Photography, pottery and sculpture at CAG

LIBERTY, NY — The Catskill Artists Gallery, 38 South Main Street, will open its last showcase exhibition of the season, “2-D... 3-D... Potpourri... ,” on Saturday, October 17, with a meet-the-artists reception from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. The group show, featuring photography, pottery and sculpture, will run through November 29.

Sculpture will be represented by member Robert Friedman, with dynamic new pieces using found objects and a wide variety of other materials. Pottery will be shown by member Kathy Jeffers, who will present a new series of her signature whimsical works. Internationally known Cecily Fortescue will present her dynamic hand-built vessels; and Graham Bond will show his intricate raku art pieces, which combine wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques, with an added touch of fused glass on ceramic wall pieces.

Three photographers round out the selections in this show. La Verne Black creates sensitive tributes to old farm structures and equipment fighting the elements of weather and time. Richard Hirschman’s photos range from urban street energy to country foliage and outbuildings. Margaret Helthaler uses a pinhole camera to create other-worldly images, and uses the encaustic process to enhance some of her work.

The Catskill Artists Gallery is a cooperative gallery of artists and craftspeople, with six members and some 40 consignors. It is open year round on Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m.
