GCCA TURNS 40! 1975-2015 Greene County Council on the Arts celebrates its 40th year as of September 2015! As GGCA Executive Director, Kay Stamer, claimed for the 30th Anniversary…we have come a long way, baby! Before our reminiscing begins, the Members on the Board of Directors and the Staff Members at Greene County Council on the Arts wish to thank all everyone for their ongoing support and have been involved in helping GCCA reach 40 years in promoting the arts and culture in Greene, Columbia and Schoharie Counties. Thank you.

In the course of conversation over several visits they discovered that the proprietor’s background included careers in theatre and design. On a subsequent visit they asked if the proprietor would like to start an Arts Council. The response: “What’s an Arts Council?” was met with an explanation, not entirely clear at the time, that included elements of service and support for the arts and artists in all disciplines, fostering and nurturing the growth of the arts, etc. And for these government representa- tives a driving factor behind the need for an Arts Council cont. on page 16 SAVE THE DATE OCTOBER 3, 2015

Artist Draga Šušanj is now in the midst of a public art project she proposed last fall -building a Bee-Guard-en at The Mountain Top Arboretum in Tannersville.

Halfway through his thirteen years of incarceration, Noel joined several prison programs designed to reduce recidivism, including Figures in Flight 5 Dance Company, a component of Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA). As a member of RTA, Andre took part in writing plays, acting, and became dance captain of the company. With the help and infl uence of Susan Slotnick, Andre created Figures in Flight Released, a company comprised of released dancers from Woodbourne. The Social Justice Leadership Academy (SJLA) is a fi ve-week workshop and leader- ship training for teenagers in Hudson, NY, run by Kite’s Nest and the Staley B. Keith Social Justice Center. In summer 2015, eighteen youth ages 11-18 came together to step up as young leaders, developing their own voices and visions for change. This summer, they examined the struggle for racial justice as a defi ning struggle for their generation. They examined the history, systemic oppression, and liberation movements that gave birth to the Black Lives Matter Movement. From there, they explored how other facets of iden- tity shape our lived experiences, and shared their own stories. They cultivated skills for community organizing and practiced tactics to build people power, including producing radio, making music, writing poetry, presenting speeches, feeding our community, and building a network of change-makers. SJLA will exhibit listening stations featuring orig- inal music and poetry, recorded conversations between children and teenagers about their communities, police violence, and the Black Lives Matter movement, and a multi-media piece produced by Jasmine Wise titled “Are you intimidated by strong black women?”, which raises critical questions about violence and police brutality against women of color using photographs, poetry and interviews recorded with Hudson residents. The Victory Bus Project (VBP) of Germantown, a project of the Freedom Food Alliance, will exhibit photographs showing a day in the life of their prison bus trips. VPB provides aff ordable transportation for families in urban areas going to visit their loved ones in rural prisons for the cost of a $25 box of fresh fruits and vegetables, making farm produce accessible. During the rides, VBP organizers engage families on how they collectively address the prison industrial complex and food sovereignty, pushing folks to demand FARMS NOT PRISONS. For more information on the project, visit their website www.sweetfreedomny.com When Catskill artist Robert Hayden was incarcerated for seventeen years, he painted scenes from home, portraits of celebrities, and images of hope from life outside the prison walls. Hayden was introduced to the racism of the Jim Crow era at age six as one of a handful of African American students in a predominantly white Catholic school in the early 1950s. In his artist statement, he writes, “My biography is one of astonishment, regret and expression. Astonishment that some people could be so enticed to believe that color ranks superiority. Regret, that some can’t see that blindness is caused by one color. And expression, that the mixing of colors makes a beautiful painting with not one color more important than the others.” Hayden will exhibit his multi-colored and optimistic renderings of quotidian scenes in Catskill: the billboard below the Uncle Sam Bridge on Route 9W, a row of buildings on Main Street in the village. These are the quiet moments he appreciates as he builds a new life. Esther Cohen and Terry Schwadron of The National Writers Union’s project Unheardamerica will publish a chapbook catalogue by Robert Hayden and other formerly incarcerated people from the Twin Counties. Unheardamerica is a project to gather and tell the unheard stories of people and places around the country. In “Obstinate Bundle of Longing II”, Athens artist/fi lmmaker Margo Pelletier painted It is an extraordinarily important moment to come together in conversation and a photo from the New York Post depicting African-American revolutionary Samuel Smith learning about safety and justice in the communities we call home.
