Pelham Art Center

Join Pelham Art Center for a virtual studio visit with Diana Schmertz, exhibiting artist in Domestic Brutes. “I am interested in the systems people create in order to organize what they perceive in the world around them. These systems can be based in science, religion, psychology, philosophy or politics. No matter how cerebral a system or idea may appear, it is always experienced through our physical senses. In order to communicate balance between reason and the senses I paint imagery of the body expressing emotional understanding juxtaposed with systems of verbal and/or mathematical reasoning. In my recent work I laser cut watercolor paintings transforming the paper into an object that is made out of words. By using two strongly contrasting techniques, handmade and machine made, the physical work reinforces the conceptual idea that sensory/emotive understanding is fundamentally connected with analytical logic. The final art pieces are objective and intuitive, mechanical and intimate. Whether the viewer chooses to focus on the “rationality” in the text or the “sensory” in the bodies each remains equally significant within the physical object itself.” Please note: Pelham Art Center zoom links are sent by email 1-2 hours prior to event.

Mamaroneck Library has partnered with Stand Out For College, LLC to help families understand how the college admissions landscape is changing due to COVID-19 and what impact it will have on Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors.Please email the Mamaroneck Library@ mamklibteens@gmail.com,Subject Line: College or RSVP to ron@standoutforcollege.com to receive a private invitation with a Zoom link in reply. There is no charge for this event.The college admissions process is undergoing significant and lasting changes as many colleges and universities have gone test optional for this current admissions cycle and will evaluate their standardized testing policies going forward. With the opportunity for visiting colleges curtailed, we’ll discuss how students can engage with colleges virtually to help them develop a preliminary list of colleges to consider visiting when campuses are fully open.We will discuss the holistic review process and focus on the greater consideration admissions officers will give to extracurricular activities as they will have fewer data points to rely on due to the disruptions from COVID-19.This program covers how admissions officers are handling the current situation and how students can position themselves to develop a compelling narrative to increase their chances for admission. We will also discuss the importance of community service and how it can help a student to stand out from other applicants.The presentation will be led by Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper, partners at Stand Out For College, LLC.

Pelham Art Center

Join Pelham Art Center for a virtual studio visit with Ashley Cooper, exhibiting artist in Domestic Brutes. Ashley Norwood Cooper’s idiosyncratic paintings are unabashedly narrative. In bright colors she depicts American life with sincerity, nostalgia, and dark humor. She draws on a wide range of influences from art history and contemporary narrative painting to music and folklore. While her paintings sometimes seem magical and dreamlike, the details are always drawn from the humble reality of life, both domestic and natural, in the Appalachian mountains and foothills where the artist has mostly lived. Please note: Pelham Art Center zoom links are sent by email 1-2 hours prior to event. To ensure you can join on time, please use the zoom link to register at least 15 minutes before start time.
