This lets me see not only how far I’ve co me\, but how some things haven’t changed much at all. The technique used in the older black & white pieces is “woodcut collage” printed by han d on Japanese paper. Interim works combine woodcut collage with acrylic pa int on canvas. The newest works are digital photo collage\, either on pape r or canvas. \nTHEN \\ NOW focuses on relationships—with the individual self & with family members—being a wife\, mother\, sister\, daughter\, cousin—& the struggle to maintain that individual spirit within\, as out er needs from others become more complex. This exhibit is about finding & expressing Self-Love\, celebrating creativity from that deep meditative we llspring found inside each of us. Thank you one & all for hearing me out & seeing these pieces of myself needing to be revealed. \nGALLERY HOURS\nMo nday – Friday 10AM-4PM \nAbout Jan Smith Castronuovo\nJan earned two mas ter’s degrees from the University of Wisconsin—an MS in Industrial Tec hnology\, UW/Platteville (1980)\; & an MFA in Printmaking\, UW/Madison (19 86).

The intent is to reflect where\neach artist is in their practice at this parti cular moment. These pieces come from current series\, ongoing explorations \, new directions\, and ideas still unfolding. What happens when we enter our studios? What are we thinking about\, experimenting with\, returning t o\, or trying for\nthe first time? What is inspiring us now? By opening ou r doors\, we invite visitors in. Together\, these works offer a snapshot o f the artists who are creating at Bethany today. These individual practice s are brought together by a shared place\, creative energy\, and community . \nAlso join us in viewing our collaborative installation! This installat ion celebrates the beauty of being different while still being\ntogether. Fifty 5 × 5-inch wooden panels were donated and distributed to artists in our community. The only requirement was simple: make sure it is in your v oice and create something that is uniquely you. Displayed together\, these individual works become one collective\nartwork. It is a moment in time t hat captures who is here now and what each person brings to this community . There is something special about the way we show up at Bethany for ourse lves\, for our work\, and for one another. This installation is a celebrat ion of that shared experience and of the many different creative voices th at make this place what it is.

Squillante hopes th e exhibition allows viewers to stop and look slowly\, feel the landscape ’s quiet architecture\, and enter a shared act of seeing.\nBrown takes t he process of making work as his sculptural focus\, rather than beginning with an image or narrative. His pieces are coiled\, paddled\, cut\, and wo od fired. After completion\, the array on view here reminded Brown of the Carrara marble quarries photographed by Edward Burtynsky.\nJoseph Squillan te has photographed the Hudson River since 1975 in fine-art and documentar y style\, capturing the river’s beauty\, challenges\, and champions whil e raising public awareness for the river as a critical natural resource. I n 2026 ArtsWestchester honored Squillante with its Artist of the Year awar d and in 2025 the Hudson River Museum celebrated his 50-year milestone wit h the retrospective exhibition Lens on the Hudson.\nJoel Brown’s ceramic design is rooted in his study with Stanislawa Nowicki at the University o f Pennsylvania over 50 years ago. His undergraduate degree was followed by a master's in architecture from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. For his ceramic influences he credits the Peters Valley School of Craft\, workshops with Peter Callas and Joyce Michaud\, and Steven Hill ’s Journey Workshop. He gained wood-firing experience at the kilns of Ro ger Baumann\, Dan Greenfeld\, Kristin Muller\, Peters Valley\, and others.

Visit the sho p at 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, NY Monday through Saturday from Sept ember 15 through October 17 to view and purchase the work including mugs\, plates\, and tableware. The work will also be available online.\nArtist B io\nBreana Ferreira (she/her) was born and raised in Southern California a nd received her BFA in Ceramics in the Spring of 2022 from the University of North Texas. Her process integrates traditional ceramic practices with the two-dimensional arts to develop personal and cultural narrative throug h sculpted still-lifes and utilitarian form. She has worked as an educator and Resident Artist in association with a variety of arts organizations a nd crafts schools within the United States and was recently selected as on e of Ceramic Monthly’s 2026 Emerging Artists. Breana is currently making and working amongst the Beartooth Mountains of Red Lodge\, MT in associat ion with the Red Lodge Clay Center as their new Programs Coordinator.\nArt ist Statement\nBreana’s practice fixates on ceramics as active participa nts in routine and ritual\, as conduits for introspection\, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. She reflects most on the intimacy of utilitarian objects\, the crooked charm of the handbuilt form\, and the p reservation of perfect imperfection where the hand disrupts and distorts. Through the celebratory practice of adornment\, Breana embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture\, color\, and imagery\, ut ilizing pattern\, print\, and iconography in dialogue with form. Sculpted still-life and vessel alike\, her objects embody personal reflections on m emory\, identity\, and space influenced most by her multicultural roots an d the landscapes she calls home.Learn more: https://www.clayartcenter.org/ events-at-clayartcenter/2026/6/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-artist-bre ana-ferreira LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T182341Z LOCATION:Clay Art Center\, 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, New York\, 105 73\, United States URL:https://artswestchester.org/events/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-ar tist-breana-ferreira/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign= white-plains-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Virtual Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://artswestchester.org/programs/jazzfest-whiteplains END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:What’s It Like for You to Be an American? — Robert Kalman DTSTART:20260917T150000Z DTEND:20260917T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260910T120050Z UID:206463@artswestchester.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\nPhotographs by Ro bert KalmanSeptember 15 – October 11\, 2026\nChroma Fine Art Gallery is pleased to present What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\, a solo ex hibition by photographer Robert Kalman\, on view September 15 through Octo ber 11\, 2026.\nFollowing the events of January 6\, 2021\, Kalman began tr aveling across the country asking people a seemingly simple question: “W hat’s it like for you to be an American?” Each participant sat for a f ormal portrait made with an 8×10 large-format camera and was invited to w rite their answer on a single notebook page.\nTraveling approximately 20\, 000 miles across the country\, Kalman made nearly 500 portraits.

