November 17, 2010
Experience the possibilities for art in the heart of Newburgh when Jackie Skrzynski and a band of five other artists take over part of a warehouse on Chambers Street and transform it into an art gallery for an exhibit entitled Orange Alert.
Skrynski, a fine art painter from Cornwall-on-Hudson who also experiments how art is experienced in nature, says she invited five well known artists “who quietly live among us” to show their work in the gallery through December 4th.
The five artists: Stephanie Bursese, Robert Brush, John Delk, David Freund, and Barbara Smith Gioia have exhibited widely outside of the area, but have rarely, if ever, shared their work with their local community in Orange County.
Jackie Skrynski says the Pop-Up Gallery's mission is to transform unrented or, in this case, transitional, spaces into a gallery for a short period of time. Artists and art lovers have an opportunity to see artwork that is not often shown in Orange County while participating in the cultural revival of an economically diverse area. Chambers Street is off Broadway, almost directly across from the Ritz Theater. (Ann Street Gallery and the cafes and shops on Liberty Street are just two blocks away.)
To gain entry to the Pop-Up Gallery exhibit, get a group of friends together and ring the buzzer at 9-11 Chambers Street between 1 and 4 pm on Sunday, November 21, then come up to the second floor of the restored warehouse that is being rented as artists’ studios. On other days, you’ll have to call for an appointment to view Orange Alert in the Pop-Up Gallery (845) 304-3142.
This project is made possible, in part, with generous funds from Orange County Tourism and the County of Orange.
