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.

Latinlounge with Cuban singer & pianist Ariacne Trujillo Duran! 3/15 6/8PM
2023-03-15 17:00 - 22:00 | Roost Restaurant,2 Union Street, Sparkill, NY 10976, USA
Roost Restaurant is happy to invite you to our March Latin Lounge at Union
Arts Center! Presented by Mz. Valentine, March’s Latin Lounge will showcase
the music of Ariacne Trujillo Duran.
Grammy nominee Ariacne Trujillo Duran was born in Havana, Cuba. She began
her career as a child prodigy. Blessed with perfect pitch, she’s had an
extensive career as a concert pianist and composer. She achieved Master
prizes and Special Mentions in national and international Cuban
competitions and performed at the country’s top theaters and halls. At age
14, Ariacne was chosen to perform with Matanzas and Santiago de Cuba’s
symphonic orchestra. While working as a lead singer, dancer and pianist at
the legendary Cabaret Tropicana, she pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in music
piano performance from Cuba’s hyper-competitive ISA Conservatory.
In 2002 she arrived in New York City after winning a Residency Fellowship
in musical composition at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Since
then, Trujillo has been in numerous significant projects, such as the 14
piece New York Times-acclaimed Timba band “La bola,” where she was the
Musical Director, pianist, and lead vocalist. She was the lead vocalist and
pianist with The Pedrito Martinez Group for over 6 years, where she
performed in many of the most important Jazz Festivals around the world
such as:
Red Sea Jazz Fest. Newport Jazz Fest, Umbria Jazz Fest, Montreaux Jazz
Fest, Peruggia Jazz Fest, Daegu International Jazz Fest, The Murton
Percussion Fest, San Fransisco Jazz Fest, etc.
With her powerful musical presence and versatility, Trujillo has become one
of the virtuoso pianists and vocalists from the New York area.
Trujillo recently graduated with a Suma Cum Laude Bachelor of Art in Music
at the New Jersey City University and is already on the Master Jazz
Program. In 2018 she accepted the Musical Director’s position for the
off-Broadway production “Carmen to Havana and Back.” Performing with her
Quintet, she has received critical acclaim as the production’s arranger,
singer, and Master of Ceremonies. In 2022, she was the pianist of another
off-Broadway production “My Broken Language”, written and directed by
Quiara Alegria and musical supervised by Alex Lacamore. One of Trujillo’s
compositions was included in Terri Lyne Carrington’s book New Standards,
published by Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice.
Trujillo’s Unique Style derives from her countless professional
participations mixed in with her intrinsic musical instinct. Her music
characteristically carries a special treatment of the implicit rhythm of
the “Tumbaos,” mixing the traditional Cuban Music with “Timba” and
classical highlights, charged with aggressive harmonization with great
technical complexity and creativity.
Trujillo has performed, shared a stage, and recorded with legends such as
Paul Simon, Paquito D. Rivera, Wynton Marsalis, Steve Gadd, Jonny Pacheco,
John Scofield, Javier Limón, Steve Turre, Brian Lynch, Lew Soloff, Taj
Mahal, Diego El Cigala, Alain Perez, Jimmy Busch, Derek Trucks, Isaac
Delgado, and Esperanza Spalding.
Her vocal technique stems from an opera background with an extensive and
sometimes slightly raspy range where she constantly phrases and uses
methods of R&B, Opera, Funk, Blues, Jazz, and Soul.

THE SEASONS - Four Love Stories
2023-03-15 20:00 - 22:00 | The Nyack Center,Depew Ave & S Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960, USA
Over the course of a year, four sets of intertwined characters are faced
with turning points in their romantic lives. Each chapter takes place in a
different season, with the central characters in each season being
age-appropriate, thus: Summer, young adults, Autumn, middle aged, Winter,
elderly, and Spring, a ten-year-old girl. USA, 2022, 82 minutes.
After the screening Rockland County filmmaker Paul Schwartz will discuss
his film with Peabody Award winning broadcaster and ArtsRock Executive
Director Elliott Forrest.
From March 16 through 26, Rivertown Film will present Paul Schwartz’s A New
York Story (2021) in our virtual theater. When you purchase a ticket to
The Seasons you will receive a discount code for 100% off of the price of
tickets to A New York Story.
Directors Statement: I have always been intrigued by pieces that are told
as a series of stories that link to each other: either thematically, by
sharing characters, or by unfolding linearly over a period of time. In this
film the four stories are linked in all three ways. They are all romantic,
they are told serially as the seasons succeed each other, and in each story
after the first, one character from the previous story reappears.
Paul Schwartz is a writer, director and composer. His work is in the field
of dramatic story-telling in all its forms, and encompasses projects in
film, theatre, opera and dance. Recent film projects include TIME CAN BREAK
YOUR HEART and A NEW YORK STORY. He is the composer of two operas, multiple
ballet scores for New York City Ballet, Milwaukee Ballet, Lucinda Childs
Dance Company and others. He is the creator of two cult series of
recordings: the ARIA series and the STATE OF GRACE series, which have sold
over a million copies world wide. He has sold millions more through his
collaborations with Carlos Santana, Josh Groban, and David Foster.

