A message from Eric Garrison of Maggie's Farm about why this concert/dance is a special trip down memory lane for him ... and for you :)
"Folks of my vintage may remember our younger days when the local churches hosted weekend dances. St. James, the Hyde Park Methodist Church, and the Dutch Reformed Church all took their turns back in the mid-Sixties, and I well remember the bands that played - the Revells, Nature's Conspiracy, the Mark IV and lots of others were the soundtrack to these events. On Saturday night, October 5, the Artists Collective of Hyde Park will recreate one of those magical nights at the Hyde Park Methodist Church Hall at 7:30 when Maggie's Farm will bring its British Invasion From A to Z show to town. From the Animals to the Zombies, the band will take a whirlwind tour through the music that we loved in our junior high and high school days. So, whether you come to dance or just to listen, come on our for a great night of classic music and support this great local organization! More information is available on the FB pages of Maggie's Farm and/or the Artists Collective of Hyde Park."  Marble sculpture by Carl Grieco, new for our "Crossing the Line" show.
WHAT'S NEW (Please scroll Down for all our goings-on in art, music, workshops and events) On Sunday, September 29 Christina and two other artists, Pamela Herbst (pastels) and Ilga Ziemins-Kurens (acrylics, and one of our award-winning Paint & Sip leaders) will give an artist talk at the gallery at 1:00 PM. They will talk about their artistic inspiration, practice and experiences and answer your questions. In the spotlight for our current all-member show, "Crossing the Line", are photographer Barbara Todd (August 3 through August 30) and pastel painter Christina Kokiasmenos (August 31 through September), whose work will be featured in our central gallery room. This show runs through September 29. Christina Kokiasmenos evokes the souls of her pastel portraits' subjects and uses playful colors to bring to life birds, landscapes and more. The rest of the gallery displays works by the rest of our membership in pastels, oils, watercolor and acrylic paintings, photography, sculpture, jewelry, mixed media and textile art. CONCERT: Maggie's Farm plays the British Invasion from Animals to Zombies. The boys in the band have chosen 25 songs from 25 British rock groups of the 1960's for a fab concert where dancing is encouraged! October 5, 7:30 PM at the United Methodist Church Hall, Church Street and Route 9, Hyde Park, NY 12538. Tickets are $12 at the door. Refreshments will be available for purchase.
