptures. Gillespie has held positions of designing programs as a Professor of Art\, being a Board of Trustees for more than one college or art center\, as a visiting artist in residency and as the Chairperson of the Fine Arts Committee for the International Women’s Art Festival.\nDorothy Gillespie’s career spanned seven decades\, always at the forefront of the American Art movement. She studied at the Maryland Institute College in Baltimore before moving to New York City\, where she studied at the Art Students League. Her works grace many institutions\, museums\, colleges\, universities and public spaces\, including the permanent collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the United States Mission to the United Nations. She was one of the first artists to offer her art to the world through displays in the lobbies of public institutions and governmental centers such as the Mayo Clinic\, Epcot Center\, Warren Wilson College\, Fort Lauderdale Airport-Delta Terminal\, Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art\, the Miami Public Library\, United States Mission to the United Nations\, and the Court House Square – Roanoke\, VA and Universities across the country.\nAmong her many honors\, Gillespie received the Alice Baber Art Fund\, Inc. Grant Award: a Doctor of Pedagogy from Niagara University in Niagara Falls\, A Doctor of Fine Arts (Honoris Causa) from Caldwell College in Caldwell\, NY\, an Allied Professions Award from the Virginia Society\, the American Institute of Architects in Richmond\, VA.\, the Distinguished Alumni Award from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore\, the Outstanding Services Award from University of Arkansas at Little Rock\, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women’s Caucus for Art\, and the Gala 8 “Distinguished Woman” Award at Birmingham Southern College.\nThe Catherine Konner Sculpture Park is open from dawn to dusk\, free to the public.
