Fridman Gallery is pleased to present Time Lapse, a group exhibition of artists living and working in the Hudson Valley. This is the second exhibition at the gallery’s Beacon location.

Time Lapse looks at memory as a parallel dimension, in which it is possible for objects, events, and stories to travel through temporal and physical spaces, to a setting where they are perceived in a different light. The artists in Time Lapse recontextualize and reimagine relationships among materials, beings, and environments, elucidating the liminal threshold between the existence of a thing and its perception.

The 14th annual Hudson Valley Artists exhibition, is curated by Helen Toomer. Artists were invited to submit artwork that deals with the challenges of the past year and the re-imaginings of years to come, responding to the question “Who really cares?” asked by Marvin Gaye fifty years ago on the monumental album, “What’s Going On.” 27 artists were chosen from over 385 submissions. Who Really Cares?  promises to be a great exhibition that showcases the diverse and dynamic art practices of emerging and mid-career artists in the Hudson Valley.

Sunrise Sunset features work by 46 artists and runs from May 15-August 30, 2021. The show is in the airport’s new redeveloped pre-security Gallery and in the post-security Concourse A Gallery.

In the spirit of the Hudson River School of art tradition, the HVAA Annual Exhibition jurors will showcase original representational images that display aesthetic appeal and technical skill.

Up Close and Personal invites you to engage with the age-old notion of getting up close and personal. The exhibition will feature a diverse array of media, including ceramics, digital media, film, graphic art, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, video and installation art. Up Close and Personal will be exhibited at The Trolley Barn in Poughkeepsie, an industrial gallery space and is the hub for the area’s thriving arts scene.

This Spring we will be presenting a select group of 24 recognized Hudson Valley artists who will be stationed along the Testimonial Gateway Trailhead and along the Pin Oak Allee, located at 35 Route 299 near Gatehouse Road. This trail features the historic Testimonial Gateway Tower, circa 1907, which served as the entrance to the Mohonk Mountain House until 1945. Wide views which include Humpo Marsh, an important wildlife area, historic farms and fields along the Ridge and segments of the Preserve’s carriage road system are inspiring to artists and visitors alike.

Each artist will create one or more works in the medium of their choice, on site in plein air. The theme is nature and the outdoors. The process and finished artworks will be photographed throughout the day and will be included in an online auction through Mohonk Preserve’s online auction platform

INTERIORS can mean various things to different people. It can be a representational viewpoint from inside a home, workplace, studio or cafe - often it can have a nostalgic sensibility or invoke a feeling of security. A person might identify with a place of worship, or even a forest, to express their internal self. Internalized feelings and emotions may resonate within an artwork. How would you express the concept of interior?

Time: the continuum of experience in which events pass from future to present to past. How does one experience TIME? A particular occasion, a good time, a bad time, history, events of the day, visionary future, an instance of something happening or being done, mark making, measuring, movement… Interpretations are only limited by your vision of the theme “TIME”

Carl Grauer Pays Tribute to 50th Anniversary of Stonewall Rebellion with New Exhibit

Fine artist Carl Grauer’s upcoming exhibit entitled “The Lavender Temple of Their Most Fabulous” opens at Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, New York on Wednesday, June 12th.

Envisioned as a tribute to the Stonewall Rebellion that occurred in New York City in 1969, the show features portraits of 15 figures who have impacted the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

The intention of this exhibit is at once celebratory and educational; serving as an acknowledgement of the pivotal events that emboldened the gay rights movement in the United States, while also highlighting other important figures who have contributed to LGBTQ+ visibility and equality before or since the events of June 1969.

A new series of paintings celebrate and ‘sanctify’ these torchbearers through works that reference religious iconography to spark a conversation surrounding art history, LGBTQ+
history and cultural responses.

Showing as well, Carrie Haddad Gallery is pleased to present Mortals, Saints & Myths, an exhibit that explores the idolized and idealized figures that preoccupy our realities- both real and imagined. This special group of Hudson Valley artists are best known for their representation of the figure via painting, photography and installation. Featured artists include Mark Beard, Carl Grauer, Juan Garcia-Nunez, Kahn & Selesnick, John T. Unger, and David Sokosh. On view June 12 – July 28 with a reception for the artists on Saturday, June 15th from 5-7pm. All are welcome to join us!

