SUMMARY:THE SEASONS - Four Love Stories
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of a year\, four sets of intertwined characters are faced\nwith turning points in their romantic lives. Each chapter takes place in a\ndifferent season\, with the central characters in each season being\nage-appropriate\, thus: Summer\, young adults\, Autumn\, middle aged\, Winter\,\nelderly\, and Spring\, a ten-year-old girl. USA\, 2022\, 82 minutes.\nAfter the screening Rockland County filmmaker Paul Schwartz will discuss\nhis film with Peabody Award winning broadcaster and ArtsRock Executive\nDirector Elliott Forrest.\nFrom March 16 through 26\, Rivertown Film will present Paul Schwartz’s A New\nYork Story (2021) in our virtual theater. When you purchase a ticket to\nThe Seasons you will receive a discount code for 100% off of the price of\ntickets to A New York Story.\nDirectors Statement: I have always been intrigued by pieces that are told\nas a series of stories that link to each other: either thematically\, by\nsharing characters\, or by unfolding linearly over a period of time. In this\nfilm the four stories are linked in all three ways. They are all romantic\,\nthey are told serially as the seasons succeed each other\, and in each story\nafter the first\, one character from the previous story reappears.\nPaul Schwartz is a writer\, director and composer. His work is in the field\nof dramatic story-telling in all its forms\, and encompasses projects in\nfilm\, theatre\, opera and dance. Recent film projects include TIME CAN BREAK\nYOUR HEART and A NEW YORK STORY. He is the composer of two operas\, multiple\nballet scores for New York City Ballet\, Milwaukee Ballet\, Lucinda Childs\nDance Company and others. He is the creator of two cult series of\nrecordings: the ARIA series and the STATE OF GRACE series\, which have sold\nover a million copies world wide. He has sold millions more through his\ncollaborations with Carlos Santana\, Josh Groban\, and David Foster.

SUMMARY:The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion - Sculptures by Dorothy Gillespie
DESCRIPTION:The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion\nSculptures by Dorothy M. Gillespie\nThe Catherine Konner Sculpture Park\nOct. 15\, 2021 – Oct. 2023\nFree to the Public\, Dawn to Dusk\nRoCA 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.\nDorothy 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.\nGillespie (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.\nDuring 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.\nAn 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.\nGillespie 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.\nDorothy 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.\nAmong 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.\nThe 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.\nThis exhibition was made possible thanks to the generous support of The Dorothy M. Gillespie Foundation and Gary Israel.\nRoCA’s programs are made possible\, in part\, with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts\, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Funding is also made possible by the County of Rockland.\nRoCA gratefully acknowledges support for its programs from The Richard Pousette-Dart Foundation\, M&T Bank\, The M&T Charitable Foundation\, The Dorothy Gillespie Foundation\, Peter & Rebecca Lang\, Kantrowitz\, Goldhamer & Graifman P.C.\, Luxury Kitchen and Bath\, Golden Artist Colors\, Inc.\, QuietEvents\, the Estate of Joan Konner\, Lighting Services Inc.\, Sarah and Stephen Thomas\, the Mark and Jessie Milano Foundation\, Zaklin Family Charitable Fund\, The County of Rockland\, Simona and Jerome Chazen\, Art Services Group\, RoCA members\, donors and business members.

SUMMARY:A New York Story\, directed by Paul Schwartz
DESCRIPTION:In the tumultuous summer of 2020\, four entwined New Yorkers tell stories of\nhow their lives have been shaped by the protests\, the pandemic\, and the\nunforeseen consequences of both. Directed by Rockland filmmaker Paul\nSchwartz\, 2021\, 49 minutes\, with Mike Keller\, Ivy Omere\, Joan Porter\, Ed\nSetrakian.\nDirectors statement: The pandemic\, the protests and the sense of a total\npolitical schism in 2020 were all things I needed to address creatively\,\nand in a way that minimized the risk of infection for all involved. So I\ntell A New York Story in four monologues by four different characters\, each\nwith their own agenda and point of view\, but the stories they tell are only\nfragments the whole. I shot each actor individually\, limited the crew to\none person (me)\, and followed strict Covid protocols so that I could\nrealize the story while protecting my colleagues.\n$7 / $5\, and free when you purchase a ticket to Paul Schwartz’s The Seasons\n– Four Love Stories\, screening at Rivertown Film in the Nyack Center on\nMarch 15.

SUMMARY:Gaelic Storm & The High Kings
DESCRIPTION: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).\nGaelic 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.

SUMMARY:Photo Exhibit: 82 Pieces of '82: Main Street\, Nyack
DESCRIPTION:82 Pieces of ’82\nMain Street\, Nyack\nPhotos by Brad Hess\nThe Historical Society of the Nyacks\n50 Piermont Avenue\n \nThe exhibit will be open Saturdays from 1 – 4 January 21st through April 15th\nIn 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.\n \n82 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.\n

SUMMARY:The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion - Sculptures by Dorothy Gillespie
DESCRIPTION:The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion\nSculptures by Dorothy M. Gillespie\nThe Catherine Konner Sculpture Park\nOct. 15\, 2021 – Oct. 2023\nFree to the Public\, Dawn to Dusk\nRoCA 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.\nDorothy 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.\nGillespie (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.\nDuring 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.\nAn 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.\nGillespie 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.\nDorothy 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.\nAmong 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.\nThe 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.\nThis exhibition was made possible thanks to the generous support of The Dorothy M. Gillespie Foundation and Gary Israel.\nRoCA’s programs are made possible\, in part\, with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts\, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Funding is also made possible by the County of Rockland.\nRoCA gratefully acknowledges support for its programs from The Richard Pousette-Dart Foundation\, M&T Bank\, The M&T Charitable Foundation\, The Dorothy Gillespie Foundation\, Peter & Rebecca Lang\, Kantrowitz\, Goldhamer & Graifman P.C.\, Luxury Kitchen and Bath\, Golden Artist Colors\, Inc.\, QuietEvents\, the Estate of Joan Konner\, Lighting Services Inc.\, Sarah and Stephen Thomas\, the Mark and Jessie Milano Foundation\, Zaklin Family Charitable Fund\, The County of Rockland\, Simona and Jerome Chazen\, Art Services Group\, RoCA members\, donors and business members.

SUMMARY:The Moth - True Stories Told Live
DESCRIPTION: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.\nThe 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.\nThe 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.

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.\nDuring 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.\nAn 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.\nGillespie 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.\nDorothy 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.\nAmong 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.\nThe Catherine Konner Sculpture Park is open from dawn to dusk\, free to the public. Brochures can be picked up at the registration desk.

SUMMARY:The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion - Sculptures by Dorothy Gillespie
DESCRIPTION:The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion\nSculptures by Dorothy M. Gillespie\nThe Catherine Konner Sculpture Park\nOct. 15\, 2021 – Oct. 2023\nFree to the Public\, Dawn to Dusk\nRoCA 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.\nDorothy 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.\nGillespie (1920-2012) was born in Roanoke\, VA and lived in Nyack during the later years of her life.
