The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion
Sculptures by Dorothy M. Gillespie
The Catherine Konner Sculpture Park
Oct. 15, 2021 – Oct. 2023
Free to the Public, Dawn to Dusk
RoCA 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.
Dorothy 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.
Gillespie (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.
During 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.
An 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.
Gillespie 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.
Dorothy 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.
Among 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.
The 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.

Ogham, the mysterious ancient Irish alphabet, is based on a set of characters (feda) that are associated with specific trees and/or plants and is considered to represent an ancient system of knowledge. Most often used today for divination, each letter symbol has specific, and often complicated and multi-faceted, concepts associated with each one. The 20 symbol-letters (‘feda’) are organized across 4 ‘families’ (aicme). Morgana will guide us in learning about each feda and its associated plant over the course of a year.
We will learn where Ogham originated, how to pronounce and write the feda, and utilize plant matter, teas, poetry, art, historical lore, guided meditations and of course the Ogham Intention Oils, to integrate us with each plant’s healing essence.
The Second Aicme ‘hÚathe’ begins March 2nd…
– hÚath (H), Hawthorn: (Overcoming) Despair, Fear & Anxiety
– Dair (D), Oak: Strength & Endurance
– Tinne (T), Holly: Mastery, Skill & Manifestation

This two-part class will give you the tools to go deeper and explore your Shadow, learn how to cut away what doesn’t serve you, and how to adapt to the changes within.
Each participant will work with at least one pattern, and through meditation and visualization, we will be able to observe, acknowledge, accept, integrate, and release a personal Shadow or pattern.
Due to the intimate nature of this work, there are only 5 places available… please reserve early.

Kibbitz & Nosh: New York City’s Vanishing Cafeterias
Photographs by Marcia Bricker Halperin
During the early to mid-20th Century, the streets of New York City were filled with hundreds of cafeterias, and self-service eating establishments. One particular restaurant, Dubrow’s Cafeteria in Brooklyn, was a legendary institution. New York City-based photographer Marcia Bricker Halperin documented Dubrow’s and other cafeterias in their waning days, drawn to the memorable faces and the liveliness and sorrow of urban life in that vanished world.

50 Piermont Avenue

The exhibit will be open Saturdays from 1 – 4 January 21st through April 15th
In 1982, photographer Brad Hess walked Main Street in Nyack every Sunday morning, taking over 3,000 black and white photographs. Trying out a new film, he decided Main Street was where he would experiment with it. As the images emerged from his dark room, he became fascinated with the quality of the film as well as the opportunities Main Street offered him. He returned nearly every Sunday morning for the next year, walking from 9W to the riverfront.

82 Pieces of ’82, Main Street, Nyack will be our first traditional “opening” since COVID. Please join us in thanking Brad for sharing his amazing work with us, and hearing what he has to say about these street scenes and their meaning for Nyack. We look forward to your questions, feedback and commentary. Brad will have the floor around 1:30. Please come masked – we want to minimize everyone’s exposure to our current variant with its high transmission potential. And for that reason also, our refreshments are very minimal.

Cyanotype prints are often made of the recycled objects of art. Beautifully created sculptures, installations, mixed media and drawings exemplify just how much waste we generate.

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.

Untold Stories
April 15 – June 10, 2023
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 15, 2pm-5pm
Free to the Public
Rockland Center for the Arts (RoCA) continues its mission of inspiring the
community through new and diverse forms of contemporary exhibitions, all
free to the public. During the month of April, RoCA will bring together
three artists whose art conveys life stories of ecological issues,
immigration, and humanity.
Untold Stories, curated by Mary Ting for the Emerson Gallery, brings
together fragmented memories, dreams, whispers, whimpers, trauma,
historical and contemporary chaos which are woven together, dissected, and
reassembled in the works of Tara Sabharwal, Mary Ting and Yeon Ji Yoo. Time
is at once present, past, future and the site is here, there, elsewhere and
nowhere. These works are much more than collages, drawings, paintings,
prints, books, sculpture, and photographs – they are evocations of loss;
desperations; relics, shrines; and reckonings. Likewise, they are also
rebirths; devotions; divinations, odes to nature, wonder, life; and newly
revised contemporary translations of old stories. These Untold Stories are
the artists’ pilgrimage into the hauntings of war, immigration, politics,
gender issues and ecological collapse.
The paintings, drawings and prints of Tara Sabharwal are intuitive in
process -a melding of the unconscious self and the raging global migration
crisis. Tara has also curated many exhibitions on the theme of migration.
Tara was born and educated in Delhi, India and resides in New York.
The drawings, installations and books of Mary Ting reflect on Chinese
cultural history, trauma, grief, and the loss of nature. Mary teaches
environmental justice and does research on the wildlife trade. Mary is an
American born Chinese, who also studied and worked in China.
The sculpture, photographs and collages of Yeon-Ji Yoo are infused with her
childhood memories, family struggles and reconstructed narratives. Yeon Ji
has a graduate degree in fine arts and also environmental science. Yeon Ji
spent her early childhood in rural South Korea before immigrating to the
United States.
Please join Rockland Center for the Arts for the exhibition opening artists
