An Exciting New Art Exhibit Coming Soon

ATTENTION ARTISTS ~ OPEN CALL

Art Lovers ~
Tompkins Corners is proud to present a new online art exhibit that will get you in the mood for Valentine's Day! In the next few weeks, we'll be busy perusing art submissions and getting this show ready for you. Who knows? Perhaps you'll spot a piece that speaks to you that you'd like to bring home!

We know that love is multi-faceted. Some ideas of it are steeped in myth and tradition, while others evolve with us and our society. What will the artists bring  us?

1 - 3:30 pm

Instructor, Anne Johann, will demonstrate how to choose and mix colors to ensure more dynamic paintings. We will explore why it is important to consider not only color choice but also value and temperature to get the results you want. Anne says, "Being conscious of all three attributes of color is what makes the difference between a dynamic and a dull painting”.  Class to be held on our beautiful lawn.

The fee for the 4 week class is $140.
To guarantee individual attention, participation is limited to 8 students. Covid protocol will be observed.

"Driven to Abstraction"
Online Art Exhibit
March 1 - April 3, 2021


Tompkins Corners Visual Arts committee has invited several artists to participate in this exciting new exhibit. Abstract art has been of the most intriguing and controversial developments in the art world and presents unique challenges to the artist. Many say that in the desire to most fully express themselves and their world, they are “driven to abstraction.”  Participating artists include many professionals who live and work in New York’s Hudson Valley.  

We are pleased to announce the winners of our "Driven to Abstraction" exhibit. With each artist's style so distinct and unique, the process was difficult. Cindy Booth, "Arizona" for Curator’s Award and Arlene Seymour, "The Heart of the Matter" - People's Choice.  Thank you for your votes.
