July 30-Aug. 4: The School of Art’s Monoprint Invitational, featuring 62 artists backed by four master printers. What are monoprints? Unlike classic multi-print formats from block and wood cuts to etching and intaglio, monoprints are often the simple transfer of paint to paper through a glass or other “negative.” It’s messy, unpredictable, perfect for experimentation, and hence not only a challenge but a great way for artists to fully explore their creativity, to really show underlying chops.

The production runs at the Comeau Property in Woodstock from July 27 through September 2, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, at 5:30 p.m.

The exhibition, Nature Morte: The Early Years of Still Life Painting in Woodstock, features ten regional artists brought together by noted landscape painter and SUNY New Paltz professor Thomas Sarrantonio.

Kane had a house in Margaretville, Town of Middletown, Delaware County, during the 60s and 70s. His son and archivist, musician Jonathan Kane, will give a talk and slide show of Art Kane’s work at the Historical Society of Middletown on Saturday, July 21, at 7 p.m.
