Meet Jocelyn Bergen, a teach artist @ the D.R.A.W.

Meet Jocelyn Bergen, a teach artist @ the D.R.A.W.! Jocelyn has been making limited-edition book art for over twenty years. Her work explores folded paper structures, photography/cyanotype, and decorated paper with drawing, marbling, or paste. With BAs in English and Fine Art from UC Berkeley, Ms Bergen works as a graphic and UX designer, and typographer, all of which have informed her often digitally produced yet hand-made multiples. New to Kingston having moved from the San Francisco Bay Area, she is setting up her mid-town studio, Zephyrine Press!

Paste Papers Class
Sunday, Nov. 14, 10 - 2 Ages 14+
Paste papers are a simple and gratifying way to create decorated paper, for use in bookbinding, boxmaking, collage, and more. In this workshop we will create sheets of paper using paint, paste, and various objects and will apply to designs in the paint/paste mixture while it is still wet. #drawkingston #popupgallerygroup #artstudio #artclass #art #localart #supportlocalartists #nyartist #hudsonvalleyartist #ymca #artgallery #ulstercounty #artstudio #communityart #hudsonvalley #gallery #localart #artistsoninstagram #pugg #departmentofregionalartworkers #ulstercounty #kingstonny #gallery #supportlocalartists

PAIN AND GLORY- Staring: Antonio Banderas & Penélope Cruz
Saturday, Nov. 20 @ 7pm
Ages 12+ suggested donation $10

PAIN AND GLORY is a story of reencounters experienced by Salvador Mallo (Antonio Banderas), who is a film director in physical decline. The director reflects on his life as the past and present converge into a vivid stream of memory. He has remembrances of his youth, love and the pain of separation, and the search for joy and prosperity. This mind palace journey leads the director to a deeper understanding of life through his art.

Directed by: Pedro Almodóvar
