Garrison Art Center / Summer ARTtots

Dreaming of summer? Registration is now open for Summer Arts on the Hudson and ARTtots at Garrison Art Center!

Registration is now open for two of our acclaimed summer programs! Both Summer Arts on the Hudson and Summer ARTtots offer a unique opportunity for children to have a meaningful and fun experience this summer.

 

For almost 30 years, Summer Arts on the Hudson has provided rising Kindergarteners-8th graders the ability to spend time with teaching artists in a facility devoted to art making. Students will experience varied methods and explorations, including taking advantage of our printmaking and clay studios, all with the Hudson River rolling by. 

 

Summer ARTtots program for pre-school children offers the youngest budding artists a place to create and explore art. Each day includes story time, demonstrations, and plenty of artistic exploration. This half-day program for potty trained children runs concurrent with Summer Arts on the Hudson.

ESCHER / The Exhibition & Experience (7)

  

 It was a lot of fun...had a great day visiting 'The Master'.

ESCHER / The Exhibition & Experience (6)

Great installations and wonderful showcasing!

ESCHER / The Exhibition & Experience (5)

Inside kind of labyrinth...“Infinity Room”, mirrors facing mirrors chamber, amid strings of repeating shapes-like M.C. Escher's "Flying Fish" artwork.

ESCHER / The Exhibition & Experience (4)

My 'top of the tops'...the possibility of being on top of
"The impossible Triangle"...Yep!

ESCHER / The Exhibition & Experience (3)

Visitors coming to see this new edition of the 'Escher international show' have several chances to interact with some of the artist's  concepts and creations as well.  Getting inside the famous "Crystal Ball" with my own reflexion...was awesome!

ESCHER / The Exhibition & Experience (2)

This image is from a printed program of "m.c. Escher / El arte de lo imposible" traveling show, at Canal de Isabel II, Madrid, Spain.  In 2007 I made a very special trip from New York City to Madrid in order to be personally able to see it because, obviously, it was so important to me.

selgasArt / Tapestry-Some (4)

'Hung as tapestries'...a serie of 'acrylic on folded canvas' I've been working on since 2012. The very 'textile' aspet created by the fact of no having stretchers as support and never 'going flat' on the wall, give them a kind of sculptural presence.

selgasArt / Tapestry-Some (2)

"La Habana para una Infanta difunta" is an sculpture-assemblage  made out of men's belts as a 'Hoop skirt' secured by screws and nuts.  On top; atresso for the hard base-of-torso, and peplum  cover by 'my own web work' using hemp rope treated with heavy medium acrylic, decorated by metal-nuts as 'pretend-Jewellery' and a carved-wooden hand holding an already-made Cuban flag.
The title plays a phonetic trick on  Ravel's "Pavana para una Infanta difunta". 'Infanta' is (was) also a major Avenue in Havana's so well known 'glorious past' before the actual nightmare.
