The Village Revealed: Two Lenses, One Vision
The exhibition and series of special events highlight the photographic works of Communications Village artists Ben Wigfall & Sharon VanDyke. The images, restored by Michael Torres of Soul Reflections Art & Photography Collective, beautifully capture the Black community of 1970s Kingston. Ben Wigfall’s work will be on view at The Gallery @ 107 and Sharon VanDyke’s imagery will be on view at Good Works Institute through the month of February. This programming is sponsored by Soul Reflections Art & Photography Collective, Good Work Institute and TRANSART.

A Sense of Place: The New Hudson River Valley School is the opening exhibition in the gallery of a restored historic house centered in a once neglected community. This exhibit continues the conversation on the work of color field artist Peter Bradley, sculptor Colin Chase, Debra Preistly, and David Hammons. The New Hudson River School is neither an aesthetic nor way of making art but an acknowledgment of the Hudson Valley’s allure for artists who have settled here having wandered off the various “plantations” that support the art-world economy in New York City.

Musicians who have added their voices to the jazz story are taking the stage in the outdoor living room at TRANSART. Working alongside Harry Belafonte, Randy Weston, Sun Ra to name a few, Chief Baba Neil Clarke, Craig Harris, Christopher Dean Sullivan and Mala Waldron have added their voices to the art form. They are also artists in residence at TRANSART and are providing individually crafted programs for this weekend. Historically, jazz musicians sit at the apex of influencers of art and culture. Jazz is what democracy sounds like.

Javon Jackson Band playing the music score he created for the documentary “With Peter Bradley. Jackson is also the Artistic Director of Programs for Jazz in the Valley.
“In composing the music for With Peter Bradley, a brilliant new documentary on the abstract painter …saxophonist Javon Jackson is also painting a series of pictures. The original music from the documentary is like a full exhibit, an extended play expression of the lightheartedness and verve of the enigmatic Peter Bradley.” DownBeat Magazine Aug 2023
