“In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans.” - Kahlil Gibran

Through this series of monotypes, I explore water as a substance, its metaphoric allusion, and the collective narrative that addresses mankind's complicated relationship to this essential natural resource.

“What is your Abstract? It can be colorful or neutral tones, complicated or simple lines, bold or subdued and everything in between. What does Abstract Art mean to you? Can something that is abstract reference anything at all (landscape, human etc.) or does it need to be completely unrecognizable, referencing nothing but itself?”

Through this open call, we sought work that challenges, redefines, or reaffirms the boundaries of abstraction. Each piece on display reflects an individual response to this question, offering a personal interpretation of what it means to make abstract art today.

Abstract Back at Ya is a juried abstract group exhibition at The Sketchbook Gallery on view from Nov 8 - Dec 13, 2025. Gallery Hours are 12-5pm on Thursdays/Sundays and 12-6pm on Fridays/Saturdays. The Opening Reception will take place on Sat, Nov 8 from 3-6pm and it is part of the Saugerties Art Walk.

The Gilbert Players are back with Nuncrackers: The Nunsense Christmas Musical! Nuncrackers is the first TV special taped by the Little Sisters of Hoboken in their convent basement studio for Cable Access. It stars the nuns you love, plus Father Virgil and some of Mount Saint Helen’s most talented students. This show is filled with wacky Nunsense humor, some of your favorite carols, a “Secret Santa,” and an uproarious take on Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet. Certain to tickle your funny bone and likely to tug at your heartstrings, Nuncrackers is the perfect way to make your holiday season merry and bright!
