LIBERTY — The Liberty Museum & Arts Center will host its first Invitational Art Show, opening Saturday, June 29th and running until September 1st.  The Liberty Museum will be filled with a dazzling array of artwork from pre-eminent artists both  from  the region and beyond.  

Much of the artwork is rarely seen in our area. New watercolors by Laverne Black and Jacqueline Herman, whimsical multi-media creations of James Karpowicz and Matthew Sherman, the rarely seen, museum-quality still-lifes of Phillip Gabrielli, the large lyrical abstract work, some dating from the 1960s of Tony Canger, the oil and acrylic paintings  of Rosie Feder, evocative photographs of Jackie Chiger and Jean Rhodes, oil paintings from the butterfly series by Barnaby Frumess, colorful geometric abstracts of Julie Gross, seminal art deco works of the late Gustav Kaitz, varied oil paintings by Alison Luci and the always popular paintings by the late Dorothy Langseder, varied textural frottage and abstract  paintings of Marjorie Morrow, wildlife art of Sara Munoz, and stylized city-scapes of Ed Ziff will be included in the show.

Curator Naomi Frumess says, “I have invited each artist to bring special works, representing each ones’ interests to entice visitors  into their world. It has been quite  a challenge to get all these incredibly talented people under one roof.”

Most of the exhibited artwork will be for sale.  The Liberty Museum is located at 46 South Main Street in the village of Liberty. The Museum is open from noon to 4PM, Saturdays and Sundays. Call (845) 807-6055 or email nfrumessfnp396@gmail.com.