A New York Story, directed by Paul Schwartz
2023-03-17 07:00 - 2023-03-26 23:30 | https://rivertownfilm.org/12443-2/
In the tumultuous summer of 2020, four entwined New Yorkers tell stories of
how their lives have been shaped by the protests, the pandemic, and the
unforeseen consequences of both. Directed by Rockland filmmaker Paul
Schwartz, 2021, 49 minutes, with Mike Keller, Ivy Omere, Joan Porter, Ed
Setrakian.
Directors statement: The pandemic, the protests and the sense of a total
political schism in 2020 were all things I needed to address creatively,
and in a way that minimized the risk of infection for all involved. So I
tell A New York Story in four monologues by four different characters, each
with their own agenda and point of view, but the stories they tell are only
fragments the whole. I shot each actor individually, limited the crew to
one person (me), and followed strict Covid protocols so that I could
realize the story while protecting my colleagues.
$7 / $5, and free when you purchase a ticket to Paul Schwartz’s The Seasons
– Four Love Stories, screening at Rivertown Film in the Nyack Center on
March 15.

A TIME … WITH FOLKLORIST PATSY BRENNAN
2023-03-17 18:30 - 21:00 | Nyack, NY, USA
There is an Irish custom of neighbors dropping in to see neighbors for ‘a time’… A time to connect, to celebrate the Irish heritage, to just be with others for a time… Come spend some time with us on St. Patrick’s night to celebrate our culture (not the saint) and hear stories of Celtic myths and legends with folklorist, Patsy Brennan… evening is open to the community, free to all!

Gaelic Storm & The High Kings
2023-03-17 20:00 - 21:30 | Tarrytown Music Hall, 13 Main Street, Tarrytown, NY, 10591, United States
A St. Patricks Day Celebration at Tarrytown Music Hall! The High Kings continue to set the bar extremely high for Irish folk bands across the world. In their time together, ‘The High Kings’ have charted across the world and performed for hundreds of thousands of fans, as well as in many prestigious situations including for the Prime Minister of England (2011), Barak Obama( 2012) & George W Bush (2009 at the White house and at The Pentagon (2015). Notable performances include Glastonbury, the Isle of Wight (3 times – headlining in 2015), They appeared in Times Square and also headlined the St Patrick’s Day concert in Trafalgar Square, London (2015).
Gaelic Storm are a chart topping Celtic band: 7 times billboard #1 world music, on tour 200+ days a year for 20+ years! More fun than a barrel of drunken monkeys. It’s hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success, but that’s exactly what makes a true anomaly. This multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and as you can imagine, after two decades and over 2000 shows, it is a true force to be reckoned with. With their latest release, Go Climb a Tree, their music has never sounded more representative of themselves as musicians and as live performers.

Photo Exhibit: 82 Pieces of '82: Main Street, Nyack

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.

The Moth - True Stories Told Live
2023-03-18 20:00 - 21:30 | Tarrytown Music Hall, 13 Main Street, Tarrytown, NY, 10591, United States
An evening of storytelling from the producers of the popular Moth Podcast and Radio Hour. The Moth is true stories, told live and without notes. Since its founding, The Moth has presented more than fifteen thousand stories, told live and without notes, to standing-room-only crowds worldwide.
The group celebrates the ability of stories to honor both the diversity and commonality of human experience, and to satisfy a vital human need for connection. It seeks to present recognized storytellers among established and emerging writers, performers and artists and to encourage storytelling among communities whose stories often go unheard.
The Moth began on a back porch in small-town Georgia, where its founder—poet and best-selling novelist George Dawes Green—would spend sultry summer evenings swapping spellbinding tales with a small circle of friends. There was a hole in the screen, which let in moths that were attracted to the light, and the group started calling themselves “The Moths.” When he moved to New York City, George wanted to recreate the feeling of those nights in his adopted city. The first New York Moth event was held in George’s living room. But word spread fast, and the events soon moved to cafes and clubs throughout the city—and soon to popular venues throughout the country and beyond.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Oxana Mikhailoff
Oxana Mikhailoff was hailed in a recent review by Jon Sobel as “a titan of
the Romantic Piano Literature.” Of her playing, Vladimir Feltsman said
“…(Oxana Mikhailoff) is a mature and accomplished musician…Her playing has
character, imagination, and is poetic. She has a strong personality and
stage presence.”
Oxana has performed throughout Russia and Europe as a recitalist, concert
soloist and chamber musician. Her United States debut took place at
Carnegie Hall in 1999. She later returned to Carnegie Hall to play an
all-Chopin recital on the 150th anniversary of the composer’s death.
Oxana maintains an active teaching studio in Westchester County less than
one-half hour from New York City. Along with Vassily Primakov, Oxana is
co-Artistic Director of the Sparkill Concert Series and the Midland Music
Series in Bronxville, NY.
Vassily Primakov
In recent years, Vassily Primakovhas been hailed as a pianist of world
class importance. In 1999, as a teen-aged prizewinner of the Cleveland
International Piano Competition, Primakov was praised by Donald Rosenberg
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer: “How many pianists can make a line sing as
the Moscow native did on this occasion? Every poignant phrase took ethereal
wing. Elsewhere the music soared with all of the turbulence and poetic
vibrancy it possesses. We will be hearing much from this remarkable
musician.”
Vassily Primakov has released numerous recordings for Bridge Records that
include works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn,
Brahms, Chopin, Dvorak, Debussy, Tchaikovsky, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff,
Philip Glass, Arlene Sierra and Poul Ruders.
In 2011, Mr. Primakov, along with Natalia Lavrova established a new and
vibrant record company, L.P. Classics, Inc. Their first release was Anton
Arensky: Four Suites for Two Pianos. Most recently, they released
Primakov’s Live in Concert Album that includes works by Medtner, Schumann,
Brahms’ Handel Variations and Ravel’s La Valse.http://www.lpclassics.net
In March 2012 Vassily Primakov became a Yamaha Artist.
Vassily Primakov is Artistic Director of Sparkill Concert Series since 2018
