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.

presents
WHAT HAPPENED TO JACKSON AVENUE
A Story of Urban Renewal
A Documentary Film by Hakima Alem and Rudi Gohl
In the summer of 2019 Clara Francesca, Elise Stone, and Craig Smith from
Phoenix Theatre Ensemble were meeting with Bill Batson, Nyack community
leader, historian, and activist, outside in the Nyack parking lot next to
Main Street planning the Nyack performing arts festival. At one point Bill
standing in some empty parking spaces said, “This was Jackson Avenue, our
family house stood here” – thus began a 2-year journey leading to this
powerful documentary film about the urban renewal program in 1960’s Nyack.
“What Happened to Jackson Avenue, a story of urban renewal” covers an urban
renewal program that removed 125 families (79% Black). These families lost
their homes, families, community and generational wealth. The film includes
personal and emotional stories from individuals who were present and saw
the destruction of their community, some of whom are now in their 80s and
90s and want to be heard.
This screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
