Art on Warren Street, Hudson, NY - by Gretchen Kelly

3Fortyseven on Warren St. in Hudson is where I have installed a selection of One Minute Poses in the back of this new stylish shop. I will be there for a few hours each day so stop by and view the ART! I will also be selling prints, note cards and other very affordable originals. Even though the main event of Artswalk -the group show which is  always in HUDSON, is not here this year (it's in Chatham!?) you can still see a very high level of Art in windows and in the shops on Warren Street.

 

"Silver-lined Tornado" - my corrugated creation for Kosa on Warren Street this year....see other beautiful creations by other Artists in the other window. So love that Cora featured mine in a window by itself!

Find the hidden Art in these windows at Swallow coffee shop on Warren St....I have pastel landscapes and I am pleased to be sharing the window with the prolific Earl of Hudson!!!

Art Opening at Basilica - Artist Arthur Price

Here is a walk around in the Basilica space looking at one of the best shows I have ever seen. The work is by Arthur Price, an Artist from Alabma. You can see more of this work on his website: www.priceartcompany.com
Click on the pics to see close up details-

I have gone back several times to wander through the cavernous space looking at these works. On his website in the slideshow, you can see some photos of him in his studio working. You might think that he has a large studio space to work on the scale but it's not as big as you might envision it to be. See some more photos below of the paintings.

Tilly Strauss on the right was one of the curators who put me in the show. (Bibiana on the left)

Below is Kate Vrijmoet who poses in front of one of her portraits. Many of these crowd photos from the exhibit are via her website. Check it out for many more pics of the event...


There is lots more to see at Kate's website. The show is over now. It took me a long time to get this post up but I wanted to make sure I covered it, as it was an important show that I was in.

Re-cycling for Art Show at Hudson Opera House

For the past month at the Opera House in Hudson, NY there was a wonderful class that was given by Artist, Bruno Pasquier-Desvignes -FREE! - 3 days each week. All the Art was created from recycled stuff.


Lots of corrugated cardboard boxes, plastic containers, bags and caps, lids, tubes, wires + fabrics along with paints +hot glue. Mystical animals, people from other realms, wild creations formed from the imagination's of children and adults together taking the classes.

This class is intended to unite the various ages and cultures in our community, while playing as children do when making Art. Playing is often a neccessary part in the creation of Art. I know that is what happens when I do it and with wild childlike abandon, I created a Night Owl wall hanging- seen above.






This "gorilla" show was superimposed on another great show of work by Artist, Jack Millard. The two shows blended well. The animal menagerie of sculptures was up for only a coupla days over the weekend and it's being dismantled quickly as the Artists are coming by to pick up their works piece by piece.



Bruno is here every summer creating in the Opera House spaces with the community according to what I heard. I will surely be back next year to partake again - it was one of the best classes I have ever attended. Thanks Bruno!
