SUMMARY:Guajiros Retratos de Otoño\, an exhibition of work by Lázaro Niebla
DESCRIPTION:Lázaro Niebla\, a resident of Trinidad de Cuba\, documents the connection to the past through reverse woodcut portraits of those that understand it best: his elders. His process begins by collecting discarded colonial window panels that were used to protect the homes in Trinidad de Cuba during the Spanish colonization. He then photographs his subjects\, capturing them in a spontaneous moment. Working off of his photograph\, Lázaro meticulously carves layer after layer from the repurposed panel\, exposing the perfectly preserved wood under the surface. Using acrylic paint\, Lázaro adds touches of color to the piece\, choosing to leave the skin of the subject wood tone — connecting the person he has chosen to portray to the material that he has chosen to work with. The life of the tree\, the window shutter\, the home it protected\, the subject portrayed\, and the artist are all represented in each piece of art. \nArtist Demonstration: September 27 from 6pm – 8pm |Great Hall Auditorium\nLázaro Niebla\, Cuban wood sculptor\, explains his concept\, technique\, tools and cultural aspects of his work.  He’ll show an example of a work in progress and how he accomplishes the carved details of his subjects to create the multi-dimensional texture of his works.\n\nNEW!!! Opening Reception – RESCHEDULED FOR November 10 from 6pm – 8 pm | Pollak Gallery\nPlease join us for a meet and greet with the artist!

SUMMARY:PAT CRESSON - Taking a Leap –The Power of the Natural World - 45 Years of Creative Work
DESCRIPTION:Closing Reception and lecture/walking tour: Thursday December 7 – Tour begins at 4pm; Reception (light refreshments) from 5-6pm \nThis retrospective show\, PAT CRESSON Taking a Leap –The Power of the Natural World 45 Years of Creative Work is a combined visual statement of over 45 years of artmaking. It covers 21 different categories ranging from painting\, drawing\, collage\, printmaking\, and digital imaging to sculpture. CRESSON have always been interested in a broad range of art topics\, styles and techniques and has followed her heart and not limited herself to just one or two topics\, series or styles. \nAncient cultures and architecture\, botanicals\, maps & ephemera\, the landscape\, weather systems and climate\, insects\, birds\, Asian culture\, kimonos\, bonsai design\, endangered species\, marine life and the seashore – these are all topics that have interested her for many years and she returns again and again to them for inspiration. Using these as inspiration and metaphor her interest is also in the exploration of human interaction and the natural world – the navigation between what is hidden and what is revealed. \nRecently she has concentrated her explorations into the connection between geometry and Nature. She has explored this by juxtaposing hard edge geometric design form\, scientific illustrations\, and pattern against organic landscape shapes\, portions of sketches\, and textured paint. \nMany of the artist’s pieces combine drawing\, type\, painting\, graphic design\, digital imagery\, and original photography. A majority of her prints and images over the years have reflected interests in nature and landscape\, legend\, myth\, storytelling\, and spirituality. They complement a 35-year interest in anthropology and archaeology with particular interest in the cultures of Egypt\, Japan\, China\, South American Mayan and the Anastazi. \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pat Cresson – Taj Mahal\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pat Cresson – Vintage Fish\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pat Cresson – Blue-Lagoon-Kimona-Series-Green-Frog\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pat Cresson – Prevailing Winds\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pat Cresson – Moose and Elk\n				\n		\n\n“Cresson has often taken a collage approach in her creative work and this is clear in both paintings and prints. In painting\, the artist’s use of oils\, wax\, and mixed media enhances both the collage look of her work and her atmospheric approach to color. In printmaking\, her use of chine-collé and the collograph process heightens the variety of textures and colors in her work. Whether one looks at the paintings and the prints on display here\, or the drawings and digital images available on the artist’s website\, there are opposing areas of abstract color\, a wide array of textures and transparencies\, and recognizable images (or in some cases\, the vague suggestion of images). Color is one of the artist’s strengths\, and her use of it ranges from the poetic to the dramatic. The paintings\, which tend to be more abstract than the prints\, contain some of her most ethereal color combinations. Line is another strength\, especially in the prints that utilize the inherently linear process of intaglio etching.” \nDr. Kate Ogden\, Professor of Art History\, Stockton State University\, NJ \nThis work was supported\, in part\, by several Grant-in-Aid-for-Creativity awards and the Urban Coast Institute at Monmouth University.

SUMMARY:British Invasion Part 1: Beginnings and Influences
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Tuesdays – September 19 & 26 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nBefore the Beatles kicked off the British Invasion of the US\, a musical revolution was underway in the UK. Teens reveled in listening to a specific type of American music: rock and roll from Elvis Presley\, Fats Domino\, Little Richard\, and more. Early Motown reached the Merseyside\, along with records by little-known (in America) R&B artists. At the same time\, James Brown and Ray Charles scored hits both in the US and the UK. However\, folk also attracted teens’ attention through a genre called skiffle\, a style that would greatly influence budding musicians such as John Lennon and Jimmy Page. \nThis two-session virtual course taught by Kit O’Toole examines the influences of these genres on what would become the British Invasion\, which would ultimately transform music worldwide. The class will survey the artists that would predate the Beatles: Billy Fury\, Cliff Richard\, the Shadows\, Tommy Steele\, The Vipers Skiffle Group\, and much more. It will reveal just how different the UK and US charts looked prior to the British Invasion\, and how these artists and numerous genres contributed to the transformation from 1950s to 1960s sounds. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Willie Nile
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Performing Arts season-opening concert with Willie Nile and opening act James Maddock. \nThe New York Times called Buffalo\, NY born Willie Nile “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years.” Uncut Magazine called him “A one-man Clash.” His album Streets Of New York was hailed as “a platter for the ages” by Uncut. Rolling Stone listed The Innocent Ones as one of the “Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums of 2011” and BBC Radio called it “THE rock ‘n’ roll album of the year.” His single from that album\, “One Guitar\,” was the “Top Pick of the Week” in USA Today. \nBono\, Bruce Springsteen\, Pete Townshend\, Lou Reed\, Lucinda Williams\, Jim Jarmusch\, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises. His album\, American Ride\, won “Best Rock Album of the Year” at the Independent Music Awards. It appeared on dozens of year-end Top Ten lists for 2013 and was voted “Album Of The Year” by Twangville Magazine. Bono called it\, “One of the great guides to unraveling the mystery that is the troubled beauty of America.” \nWillie has toured across the U.S. with The Who and has sung with Bruce Springsteen and Ringo Starr. As the induction program from the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame says: “His live performances are legendary.” His 2020 album New York At Night got rave reviews\, with The Associated Press calling it: “As sharp and guitar-driven as ever…the fire within Nile\, once a peer of The Replacements and The Clash\, continues to light a similar torch…anthemic…custom made for these times..” Downbeat Magazine calling it a “sonic love letter to Gotham.” His new studio album The Day The Earth Stood Still features a duet with Steve Earle on the song “Blood On Your Hands.”  The London Times called him “A man who embodies the true spirit of rock n’ roll.” The New Yorker wrote that Willie Nile is “One of the most brilliant singer-songwriters of the past 30 years.”