Guest Curated by Artist-in-Residence Alvaro Vi lla\, Breana’s work features multi-layered and textured surfaces\, with colorful motifs and imagery that shape a personal narrative. Visit the sho p at 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, NY Monday through Saturday from Sept ember 15 through October 17 to view and purchase the work including mugs\, plates\, and tableware. The work will also be available online.\nArtist B io\nBreana Ferreira (she/her) was born and raised in Southern California a nd received her BFA in Ceramics in the Spring of 2022 from the University of North Texas. Her process integrates traditional ceramic practices with the two-dimensional arts to develop personal and cultural narrative throug h sculpted still-lifes and utilitarian form. She has worked as an educator and Resident Artist in association with a variety of arts organizations a nd crafts schools within the United States and was recently selected as on e of Ceramic Monthly’s 2026 Emerging Artists. Breana is currently making and working amongst the Beartooth Mountains of Red Lodge\, MT in associat ion with the Red Lodge Clay Center as their new Programs Coordinator.\nArt ist Statement\nBreana’s practice fixates on ceramics as active participa nts in routine and ritual\, as conduits for introspection\, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. She reflects most on the intimacy of utilitarian objects\, the crooked charm of the handbuilt form\, and the p reservation of perfect imperfection where the hand disrupts and distorts. Through the celebratory practice of adornment\, Breana embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture\, color\, and imagery\, ut ilizing pattern\, print\, and iconography in dialogue with form. Sculpted still-life and vessel alike\, her objects embody personal reflections on m emory\, identity\, and space influenced most by her multicultural roots an d the landscapes she calls home.Learn more: https://www.clayartcenter.org/ events-at-clayartcenter/2026/6/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-artist-bre ana-ferreira LAST-MODIFIED:20260910T002651Z LOCATION:Clay Art Center\, 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, New York\, 105 73\, United States URL:https://artswestchester.org/events/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-ar tist-breana-ferreira/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign= white-plains-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Virtual Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://artswestchester.org/programs/jazzfest-whiteplains END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:What’s It Like for You to Be an American? — Robert Kalman DTSTART:20260920T150000Z DTEND:20260920T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260910T120050Z UID:206466@artswestchester.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\nPhotographs by Ro bert KalmanSeptember 15 – October 11\, 2026\nChroma Fine Art Gallery is pleased to present What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\, a solo ex hibition by photographer Robert Kalman\, on view September 15 through Octo ber 11\, 2026.\nFollowing the events of January 6\, 2021\, Kalman began tr aveling across the country asking people a seemingly simple question: “W hat’s it like for you to be an American?” Each participant sat for a f ormal portrait made with an 8×10 large-format camera and was invited to w rite their answer on a single notebook page.\nTraveling approximately 20\, 000 miles across the country\, Kalman made nearly 500 portraits.

Executing public art well requires understanding how itworks\, what the standards of practice a re\, and the range of approaches available —from murals and sculptures t o artist residencies and creative placemaking. This half-dayevent will ins pire attendees with work happening in and around Westchester\, explorehow public art supports economic and community development\, and connect agenc ieswith peers doing similar work in the region. It is designed for both pu blic and privateagencies with experience in public art as well as those lo oking to incorporate it intoupcoming projects.\n\n\n\nPresentation Topics: \n\n\n\nWhat's Possible: Types of Artworks and ProgramsPublic art is far b roader than a sculpture in a plaza. This session surveys the range of what public art can be—from permanent installations and integrated architectu ral works to temporaryprojects. Participants will gain a working vocabular y for the field and a clearer sense of whichapproaches best fit their goal s\, sites\, budgets\, and communities.\n\n\n\nWho Does the Work: Decision- Making and ProcessesSuccessful public art begins with clear roles and a de fined process. This session introduces theframeworks that guide who makes decisions—from selecting artists to approving designs—andhow to struct ure a process that is transparent\, equitable\, and accountable. Participa nts willlearn how governments and developers can establish review panels\, involve community voices\,and set policies that keep projects moving whil e protecting the integrity of artistic and publicinterests.\n\n\n\nBeginni ng with the End in Mind: Preservation and Long-Term PlanningA public artwo rk's life extends far beyond its installation. This session addresses theo ften-overlooked responsibilities of stewardship: maintenance\, conservatio n\, funding forlong-term care\, and planning for a work's eventual repair\ , relocation\, or retirement. Participantswill learn why these considerati ons belong at the start of a project — not the end — and howthoughtful planning protects both the investment and the public's trust\n\n\n\nHoste d by ArtsWestchester LAST-MODIFIED:20260811T020054Z LOCATION:ArtsWestchester\, 31 Mamaroneck Ave\, White Plains\, NY\, 10601\, United States URL:https://artswestchester.org/events/public-art-in-practice-for-westches ter-county/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=white-plai ns-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Virtual Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://artswestchester.org/programs/jazzfest-whiteplains END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Hispanic Heritage Month Featured Artist: Breana Ferreira DTSTART:20260923T140000Z DTEND:20260923T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260821T062211Z UID:205375@artswestchester.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:Clay Art Center Shop is pleased to present a selection of func tional handmade ceramics by guest featured artist Breana Ferreira througho ut Hispanic Heritage Month.
