Art Exhibit: A Walk in the Park by Dan Lukens
2023-03-02 - 2023-04-01 | Palisades Free Library,19 Closter Road, Palisades, NY 10964, USA
Walking Tallman State Park from the South entrance, you are drawn to the dramatic Hudson vistas. On a less traveled trail, however, there is a path straddled by beautiful marsh ponds. An unnatural landscape, the earthen berms there are reminders of a human purpose now long since forgotten. In new painting, are views of the park and other favorite local places – Dan Lukens
Dan’s paintings will be on display and available for purchase in the Marie H. Firestone Community Room through the month of March.

Improvisationalism: Myth & Nature
2023-04-15 11:00 - 2023-06-10 16:00 | Rockland Center for the Arts, 27 South Greenbush Road, West Nyack, 10994
Improvisationalism in Gallery One
Paintings of Gde Arsa Artha
April 15 – June 10, 2023
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 15, 2pm – 5pm
Free to the Public
Please join Rockland Center for the Arts for the opening of two exhibits: Improvisationalism: Paintings by Gde Arsa Artha in Gallery One.
Improvisationalism 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.
Tjokorda 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.
Please 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.

Roost Restaurant and Union Arts Center are pleased to present two new exhibitions featuring the work of Andrea Baruffi and Suzanne Auer.
In Gallery 1, Andrea Baruffi showcases a collection of prints made from his original acrylic paintings. Baruffi’s artistic style is characterized by whimsy and humor. Many of the original acrylic paintings, from which the “Playful” series of art prints are made, range in size from 60″ x 80″ to 80″ x 80″. They are available for purchase directly from the artist’s studio, located two hours north of Florence. His work is widely exhibited throughout Italy.
Baruffi, a former illustrator and longtime resident of Piermont, returned to Italy after his retirement, having worked in New York for major advertising agencies and children’s book publishers. He received classical training in art at the prestigious Liceo Artistico in Bologna and holds a degree in architecture from the University of Florence. He cites Edward Hopper and Caravaggio among his favorite artists. To learn more about Baruffi and his work, visit Instagram page @andrea_baruffi_paintings. For inquiries about sales or further information, please contact Kathy at (845) 652-0737 (Piermont) or kathleenbaruffi@gmail.com.
In Gallery 2, Suzanne Auer presents a series of paintings that highlight her love of color. The paintings evoke a sense of nostalgia and a feeling of revisiting favorite places and things. Auer showcases her process of planning a painting around a specific color and creating a visual path through it.
Auer received her BFA in Jewelry and Silversmithing from SUNY New Paltz and started her own business painting children’s clothes and murals. This led to creating The Art
Studio, a business teaching drawing and painting to children and adults for over 20 years in Highland Mills, NY. She is now retired and painting every free moment she
gets. For more information, visit www.suzanneauerpaintings.com.

Roost Restaurant and Bar is an American brasserie where co-owner Chef Kevin Reilly serves elevated fare, utilizing the freshest seasonal ingredients for a variety of exquisite meat, seafood, and vegetable dishes. In 2020, Roost moved around the corner from its initial Sparkill location to its present home inside the iconic Union Arts Center. The century-old firehouse was meticulously renovated in 2010 by Simon Basner and repurposed as a venue for multi- disciplinary artistic expression. When Roost leased and subsequently purchased the building, co-owner Maria Santini created a space which patrons often describe as having a cool, unique vibe and much more than just a place to dine – it’s an experience that is not soon forgotten.
Restaurant Reservations are highly recommended. For Private Event Inquiries visit Roost at roostinsparkill.com. For Reservations: 845-359-6700
