Events

The theme of this first meetup will be What Inspires You and the format will be Show & Tell. We ask that you SHOW us something that INSPIRES you (think art book, an image on your phone, an artwork, etc.) and TELL us one idea you would hope we can facilitate through the Art Club (field trip destination, talk topic, workshop idea, etc.). This will help us all get to know one another, what lights us up and where we hope to go on this creative journey together. 

Let's hit the road and check out Storm King Art Center together!

Please plan to arrive at Storm King by 9:45am. You can meet Rebecca Rivard and Tricia Caracappa at the Outdoor Cafe at 10am. Parking in the North Parking lot is the most convenient to this meeting point.

Storm King Art Center is a 500-acre outdoor museum located in New York’s Hudson Valley, where visitors experience large-scale sculpture and site-specific commissions under open sky. Since 1960, Storm King has been dedicated to stewarding the hills, meadows, and forests of its site and surrounding landscape. Building on the visionary thinking of its founders, Storm King supports artists and some of their most ambitious works. Changing exhibitions, programming, and seasons offer discoveries with every visit.

Join us for this unique opportunity - to have your portrait painted by local Artist Jessica Miller.

Each 7 x 5 inch expressionist portrait will capture the subject’s likeness and mood, painted in one half-hour sitting.

All are welcome to sit for a portrait, including children accompanied by an adult.

Each portrait is $250.

There will be 6 portrait sessions.

Join us for an immersive experience crafted to equip you with the knowledge and resources necessary to leverage AI effectively. We want to share our knowledge and empower you with the tools to implement this transformative technology, regardless of the size of your team.

Join us to hear from the Artist about the inspiration and process behind her paintings in What It Leaves.

Artist Statement

My work investigates memory and perception through colorful abstract paintings. My inspiration stems from observations of time spent surrounded by nature in local landscapes, contemplating the complexity that surrounds us, moments I value as an active part of my creative process. Each painting is a reflection of my interest in exploring the intricate connections between humans and the natural world. Trying to create the feeling of being immersed in nature, each work encourages the viewer to look deeply and actively participate. Through layers of paint, texture and movement, I depict the moments that linger and the energy that is left behind. My work invites the viewer to contemplate their own relationship with the natural world and consider their role in creating a more harmonious and sustainable future.

Join us on Thursday October 12 at 6pm for a fun evening of catching up with friends and meeting new women in our community.

This is a potluck-style event! Please bring a favorite dish or sweet treat to share.

Yellow Studio will provide wine and non-alcoholic beverages.

This is also an excellent opportunity to see Courtney Alan Rossy's What It Leaves before it closes the following day on October 13 and a time you can tour Yellow Studio if you haven’t visited yet.

This is a free event. Please RSVP.

Join us on Saturday October 21 from 4 to 6pm to celebrate Tricia Caracappa and view the paintings in her solo exhibition, Possibilities.

"Intersecting brushstrokes and colors reflect my energy. Open to wonder, I allow my curiosity to take me on an adventure where I find freedom in the abstract and inspiration in the everyday." Tricia Caracappa

Our first event on October 26th at 7:30pm is all about INTRODUCTIONS. Something we like to call The Get Curious Experience where we move beyond some of the standard, boring questions of an introduction and start to normalize the questions that might actually let us know who we're really talking to... and give us the opportunity to be ourselves.

Our first club outing will be to Grace Farms on Saturday October 28 (rescheduled from October 7) at 10am. Join us as we explore Grace Farms and its sprawling 80 acres of natural landscape, native perennials, and multiple diverse habitats.

Autumn has always been an inspiration to Artists. 

So let’s have our next Art Club gathering on November 1 at the Hammond Museum & Japanese Stroll Garden where we can also take in Driven to Abstraction: A Group Exhibition.
