SUMMARY:Special Saturday\, July 11 Artswalk
DESCRIPTION:The First Fridays Artswalk in downtown Pittsfield continues its 5-month season (May through September) at a special date and time: SATURDAY\, July 11 from 1 to 4 pm. \n  \nParticipating venues on SATURDAY\, July 11 include Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. Hotel on North\, Indie Readery and Records\, O.U.R Resurge\, the Onota Building\, Sanctum Gallery\, Solarium Plant Shop\, and the Soda Chef. \n  \nDownload the Downtown Pittsfield App in the App Store or on Google Play to follow a virtual walking tour of art on your cell phone. \n  \nSolarium Plant Shop\, 46 West Street\, will feature “Layered”- Visionary Alchemy of Paper\, Scissors & Glue by Margo Serina at a reception during the Artswalk on Saturday\, July 11\, 1 to 4 pm. \n  \nMargo Serina of Sacred Bridge Studio is a Berkshire native and life-long artist who explores with various mediums to create art while gravitating towards collage and watercolor as two of her favorite forms of expression. Her work features contrast\, textures\, and vibrant color combinations as well as the use of mixed media and elements of nature. \n  \n“Layered” – Visionary Alchemy of Paper\, Scissors & Glue is a collection of collages Margo has created while exploring and allowing the paper she cuts and collects to come together organically in her creative process with both simplicity and articulation of the elements involved to create multi layered and cohesive images. She finds this process to be both meditative and highly therapeutic. \n  \nSolarium Plant Shop\, 46 West Street\, will feature “Layered”- Visionary Alchemy of Paper\, Scissors & Glue by Margo Serina. \n  \n  \nHotel on North\, 297 North Street\, will feature Autumn Phoenix Photography for the month of July. \n  \nAutumn Phoenix is a professional artist and photographer. Her work spans landscapes\, animals\, cityscapes\, and portraiture. Her photographs are defined by unique lighting and vibrant color to capture moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. She is inspired by her grandfather. She views each photograph as a “treasure chest” to preserve experiences long after they pass. \n  \nThere will be a reception with the artist on Saturday\, July 11 from 1 to 4 pm during the Artswalk. \n  \nSanctum Gallery at 148 North Street will feature artist Amy Dawn Kotel during the Special Saturday Artswalk. Amy’s exhibit will be on view Saturday\, July 11 starting at 1 pm with an Opening Reception on Saturday\, July 11\, from 3:30 to 7 pm. The reception will feature live music by Improvisational Musician (and Amy’s husband)\, Matt Swift. \n  \nAmy Dawn Kotel creates vibrant\, immersive artwork that bursts with movement\, color and curiosity. Inspired by nature\, spirituality\, human connection\, and the hidden layers beneath everyday life\, her paintings and mixed media works transform countless forms into expansive dreamscapes\, surreal imagery\, and emotionally rich worlds. Her work invites viewers to wander\, wonder\, and discover beauty in both the chaos and magic of being human. \n  \nMatt Swift’s music spans electric bass\, guitar\, and synths. \n  \nAisha will also have a table of her beautiful soaps and candles available on a table outside the gallery. \n  \nSanctum Gallery at 148 North Street will feature artist Amy Dawn Kotel during the Special Saturday Artswalk. \n  \nStarting July 1st\, twenty poetry broadsides created by Pittsfield High School Students will be on display in the windows of the first floor of the Onota Building at 74 North Street as part of an Arts & Literacy Fellowship developed by The Mastheads. \n  \nThe 11” X 17” broadside posters were printed with Xerox and Risograph on locally-made hemp\, bamboo\, or cotton paper\, generously donated by Onyx Mill. Each one features a poem by a Berkshire County elementary school student\, and a design by Pittsfield High School Students. \n  \nThe broadsides were developed as part of the Masthead Needed Arts & Literacy Fellowship\, a collaboration between The Mastheads and the children’s publishing press Citation Needed\, that provides Pittsfield High School ESL students with multimedia arts-sector experience\, including instruction in visual art\, poetry\, songwriting\, bookmaking\, graphic design\, and sales. \n  \nFor each broadside\, pairs of high school fellows from Marina Coppola’s and Chloe Mascitelli’s ESL classes read dozens of poems written by local elementary school students. Each pair selected a poem and explored the work through different media\, including zines\, drawing\, and printmaking in the PRESS Room at MCLA. Finally\, in a series of design and collage workshops\, students developed a coherent broadside representation of the work. \n  \nFunding for The Masthead Needed Arts & Literacy Fellowship comes from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation\, the Blackwing Foundation\, and the Feigenbaum Foundation. \n  \nO.U.R Resurge\, 119 Fenn Street\, will feature artists Ashley Sposato\, Matt Brinton\, Nicole Fecteau\, Rochely DeJesus Melendez\, and Hannah Mitchell. \n  \nThere will be a reception with the artists on Saturday\, July 11\, 1 to 4 pm\, including a poetry reading\, snacks\, and a table for kids to make art. \n  \nAshley Sposato is a chronically ill poet and mixed-media artist based in the Berkshires. Through her project Idyll & Wild\, she explores love\, longing\, grief\, and transcendence with myth\, ancient history\, and the natural world. \n  \nOn a good day\, you can find her by