Discussion on the future of Visitor Engagement at Eleanor Roosevelt NHS
Monday, November 15, 2021 • 1:30pm and 6pm • Please join the National Park Service in a community discussion on the future visitor engagement. Park leadership is interested in gathering a think tank of curious, diverse, innovative, and motivated stakeholders to help identify new possibilities for the future of the park. How might we inspire visitors with Eleanor’s legacy? What stories should we explore to connect with new audiences? How might we create a safe space for exploring the complexity of human rights? An interactive discussion will help the park develop a road map for moving forward and engaging communities in new ways • Free • https://www.eventbrite.com/e/discussion-on-the-future-of-visitor-engagement-at-eleanor-roosevelt-nhs-tickets-193819879477?ref=eios

George Spencer - “Cleaning Out the Attic”
On view through November 29, 2021 • Free • Window On Hudson, Hudson • Come celebrate George Spencer and his ambitious exhibition, “Cleaning out the Attic” on Saturday, November 13th, from 6-8pm. Spencer reached deep into his archives and came out with a multitude of paintings which he reworked into a series of totems and wall hangings. The work fills the storefront windows and spills into the gallery space, covering the walls, floor and ceiling in a chaotic cacophony of bright colors and abstract forms.   “Cleaning out the Attic” gave Spencer the opportunity to create bold, new work and at the same time offer retrospection on his years of painting and sculpting. By cutting his canvases into pieces and then collaging the fragments onto cardboard tubes, sheets of lumber, or rolls of tar paper Spencer is mirroring what he sees as the recent dismantling and decay of society. • http://www.windowonhudson.org.

Second Saturday Hudson Gallery Crawl
Every second Saturday of the month • Free • Events will be taking place from Basilica Hudson and Henry Hudson Riverfront Park up to 7th Street Park and the newly renovated Park Theatre. • The gallerists, retail shops, and restaurants of Hudson, have joined together to launch an ongoing, citywide gallery crawl. Beginning June 12, 2021 and taking place every second Saturday of the month, the businesses on and off Warren Street will be staying open late (until 9pm).  Outside of the shops, visitors will find pop-up galleries, markets, buskers, concerts, food trucks, and community activated art programing •  http://www.hudsongallerycrawl.com

Richard Haas: Circles in Space
On view through January 9, 2022 • Hudson River Museum, 511 Warburton Ave., Yonkers • Exhibition explores the intersections between abstraction, color theory and the geometry of the universe • hrm.org/richard-haas

“WinterOver?”
On view through Spring 2022 • Time & Space, Ltd. 434 Columbia Street, Hudson • Featuring the sculpture of Pamela Blum, Jeremy K. Bullis, Nurya Chana, Dan Devine, Mimi Graminski, Chiarra Hughes-Mba, Linda Mussmann, Gelah Penn, and Katharine Umsted. George Spencer, the curator of “WinterOver?”, asked the artists to produce outdoor sculptures that will deteriorate over time. With the pieces standing in the yard of TSL for 6 months they will be exposed to nature’s extreme elements. Heat, wind, rain, snow, insects, mold, and mushrooms will cause the work to bend, crack, warp, fade and dissolve. Spencer uses this deterioration as a metaphor for the destructive changes (like the attempt to overturn the 2020 election, the countless unnecessary deaths resulting from the incompetent response to COVID-19, the attack on the Capitol, and so much more) occurring in the world around us. In the early Spring of 2022 the artists will be asked to revisit their work and assess the damage done during the Winter months. Is their sculpture still standing; do only fragments remain; it is disfigured but still recognizable? (Much like the questions Spencer asks about our Country.) What then is the individual artist’s response to these changes? Do they rebuild; build something new; make repairs; or leave things as they are? (These are the questions we must constantly ask ourselves about life.) • http://timeandspace.org/