A two day self guided tour of local artist's studios, art exhibits, and activities in the historic neighborhoods of Poughkeepsie, NY the weekend of June 16-17, 2018.

This is an opportunity to interact personally with artists who live, work, or teach in our area, and to find out more about their inspirations, their creative processes, and the types of media they employ. While in the area, take time to experience the rich history and the broad cultural diversity of our community.

For over twenty-seven years, Carrie Haddad Gallery has prided itself on exhibiting some of the finest artworks in the Hudson Valley, from breathtaking Hudson River School-style landscapes to intense and unforgettable abstract-expressionist works. Now, it’s time for something a little different.

“Peculiar Rarities”, an exhibition set to run from March 7 to April 22, with an opening reception on March 10 from 5 – 7 p.m., is exactly what it sounds like. The exhibition will include media from porcelain to Play-Doh, and subject matter that includes icebergs, Victorian steampunk characters, conniving housewives, and Judy Garland. From the moment you walk through the door, each space will house its own experience: here, spectral and Seuss-like; there, off-kilter and gritty, all of it richly blending beauty with provocation.

Frequent visitors to the gallery are likely to recognize many familiar names, such as David Halliday and Donise English, but may be surprised to find that these artists don’t stray far from their tried-and-true techniques. Halliday creates quirky variations on his characteristic still-life photographs, while English brings the unpretentious motifs and palettes of her usual work into the third dimension. Fans of each artist will delight in these odd treasures, which serve as proof that talent transcends tradition.

In addition to Halliday and English, exhibited artists will include Juan Garcia Nunez, Russell DeYoung, Nick Simpson, Newbold Bohemia, Leon Smith, Paul Katz, Andrea Moreau, Fernando Orellana, Carl Grauer, David Dew Bruner, Robert Gulley, and Frank Litto.

This Spring, Point Gallery of Denver, Colorado will be hosting Carl Grauer's first solo show.  Recollections, a series that plays with the tension between memories, the “return to home”, and the actual experienced past, is an idea that I explore through the renderings of the family unit.  With source imagery of found slides and photos of people he finds at flea markets, secondhand stores or from friends or his own family’s collection, Grauer changes elements to signify specific moments that could be seen as memories, remembered or forgotten.  He aims to represent nostalgic scenes that may relay a tension, sorrow or humor that could be constructed memories or actual experienced events.

What does it mean to be a woman in the twenty-first century? How are we representing the realities of contemporary women’s lives and issues? How are we engaging with historic ideas of femininity? The media would have us believe that gender is more fluid than ever, but does this fluidity—at least as it plays out in the mainstream media—actually represent a real challenge to stereotypical gender norms that many feel hemmed in by? Feminists have increasingly grappled with the ways that intersectional identity complicates notions of femininity, inflecting the way in which women continue to fight to make diverse voices heard. This exhibition presents artworks that engage with these questions and seek to explore diverse ways of being a woman in the twenty-first century. Participating artists include: Allison Baker, Margarita Correia, Barbara Lekus, Jesse Harrod, Laura Kaufman, Khanh Le, Spooky Boobs Collective, Sidney Mullis, Cigdem Slankard, Malena Barnhart, Eunsu Kang, Carl Grauer, Veronica Casado, Lara Nguyen, Ayana Evans. More to be announced!

Carl Grauer has been selected as one of the finalists for the WAC 2015 Open Call Exhibition. The WAC Awards is an open competition for contemporary visual art that is gaining praise and respect in Britain and abroad. It was established only four years ago by a group of artists and their friends in Wells, the cathedral city in South-West England. But a notion that came to life around kitchen and dining tables has already established a strong presence in the London artworld and is drawing artists from places as diverse as Australia, Azerbaijan, India, Italy, Korea, Japan and the United States, as well as all over Britain. The most cited reasons for this rapid success are the quality of the artists who enter, the prestige of the judges and the attraction of the prizes.
