DESCRIPTION:Converging Realities\, Altered Perceptions \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembers Gallery \n\n\n\nConverging Realities\, Altered Perceptions \n\n\n\nThis member exhibition explores surrealistic\, visionary\, and psychologically evocative artwork that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination.

SUMMARY:Spotlight Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Edward Bakst: Hidden Realities \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEdward Bakst: Hidden Realities \n\n\n\nIn his first solo exhibition at ASK\, internationally acclaimed artist\, Edward Bakst\, presents two interconnected bodies of photographic work that investigate what lies beyond ordinary perception. \n\n\n\nBakst’s Non-Linear Panoramas Series disrupts conventional photographic perspectives by employing a unique in-camera process that transforms a single viewpoint into simultaneous dimensions of time and space. Created entirely within an iPhone without digital stitching\, these images challenge gravity\, perspective\, and expectations\, revealing abstracted realities shaped by emotion\, memory\, and environmental change. \n\n\n\nHis Hidden Spaces Series delves into seemingly ordinary objects\, textures\, and scenes to uncover unexpected worlds concealed within them. Through close observation and digital exploration\, Bakst reveals imagined landscapes\, microscopic universes\, atmospheric forms\, and visual phenomena that emerge from the overlooked details of everyday life. \n\n\n\nTogether\, the series invite viewers to contemplate the hidden structures\, perceptions\, and possibilities that exist beneath the surface of the visible world. \n\n\n\nBakst’s work has been exhibited internationally in New York City\, Milan\, Barcelona\, Seoul\, Australia\, Qatar\, and beyond. A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a former Fulbright Specialist\, he has also led imagination workshops around the world and held leadership positions at major institutions including Pratt Institute\, Columbia University\, and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

SUMMARY:Hudson Valley Improv
DESCRIPTION:Hudson Valley Improv\n\n\n\nAt Arts Society of Kingston\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWednesdays\, July 8\, 15\, 22\, 29\, 6-9PM\n\n\n\nJuly Level 5: The Mastery\n\n\n\nThis is the Wild West of Hudson Valley improv. At this point you have a solid understanding of improv\, memorized gauntlet of games and exercises\, you have a solid acting technique\, a solid ensemble\, you’ve performed\, directed and created games. Now you’re ready to put it all to the test. Here you learn how to draw upon your training at a moments notice and find the game in a scene with no pre-established rules or suggestions. You’ll learn how to recognize when a game begins (or introduce one) within a scene WHILE playing the scene and then take it to the next level. You’ll also heighten your ability to not only create game\, but an entire show at breakneck speed. Nothing will shake you. Your final show? Oh yeah…it’s gonna be mind blowing. (Cue eerie western music) \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThese classes sell out quickly! Book now!

SUMMARY:Edward Bakst: Creative Journey Across Time and Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk: Edward Bakst\n\n\n\nCreative Journey Across Time & Spaces\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSaturday\, July 18 2026 \n\n\n\n3pm – 4pm \n\n\n\nEdward Bakst views imagination as the source of inspiration\, a force that frees us from the limits of everyday reality. Throughout his career\, he has balanced launching innovative academic programs and leading imagination workshops with work in animation\, art\, concept design\, drawing\, and photography\, while extensive travel has fueled his curiosity about the world’s hidden contrasts. Rather than seeing himself as a traditional photographer\, Bakst approaches his work as a questioning explorer. His latest work focuses on revealing extraordinary worlds concealed within ordinary objects and scenes. Join him at the Arts Society of Kingston on Saturday\, July 18 at 3 p.m. for an artist talk exploring the philosophy behind his exhibition Hidden Realities\, his creative process\, and the discoveries that transform the familiar into the unexpected.

SUMMARY:Earthbody Events: Open Source Forms
DESCRIPTION:Dancing the Inner Landscape with Teresa Smith\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn OSF classes we enter a creative process; letting go of outer layers of holding to find primal energy and ease. Guided by embodied imagery as a powerful tool for transformation we’ll access moving with agility\, transparency and depth. Through alignment studies\, movement exploration and group improvisation we’ll cultivate a deep connection to our inner and outer environments.  \n\n\n\nIn this series we’ll explore three unique states of dancing; I move\, it moves me\, It moves! A remarkably effective way of learning\, the OSF approach can catalyze transformation in many kinds of practice\, in unique movement virtuosity\, and in daily life.

DESCRIPTION:Edward Bakst: Hidden Realities \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEdward Bakst: Hidden Realities \n\n\n\nIn his first solo exhibition at ASK\, internationally acclaimed artist\, Edward Bakst\, presents two interconnected bodies of photographic work that investigate what lies beyond ordinary perception. \n\n\n\nBakst’s Non-Linear Panoramas Series disrupts conventional photographic perspectives by employing a unique in-camera process that transforms a single viewpoint into simultaneous dimensions of time and space. Created entirely within an iPhone without digital stitching\, these images challenge gravity\, perspective\, and expectations\, revealing abstracted realities shaped by emotion\, memory\, and environmental change. \n\n\n\nHis Hidden Spaces Series delves into seemingly ordinary objects\, textures\, and scenes to uncover unexpected worlds concealed within them. Through close observation and digital exploration\, Bakst reveals imagined landscapes\, microscopic universes\, atmospheric forms\, and visual phenomena that emerge from the overlooked details of everyday life. \n\n\n\nTogether\, the series invite viewers to contemplate the hidden structures\, perceptions\, and possibilities that exist beneath the surface of the visible world. \n\n\n\nBakst’s work has been exhibited internationally in New York City\, Milan\, Barcelona\, Seoul\, Australia\, Qatar\, and beyond. A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a former Fulbright Specialist\, he has also led imagination workshops around the world and held leadership positions at major institutions including Pratt Institute\, Columbia University\, and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

SUMMARY:Members Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Converging Realities\, Altered Perceptions \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembers Gallery \n\n\n\nConverging Realities\, Altered Perceptions \n\n\n\nThis member exhibition explores surrealistic\, visionary\, and psychologically evocative artwork that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination. Featuring works that engage with dream logic\, altered states\, symbolic imagery\, fragmented memory\, transformation\, illusion\, and the instability of perception\, the exhibition invites audiences into worlds that are at once familiar and strange. \n\n\n\nParticipating artists: Stuart Bigley\, Mary Lynne Bonforte\, Kerry Buchman\, Dave Channon\, James Dean Conklin\, Walter Fancourt\, Beth Feinstein\, Abbey Frank\, Patti Gibbons\, Robin Glassman\, Mary Anna Goetz\, Terry Haas\, Tom Hackett\, Paul James Hecker\, Kim Henry\, Barbara Johnston\, Maxine Kamin\, Virginia Kaufmann\, Pearl Lau\, Yvette Lewis\, Terry Murray\, Carol Pepper-Cooper\, Tracy Phillips\, Erik Richards\, Tonia Waterbury\, Karen Wyks-Lindsay. \n\n\n\nWhether poetic or disorienting\, humorous or haunting\, the artworks challenge conventional ways of seeing and encourage viewers to question what is real. Through diverse approaches and media\, participating artists offer imaginative portals into the subconscious and the uncanny.
