Neighborhood

& New Kids on the Street

 
January 31 – March 6, 2004

Reception: Sat., January, 31, 5-7pm

Neighborhood & New Kids on the Street is a multi-media exhibition including paintings, sculpture, photography, commercial and documentary artwork. The Neighborhood show artists are inspired by community life in rural downtown neighborhoods. Main Street facades and historic town environs are celebrated as well as change and revitalization. The group show includes Dina Bursztyn, Julie C. Chase, Jim Cramer, V. James Di Perna, Kico Govantes, Claude Haton, Phyllis Hjorth, Sherell Jacobson, Karen Rhodes, Enrico Scull and others.

The name of the show, Neighborhood & New Kids on the Street, takes on an additional meaning, as it welcomes several “newcomer” artists to Catskill’s Main Street: Kico Govantes; a painter who has created public art for downtown San Francisco, mixed media artist Julie C. Chase and stoneware sculptor Dina Bursztyn.

The public is invited to meet the artists at the opening reception on Saturday, January 31, 5-7pm. And all members are welcome to attend the Annual GCCA Members Meeting which follows the opening, 7-8pm. For more information call the GCCA Catskill offices at 518-943-3400.
