The long-term exposure to one another’s work has revealed threads of influence in each artist’s choices and inspirations\, even as each individual’s practice remains unique and intact. \n\n \nThe studio is like a living entity\, fed by and sustaining its members\, and somehow more than the sum of its parts. Cross Pollination was first explored as an exhibit at the Donald Gallery and now as an Artist Conversation with RiverArts\, we invite you to explore the creative ecosystem and why artmaking within community may be the best thing an artist can do for themselves and their work.\n \n \n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n\nAlison Cimmet draws upon collage and painting techniques to create expressive mixed-media works full of texture and vibrant color.\n \nRaine Gifford‘s acrylic and watercolor paintings and mosaics investigate patterns of light\, color\, and negative space found within nature.\n \nMarisa Gonzales Silverstein crafts paper sculptures combining geometry and repetition in rhythmic patterns to reveal a contemplative understanding of significant data points.\n\nAlison Mara employs the use of tiny glass beads\, meditatively and painstakingly placed\, to create swirling patterns reflecting designs and textures found in nature. \nJen Moore Smith‘s practice encompasses painting and assemblage to reflect on the power of memory as it shapes landscape and natural elements. \n\n \n Purchase Tickets URL:https://riverarts.org/event/cross-pollination/ LOCATION:Ted and Nune Studio\, 45 Main Street\, Store B\, Hastings-On-Hudson\, 10706 CATEGORIES:Art,Artist Conversation,In-person,Readings and Conversations ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://riverarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/artist-convo-march-2-crop.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="RiverArts":MAILTO:info@riverarts.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250305T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250305T213000 DTSTAMP:20260425T095405 CREATED:20241210T175521Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250122T151010Z UID:13749-1741203000-1741210200@riverarts.org SUMMARY:Drink & Draw DESCRIPTION:Hastings Public LibraryOrr Room\, Lower level 7 Maple AvenueHastings-on-Hudson \nAdmission: $20 Register in advance.

The Double Cello Quintets\, scored for two violins\, viola\, and two cellos\, provide a rich\, fuller sound than traditional string quartets. The Brahms is the same piece we heard in November as the Piano Quintet in f minor\, its more familiar scoring. But Brahms; first version of the piece was as a double cello quintet\, recently completed by Terry King. This concert will be a rare opportunity to hear the piece as Brahms first conceived it\, as well as Schubert’s astounding masterpiece scored for the same group of instruments. \nRiverArts’ Chamber Music Series under the artistic direction of cellist Peter Seidenberg has developed a reputation for its varied programming of 19th and 20th century touchstones of the chamber music repertory\, alongside contemporary compositions including several commissions\, performed by a varied roster of extraordinary musicians. For this concert he will be joined by violinists Laura Bossert and Fritz Gearhart\, violist Sarah Adams\, and cellist Elizabeth Anderson. \nAbout the ArtistsLaura Bossert [violin] was a Silver Medalist in the Henryk Szeryng International Violin Competition. She has earned recognition for her artistry as a soloist\, chamber musician\, and pedagogue\, is on the faculty of Wellesley College\, the Longy School of Music\, and in the summer months\, The Quartet Program and LyricaFest. Ms. Bossert has appeared in collaboration with Elmar Oliveira\, Joseph Silverstein\, Paul Neubauer\, Kim Kashkashian\, and with ensembles such as the Muir and Lark String Quartets\, Amelia\, Raphael and Mirecourt Piano Trios.

He is heard frequently on National Public Radio\, including live broadcasts on WFMT Chicago\, WQXR in New York\, KQAC in Portland Oregon\,  as well as Public Radio’s nationally syndicated program Performance Today. A sampling from the press: “…a sizzling performance…”(The Wall Street Journal)\,  “…supple and imaginative…”(The New York Times)\, “…a superlative evening of musicmaking…”(New York Concert Review)\, and “Gearhart is a bold assertive player…”(Strad). Gearhart taught at the university level for most of his career\, including appointments at University of Colorado Boulder\, University of Oregon\, East Carolina University and Indiana University at South Bend. In addition to his many performing and teaching activities\, Gearhart has also appeared as a guest conductor at several string festivals around the country\, \nSarah Adams [viola] performs widely in the New York area with ensembles including the New York Chamber Ensemble\, American Ballet Theatre\, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra\, the American Symphony Orchestra\, and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s.

Artists of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome\, especially those that have always wanted to try their hand.  \nIn this non-instructional event\, we aim to create a relaxing\, social and inclusive environment for the community to come together for a fun night of drawing.  After some mingling with fellow guests\, participants will have an opportunity to capture the human body in poses of different lengths\, with breaks for refreshments in between.   \nThere’s wine\, crackers\, cheese and cookies to enjoy\, and our host curates a playlist to keep your energy flowing.  The evening lasts about 2 hours\, and participants leave with a collection of their new works… and maybe some new friends too. \nRiverArts is proud to be able to provide this unique opportunity right here in our Rivertowns\, an opportunity which is often only accessible to art students or by traveling into New York City\, with a significant investment of time and tuition. Drink & Draw offers a perfect entry-level for the amateur artist\, and we have seen beginners improve significantly as their skills develop in subsequent sessions and they draw on their experience and learn from others.   \nModel provided. Please bring your own art supplies and arrive on time. Must be over 18 to attend. Wine for those 21+ \nFOR MORE INFORMATION EMAIL: jriesman@riverarts.org \n*If you are having issues registering from mobile please try from a desktop or use this link. \n#DrinkAndDraw \n \n Register for Drink & Draw here URL:https://riverarts.org/event/drink-draw-may13/ LOCATION:Hastings Public Library\, Orr Room\, Lower Level\, 7 Maple Avenue\, Hastings-on-Hudson\, NY\, 10706\, United States CATEGORIES:Art,Figure Drawing,In-person ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://riverarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Drink_Draw_Fall24.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="RiverArts":MAILTO:info@riverarts.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
