CANAJOHARIE, NY—The public is invited to an opening reception for a juried exhibition of regional artists’ work on Friday, December 4 from 5:00 to 7:00pm at the Arkell Museum and the Canajoharie Library.

The work of 23 local artists will be on display through January 31, 2010.

Work by the following artists will appear in the 2009 show: Debi Angilletta and Betty Pieper of Scotia; Matthew Bartik of Patersonville; Laurie Greenbaum Beitch of Niskayuna; Debra Carpenter and Robin Rosenthal of Schenectady; Mother Elisabeth Czwikla of Mohawk; Jennifer DesJardins of Gloversville; John Elliott of Glenville; Linda Hinkle, Lynda Naske, and Lynne Sweet of Johnstown; Andre Jones of Fort Plain; Linda Kollar of Fultonville; Marion Kratky of Northville; Michael Naso of Cooperstown; Fritzie Paine and Ginny Pugliese of New York; Philip Palmieri of Loudonville; James Schwabach of Ilion; Nina Stanley of Albany; Lynne Vokatis of Amsterdam; and Angeline Williams of Palatine Bridge.

“Each juried art show is unique,” said Andy Albertson, the Curator of Education and Public Programs at the Arkell Museum and Chair of the Community Gallery Committee. “The range of media and the rich interpretation of the real and surreal aspects of life make every show a microcosm of the contemporary art world. We are thrilled to display the work of these twenty-three exceptionally talented artists.”

Admission to the Community Galleries in the Arkell Museum and Canajoharie Library is free, as is the December 4 opening reception.
