YMCA Plans Art Exhibitions in January, February

Two exhibitions will be on display at the during  January and February.

"SHADOW"
Anne Carney
January 4—February 3
Anne Carney's "Shadow" series features silver gelatin prints made from black & white film and hand-processed in a darkroom.

There is a stark beauty and simplicity of design in black & white photography, which Carney is drawn to. Much of her artwork is inspired by film noir, and this is especially apparent in her "Shadow" series.  Carney finds shadows interesting because they make the observer think about what the unseen element that casts the shadow is. They leave the story and the interpretation to the viewer. 

"IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT"
February 5—March 3
"It Happened One Night" is comprised of works by a group of MFA candidates at William Paterson University in Wayne.

All the artists represented in this exhibit are friends and share studio space. They collectively decided to put a show together for local venues in order to support the arts in our communities. Although each artist works with different mediums and has a different vision, the collaborative nature of personal growth within the graduate program is important. The artists involved are all different ages and from different walks of life. 

All the artists' work in this exhibit is geared toward capturing a moment... not necessarily a specific thing, but a happening that affects one person or everyone.

Exhibited artwork will be available for sale. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Wyckoff YMCA. For further information on this show and sale, contact Jennifer Sauer at the Y at 201-891-2081.
