Armonk Outdoor Art Show
The Armonk Outdoor Art Show, (OAOS) now in its 60th year, returns to 205 Business Park Drive on from 10am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday October 1 and 2. Rain or shine. The show that benefits the Friends of the North Castle Public Library, consistently ranks among the top fine art and design shows in the country.
Approximately 140 juried artists will present work in a broad range of art, including Fine Crafts, Mixed Media, Painting, Printmaking/Drawing/Pastels, Sculpture, Photography/Digital Art, and Wearable Art. Personal interaction with artists provides added perspective and appreciation.
New for this year’s 60th anniversary show is a specially commissioned exhibition entitled “The Art of Storytelling,” featuring work that utilizes a book as the artist’s “canvas.” This exhibition celebrates the connection between our art show and our local North Castle Public Library, highlighting the library’s vital role within our community.
Visitors can enjoy a large selection of food and beverages, including beer & wine. Stop by the Family Activities tent for free interactive arts and crafts projects for children. Local art studios will offer engaging lessons and projects throughout both days.
Once again this year, OAOS presents a strong lineup of painters. Beginning with the graphic designer Jennifer Ardolino, (Pictured above) a show mainstay, who will showcase her complex signature woven and pleated original watercolors. Dwight Baird, who will present his travel series of acrylic paintings of vintage cars in vibrant colors set against urban landscapes rendered in muted unsaturated colors. And James Carter’s still lives of everyday objects such as vintage radios and cameras with sparrows, goldfinches and wrens perched on top. His acrylic painting combine the use of airbrush and traditional brush work. See more.
Art Show art vultures will have 15 photographers and digital artists to choose from at this year’s show. From Bruce Jeffries Reinfeld’s whimsical new collection using his innovative lenticular process to Caroline Christie’s equine photography and John Deng’s color and black and white photos of rural life in China, Japan, India, Myanmar, Laos, Nepal, Bhutan, Malaysia, Ethiopia, Cuba, Peru and Antarctica. We like some of Eric Saulitis’ provocative black and white dance prints. And Daniel Oleski’s photographs of tail fins and leather interiors or classic American automobiles from the 50s and 60s. See more.
More than 20 artists will display sculpture at AOAS. Including Domenico Belli’s large format metal sculptures. Jay McDougall’s contemporary wooden objects carved out of single blocks of fallen hardwood trees near his studio in rural Minnesota. And Hiroshi Nakayam’s contemplative ceramic sculptures (pictured here). See more.
If you really are just looking for something to wear the AOAS will present 18 makers of jewelry, scarves, dresses, woo coats, handbags and other wearable art. From Sharon Rosenthal’s handprinted necklaces, Kathleen Scranton’s vintage book purses, Lisa Limer’s silk print scarves, wraps and made to order luxury loungewear. (Pictured here.)
The ever popular mixed media category features a wide variety of media techniques and subject matter from 31 artists. From the pixilated images of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Andy Warhol and Frida Kahlo from Jennifer Lashbrook to the layered paint techniques Armonk’s own Evan Lorberbaum uses in his abstract expressionist paintings. Collages such as Benjamin Frey’s Ferris Wheels and Danielle Desplan’s botanicals. See More.
For those of you who missed out on buying Andy Warhol or Robert Rauschenberg for under seven figures, contemporary Pop artist Dane Shue serves up mixed media artworks using gestural painting and printmaking techniques of nostalgiac personalities from Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Queen Elizabeth to Debra Harry, Grace Jones and Lady Gaga. See More.
Finally, there are a number of fine crafts makers of note exhibiting at the show. Including the acclaimed Batik artist Amos Amit whose work is nostalgiac for his childhood in Northern Israel where he was raised on a farm. And Robin Kettleson, whose molten glass works are molded into plates, platters and bowls that can never be duplicated. And Bob Green’s raku and burnished pottery. See more.
