Current Art Exhibit FLOW - Tania Canteli Art Exhibit Show runs through January 30 "FLOW" presents a series of abstract works that evoke the essence of water and surrounding landscapes in its many forms, where color and movement dance in harmony across each canvas. Through distinctive brushstrokes and layered textures, Tania Canteli captures the fluidity and dynamism of water, portraying the rushing currents of rivers, the crystalline stillness of icy glaciers, and the mysterious glow of bioluminescent ocean depths under ever-shifting light. The abstract pieces are a study in contrasts, balancing delicate transitions with bold, tactile elements. Canteli’s palette draws inspiration from nature’s hues, punctuated by vibrant primary shades that offer bursts of energy and life. Her technique of scraping and layering reveals not just physical textures, but also a metaphorical grit, uncovering hidden depths beneath the surface. These multi-layered canvases invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the ebb and flow of the compositions, where strokes fade into soft, dreamlike obscurity, mirroring the way water blurs boundaries and distills clarity. "FLOW" is as much an exploration of the tangible world as it is an emotional journey into the essence of fluidity, resilience, and transformation. Tania Canteli, a Spanish-born fashion designer and self-taught artist, specializes in multi-layered abstract acrylics, characterized by vibrant colors and rich textures inspired by her textile background. With a professional career spanning fashion design and teaching, she now resides in New Paltz, where she engages in art lectures and offers design consulting services. |

Tiny Roost Gallery Roost Studios has created a fresh way to show, see, experience and interact with art outside the traditional gallery or museum model. Roost worked with Ryan Solomons, a 3-D fabrication design artist to make the first Tiny Roost: Art on the Outside gallery installed outside the Gardiner Library.
The tiny gallery is a 24"x 36" moveable clear art gallery box that sits on a 36" high steel and wood base. It is weatherproof, powered by solar energy, and has both permanent and changeable signage, LED lighting and audio capability. It will house rotating exhibitions by various artists focusing on a variety of relevant themes. OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS FOR FUTURE EXHIBITIONS |

Tiny Roost Current and Upcoming Exhibits 2024 Fall Exhibit (September through December) What makes a home? What makes us feel like we belong? Is it the people? Are “things” important to us or is it simply knowing we are enough and that we belong? “Belonging: My Journey Home” references the human journey and looks at what it means. Where do we belong? Where do they belong? Dorothy in Oz and Alice in Wonderland are both compelling images from our childhood reminding us of a hero's humble journey. Our Journey. Wandering, searching for home holding dear memories of people, places, and things in an endless search for safety, security, and acceptance. The exhibit aims to open that doorway for the viewer to reflect on the things we and others hold dear as we are reminded of life's ephemeral and fleeting moments in our search for what we believe to be permanent. The installation resembles a game board (Yellow Brick Road, Candyland etc.) with tiny objects and symbols to reflect life's journey intermingled with images of Alice and Dorothy. The objects and symbols (some crafted from: paper, clay, fabric, etc. and some found/manufactured objects) will ask the viewer to reflect on their journey/home what it means to be human and feel safe.