the riverside calling to birds and buried in ancient Greek poetry. We won’t talk about other days (those are reserved for poems). More conventionally\, she can be found on Substack as Idyll & Wild\, and on Instagram as idyllwildpoetry. \n  \nAshley is published in journals by “The Way Back To Ourselves” and is Pushcart Prize nominated. She is currently working on her inaugural book of poetry\, Hymns for the Orchard. \n  \nMatthew Brinton’s artwork and writing are inspired by the experiences that have shaped his life. On the page and on the canvas\, he attempts to express his understanding of the human condition. Matt’s hope is that by being honest about his experiences\, he can connect with a universal truth and remind others that they are not alone in their struggle to find meaning and purpose. \n  \n​Matt’s drawings are done in a realistic style but often incorporate a painterly and classical linear style. The drawings of landscape and still life he creates are inspired by the sheer beauty of the subjects. His portraiture mainly consists of historical figures who have impacted his life. In his portrayal of these figures\, the main focus is to capture their inner spiritual lives. \n  \nNicole Fecteau’s art is an expression of the interconnectedness of life\, the unending tapestries of stories we weave as communal beings deeply connected to each other and also profoundly integrated within our natural world. Utilizing fabric\, colored pencils\, and embroidery\, Nicole strives to portray various allusions to life and faith as a journey that brings us deeper into our shared experience\, inviting us into more heartfelt levels of compassion and mercy. \n  \nRochely DeJesus Melendez is growing in various art mediums and will be showcasing her watercolor and acrylic paintings. \n  \nHannah Mitchell is a craftsperson who enjoys creating jewelry. She will be showcasing her bracelets for sale. \n  \nIndie Readery and Records\, 314 North Street\, will feature a collection of collage and painting on unconventional surfaces by Brent Ridge now through September 1. Stop by during the July 11 Artswalk from 1 to 4 pm to take a look! \n  \nBrent uses patterned recycled papers and fabrics in place of traditional canvas and paper. These works depict the post-industrial landscape through a tension of decay and renewal of image\, material\, and abstraction. Ridge is a Berkshires-based artist whose work delves into themes of industrial decay\, natural beauty\, and human resilience. A local artist\, originally from Flint\, MI\, Brent has an artistic history in NYC\, abroad\, and in Boston before resettling in the Berkshires. He is currently the art teacher at Reid Middle School in Pittsfield\, where he inspires young artists. \n  \nBerkshire Art Center (BAC) is hosting their summer Faculty Artist Show at Framework by Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. located at 437 North Street. \n  \nExplore a vibrant range of mediums\, including collage\, printmaking\, watercolor\, photography\, pastel\, and more. Featuring faculty artists Thad Kubis\, Jody King Camarra\, Thomas Libetti\, Kim Waterman\, Jill McLean\, and Laura Thompson\, this show is a celebration of the breadth of art! Come experience Berkshire Art Center’s talented Faculty Artists’ work and be inspired to take the next step in your own creative journey\, wherever you might be starting. \n  \nThe show will be on view during the July Artswalk from 1 to 4 pm. \n  \nDownload the Downtown Pittsfield app in the App Store or on Google Play to follow a virtual walking tour of art on your cell phone. Direct link:  https://downtownpittsfield.stqry.app/list/62641 \n  \nFirst Fridays Artswalk is supported in part by a grant from the Mass Cultural Council\, and a grant from the Pittsfield Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \n  \nFirst Fridays Artswalk is also supported in part by The Feigenbaum Foundation. \n  \n  \nEvent Highlights (South to North): \n   \nSolarium Plant Shop\, 46 West Street  \n“Layered”- Visionary Alchemy of Paper\, Scissors & Glue \nMargo Serina of Sacred Bridge Studio \nReception: Saturday\, July 11\, 1 to 4 pm \n  \nOnota Building\, 74 North Street  \nPHS Poetry Broadside Show \nWindow Display \n  \nO.U.R Resurge\, 119 Fenn Street \nHannah Mitchell\, Rochely DeJesus Melendez\, Ashley Sposato\, Matt Brinton\, Nicole Fecteau \nArtist Reception: Saturday\, July 11\, 1 to 4 pm \n  \nSanctum Gallery\, 148 North Street  \n“Irresistible Future” \nAmy Dawn Kotel \nShow on view Saturday\, July 11 starting at 1 pm \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, July 11\, 3:30 to 7 pm \nFeaturing Live Music by Improvisational Musician\, Matt Swift \n  \nSoda Chef\, 161 North Street \nDrift & Bloom: The art of Nicole March \nWindow Display \n  \nHotel on North\, 297 North Street \nAutumn Phoenix Photography \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, July 11\, 1 to 4 pm \n  \nIndie Readery and Records\, 314 North Street \nCollage and painting on unconventional surfaces \nBrent Ridge \nOn View: Saturday\, July 11\, 1 to 4 pm \n  \nFramework by Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc.\, 437 North Street \nBerkshire Art Center (BAC) Summer Faculty Artist Show \nArtists: Thad Kubis\, Jody King Camarra\, Thomas Libetti\, Kim Waterman\, Jill McLean\, and Laura Thompson \nOn View: Saturday\, July 11\, 1 to 4 pm \n  \n  \nFeatured images in header (clockwise top left to bottom left): Margo Serina\, Amy Dawn Kotel\, Matt Brinton\, Brent Ridge\, Autumn Phoenix\, Nicole March
