The Greene County Council on the Arts is proud to present “Richard Talco and Carol Swierzowski: A Visual Partnership,” a double solo show of artworks by Richard Talco and Carol Swierzowski at GCCA Catskill Gallery May 10th through June 21st. An opening reception will be held May 24th from 5 to 7 p.m., 398 Main Street, Catskill, NY. Husband and wife artists Richard Talco and Carol Swierzowski have each been mak- ing work independently for decades. Their unique styles have shifted and evolved over the years, spanning many styles and media. They recently began collaborating on curat- ing shows of their work. This show, their fourth collaboration, is an examination of their non-objective work. It will feature pieces selected to present a visual metaphor of a mar- riage and working partnership. Carol Swierzowski’s non-objective paintings deal with similar themes as her fi gura- tive work. She strips the recognizable imagery down further to its essence, resulting in a balanced composition of geometric shapes. She writes, “The viewer is asked to put aside preconceived ideas of art as a medium to express realistic imagery instead of focus on pure components that make up a work, i.e. color, shape, line, texture and design.” The soft, blurred edges and swaths of color are reminiscent of Mark Rothko’s Abstract Expressionist paintings. Richard Talco is a multimedia artist who makes abstract and landscape paintings, col- Top Left:“Parallax,” Richard Talcott, Mixed Media Assemblage, lages, assemblages and boxes.

The Greene County Council on the Arts is delighted to report receipt of a grant from the Stewart’s Holiday Match program. The award of $2,250 will help support GCCA’s Youth Arts Reach programs which include “Sprouts” summer arts workshops for children ages 3 – 7; “Out- side the Lines”, GCCA’s annual youth arts exhibit on view now at the Catskill Gallery; and GCCA’s tri-county Arts Education program providing funds for artist residencies in classrooms throughout Greene, Columbia and Schoharie counties. Since 1986 Stewart’s has collected and matched donations from customers in their shops during the holiday season, from Thanksgiving until Christmas. This year the program received requests from 1,530 organizations totaling over $3 million in support. The fund distributed $1,340,459 and credits the success of the program to their customers, dedicated shop partners and media partners who spread the word about the program in the region. The Greene County Council on the Arts is very grateful to Stewart’s for their vital support of Pictured are Stewart’s manager, Rich Jewett, with his staff our programs for youth over the years.

Eight young readers followed that book to the GGCA Catskill Gallery one morning on March 26. For some, it was their fi rst visit to an art gallery! Librarian Jen Dubois read several books to the youngsters and Crystal DiRaffale painted their faces with fl air. Included was a tour of the GCCA upstairs Artful Hand Boutique. The children discovered many different pieces of art, some in unexpected places and on unexpected objects. Children took time making their very own “art envelope” and left the GCCA with postcards, posters and an Arts Alive newsletter. We hope to see more children “Follow that Book” to GCCA very soon. Thank you to Jen and Crystal for including GCCA in a terrifi c program.

THE ZADOCK PRATT MUSEUM RECLAIMS A NATIVE SON, AMERICAN IMPRESSIONIST, D. F. HASBROUCK: Carolyn Benne , Director of the Zadock Pra Museum, has uncovered another exciting fi nd buried in the Catskill Region’s rich largesse of art history in New York State. For the past ninety-seven years the small community of the Village of Stamford has been a quiet repository of steadfast devotion to the memory and artwork of the late 19th – early 20th American Impressionist, DuBois Fenelon Hasbrouck, an artist who at the height of his career received recognition from the movers and shakers of the New York art world of the so-called Gilded Age. Hasbrouck was at the height of his artistic career before slipping into an eclipse perceived seemingly everywhere except within the li le rural town of Stamford, New York, the community where the artist took up residence and painted until his death in 1917.

The Paintings, Watercolors and Drawings of D. F. HASBROUCK ~ American Impressionist

The exhibit will be on view from May 24 through October 12 and opens with an Art Talk and Reception Saturday, May 24 at 1pm.

The Two of Us Productions is well known throughout the Hudson Valley for presenting quality theater, both musicals with full orchestra and dramas. The Two Of Us Productions has called together a tightly knit ensemble of experienced area actors and musicians to bring this wonderful musical drama to the local stage. Constance Lopez, co-producer and cast as the star-crossed Fantine states that, “to be able to perform with such a talented cast and orchestra is a rare opportunity … it is very fulfi lling to work with such a co- hesive cast who truly see every role as important ”. Stephen & Constance, working with their talented vocal director Daniel Galliher, are in the midst of rehearsing their 40 person cast and 21 piece orchestra, and looking forward to their opening on June 6, which by the way is the 192nd anniversary of the Paris uprising immortalized in Les Miserables. Michael Rivenburg is the set designer and builder and Sanborn speaks highly of his artis- tic vision and ability to execute a beautiful, versatile and safe set. But then Sanborn speaks of his orchestra and you can see why The Two Of Us Productions always sets a high bar for their productions. Sanborn gathers musicians from Columbia, Berkshire, Ulster, Greene, Dutchess, Renesselaer and Albany counties to produce a sound for his productions that is like no other. Les Miserables is being presented at The Performing Arts Center at Taconic Hills Schools, lo- cated at 73 County Route 11A in Craryville NY. Performances are June 6, 7 and 8 and the follow- ing weekend of June 13, 14, and 15, 2014. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 PM and Sunday matinees are at 3 PM.
