I am honored to part of a group show at the DVAA in Narrowsburg, NY. The Alliance Gallery kicks off the 2016 season with a group exhibition of artworks titled “About Face.” The exhibit opens on Saturday, February 6, with a reception from 2 – 4 pm, and will be on view through March 26.
As the title implies, “About Face” is an exhibition about faces and their complicated expressions. The show depicts “images of happiness, sadness, fear, pensiveness, mystery and intensity,” says gallery curator Rocky Pinciotti. “Each artist has chosen to portray the subject’s charisma, temperament, individuality and psyche in such a way that the viewer is pulled into the subject’s world through the vehicle of the face—the mask we present to the world.”
The show grew out of general submissions received by the DVAA for the Alliance Gallery. Says Pinciotti, “A theme typically surfaces as we look through the submissions, and this year there were a number of unique works involving portraits.”
The exhibition includes an assortment of media including painting, photography, collage and woodcut prints. Artists in the exhibit include Mark Ciocca, Claire Lambe, Lisa LoCurto, Charles Maraia, Akira Ohiso, John Rocklin, Richard Seehausen, Miguel Tio, and Scott A. Woolsey.
Alliance Gallery is located at the Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main Street, Narrowsburg, NY, and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm.
The opening reception for “About Face” will take place at the Delaware Arts Center on Saturday, February 6 from 2 to 4 pm, in conjunction with DVAA’s online Bgallery space which will be presenting “Altered Ego – Manipulated Self Portraits of and by the artist.”
For more information call 845-252-7576.

My favorite Mose Allison song would have to be “Everybody’s Crying Mercy” But the first one that really got me was “Parchment Farm” !!
Check out Greg Browns fantastic Ode to Mose below………..
Mose-Allison, Towne Crier Cafe, Pawling,-New-York-9.15.07
The joint is a dump, The owner is broke
At least that’s what he said, The p.a.’s a joke
The waitpersons are snotty, the bartender’s rude
They want to make sure I know they forgot me, But not their attitude
The bellyachers played last night, Everybody got sick
Don’t even try dancing, your feet would just stick
The band signs their poster, “fuck u miguel”
And that’s all the good part, The bad part’s the smell
And what was your name again, oh – yeah – right – brown
Your crowd just drinks water, Surprised you’re still around
And nobody’s coming, because hey man you see, Advertising’s expensive, hey, what guarantee
But as I set up I am proud to be here, Because once last November, Mose Allison played here.
( lyrics by Greg Brown)
