Please join Rockland Center for the Arts for the opening Encore Encounter: Recycled works by Poramit Thantapalit in Gallery Two.
Encore Encounter features the works of Poramit Thantapalit. Poramit’s work is inspired by the relationship and connection between humans, nature and the surroundings such as trees, flowers, the ocean, people and animals. The artist focuses on using both recycled and non-recycled materials to create his artwork. Discarded shopping bags, cereal boxes, and plastic bottles that were once considered “trash” are altered into unexpected visions of beauty such as coral clouds hanging from the ceiling and bluetanica gardens growing on the wall . Poramit’s artwork is created from small parts and are uniquely assembled like puzzles. Each piece can stand alone as an individual object or together to create a large installation. 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. It also His work inspires viewers to protect our environment.
A native of Thailand, Poramit Thantapalit has a degree in journalism and a master’s in computer graphics from New York Institute of Technology. He has over 15 years experience as a graphic designer, artist and photographer with global marketing organizations. His installations and artworks have been exhibited at the Arcadia Earth Museum, National Academy Museum, the James Rose Center, IPCNY Print Fest at Robert Miller Gallery, the Jersey City Theater, and the Sodertalje Arts Gallery in Sweden. His installation “Masked Arts” that he created during the pandemic was featured in the New York Times Sunday edition in May 2021. Poramit now lives in New Jersey.

Art Reception – Saturday, May 6 – 1:00-3:00pm
My name is Lisa Quinn. I am a self-taught wood artist. In 2018 I was looking for art for my home, and when I couldn’t find what I was looking for, I decided to create it myself. After that first piece, the artful creations just kept coming.
The colors I use come from my surroundings, whether they be from nature or otherwise. Each piece is meant to evoke emotion and inspire imagination. I enjoy working with clients to create custom commissions inspired by their own experiences and decor. Each piece is cut, sanded and painted by hand.

Roost Restaurant and Union Arts Center are pleased to present two new
exhibitions featuring the work of Andrea Baruffi and Suzanne Auer.

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.

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

An Evening with Cowboy Junkies
2023-05-04 20:00 - 21:30 | Tarrytown Music Hall, 13 Main Street, Tarrytown, NY, 10591, United States
In 1988, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise — and it was compelling. It stood out in the midst of the flash and bombast that came to define the late 80’s.
The now classic recording combined folk, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before and went on to sell more than a million copies. Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Margo Timmins on vocals, Peter Timmins on drums, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, the band has sparkled over the course of 26 albums. “I’ve known Alan longer than I’ve known Pete,” says Michael. “We were friends before Pete was born.”
Unlike most long-lasting groups, Cowboy Junkies have never had a break up or taken a sanity-saving hiatus. There’s an appreciation of each other that keeps them constantly working. “It’s that intimacy and understanding of what each one of us brings to the table,” says Michael.
