The Tremaine Gallery at Hotchkiss presents Field Notes, an exhibition of works by contemporary artist Eve Biddle, curated by Terri Moore.

Drawing on the symbolism of snakes as signs of life and fertility and referencing archaeological artifacts across time, Biddle's work explores the ways memory, perception, and presence transform our understanding of the natural world. Her images follow a meandering path, reminding us that neither history nor our own lives move in straight lines. Nature appears ambiguously alive or dead, abstracted and literal at once.

Rather than documenting a specific place, Biddle reshapes the landscape genre through layering, translation, and physical intervention. The resulting works invite viewers to consider the connections between nature, memory, time, and transformation.

Have you been wanting to make zines, but not sure where to start? Then this intro class in zine making might be for you!

Zines are a fun and fast way to collect your thoughts, images and interests into a physical object you can trade, gift or sell. It doesn't take much to make a great zine, but knowing a few tricks can certainly make it easier. Over the course of three evenings you will learn simple and inventive methods for zine making, for instance the many methods for one page zines, as well as receive support in designing, writing and/or drawing your zine. Rakel will also be bringing her private zine collection for students to leaf through for inspiration, and will be sharing about her experience with DIY publishing in Europe and North America.

All materials are provided.

Archtober Newburgh is an annual, month long, all-free celebration of one of the Hudson Valley's most remarkable built environments, and the people keeping it alive.

As the second-largest historic district in New York State, the birthplace of the historic preservation movement, and the home of the first publicly owned historic site in the United States, George Washington's Headquarters, Newburgh is the ideal place to celebrate architectural heritage, connect people to resources, champion local initiatives, and imagine what's next for the city. Each October, Archtober Newburgh does exactly that with 50+ free events, including walks, talks, tours, workshops, and gatherings for both locals and visitors.

The annual tour takes place over two weekends, October 17–18 and October 24–25, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day, during one of the most beautiful times of the year in the Hudson Valley.
This year's tour features 19 participating artists at 11 studio locations (with several artists sharing studio or gallery spaces). Visitors will discover an exciting variety of artwork spanning a wide range of media and styles, including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, assemblage, woodworking, fiber arts, and pottery.

Light and Transient Causes
In the 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence, this exhibition takes its name from a line in the document that suggests that some grievances may prove too fleeting to justify revolution—and considers asymmetries of perception of what is deemed light enough to ignore, transient enough to postpone. Curated by Marisa Espe.

Our fall season at Union College begins with a special collaboration by an American new music icon and the MacArthur-winning composer and jazz pianist. The dynamic duo performs solo works with the NY premiere of our co-commission reflecting upon peoples’ lives today.
