5 pm – 7 pm

Brookwood Point Conservation Area

6000 State Route 80, Cooperstown NY

Ever wonder what the shores of Otsego Lake looked like 100 years ago? Or how the underlying geology shaped the landscape that we see today? Join local historian, Jessie Ravage on Monday, August 22, for an evening paddling tour on Otsego Lake. The free event is sponsored by Otsego Land Trust, Otsego 2000, and the Otsego County Conservation Association. 

The guided paddle will begin at Brookwood Point Conservation Area and take participants on a gentle ninety-minute paddle on Otsego Lake.  Learn about the underlying geology and how that has defined the landscape. Visualize how the surrounding forests and hills were used by the native peoples and later waves of settlers, farmers, and summer tourists.  Otsego Lake is the centerpiece of the Glimmerglass National Register Historic District, a 15,000-acre cultural landscape that encompasses parts of the Towns of Otsego, Springfield, and Middlefield, as well as the Village of Cooperstown.

Advance registration is required for this free event. Please register by emailing marcie@otsegolandtrust.org. Participants may bring their own canoe or kayak or rent a boat onsite for $25 from Canoe and Kayak Rentals and Sales. Lifejackets are required for all participants. A rain date is scheduled for Tuesday, August 23 from 5 pm- 7 pm. 

Brookwood Point Conservation Area is located on the west side of Otsego Lake, two miles north of the village of Cooperstown and is open from dawn to dusk. The twenty-two-acre property is owned and managed by Otsego Land Trust, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving the region’s natural resources in perpetuity. 

Otsego Outdoors, a collaborative program of the Otsego Land Trust, Otsego County Conservation Association and Otsego 2000, connects people with year-round opportunities to enjoy hiking, paddling, cycling and other activities in the region. Participating in this paddle counts toward the Summer Octet Challenge.

COBLESKILL -- SUNY Cobleskill’s Women's Lacrosse team will take the field in Spring 2024 for the first time, representing the College’s nineteenth NCAA Division III team. The women will compete in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC), featuring eight other schools with established teams. SUNY Cobleskill will begin a national search for a head coach with plans to appoint an individual as soon as possible to begin player recruitment and preparations for the 2024 spring season.  

The Women’s Lacrosse team will utilize training and competition facilities on campus, shared by the Men’s Lacrosse team and the Men’s and Women’s Soccer teams.  

“The NAC is such a good home for us, and our teams have thrived in this conference since we joined. We’ve wanted to get involved in the NAC’s competitive Women’s Lacrosse, so we are beyond excited that this is now a reality,” said Athletics Director Marie Curran-Headley. “Everything is in place for this program to get off to a running start; it’s now just a matter of recruiting the right talent to ensure the short and long-term success of Women’s Lacrosse at SUNY Cobleskill. The consistent, campus-wide support for our athletics is a great sign that this team will be well-positioned to make a name for itself in Division III lacrosse.” 

“As a campus that takes great pride in our student-athletes and celebrates their pursuit of excellence in sport and scholarship, we eagerly await the upcoming season and our chance to rally around our Women’s Lacrosse team,” said SUNY Cobleskill President Marion Terenzio, Ph.D. “Across the board, our athletics programs enjoy our complete faith in representing this College, with confidence in their abilities and those of their teammates. As we welcome a new team and coaching staff, we welcome new standard-bears of a rich athletic tradition shared by all Fighting Tigers and their supporters.”  

SUNY Cobleskill entered the NCAA in 2008 and became a full NCAA Division III institution in 2012. The Fighting Tigers have earned over 20 conference championships in that time. The College currently supports 21 varsity teams, with 18 competing in the NCAA. The Men’s and Women’s Equestrian Hunt Seat compete as members of the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association (IHSA). The College’s Esports team, which was introduced in the 2020-21 season, competes against other public institutions in the SUNY Esports League.

Summer Hoot Music Festival set for Aug. 26-28

Celebrating its 10th year as a highlight of the Northeast music festival circuit, The Summer Hoot will be held Aug. 26-28 at the Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, New York.

To purchase tickets and for information on the festival, venue, camping, lodging, sponsorships and volunteering, visit hoot.love. Children are admitted free. 

 

Produced and hosted by folk-roots musicians Mike Merenda and Ruth Ungar Merenda of The Mammals (aka Mike + Ruthy), the 2022 edition of the compelling and empowering Summer Hoot will feature food, nature, community and performances by nearly two dozen musical acts.

Boasting an environmentally sustainable flair, powered entirely by solar energy and utilizing reusable pint cups to reduce waste, the Summer Hoot promotes inclusivity and a family-friendly, welcoming atmosphere where a diverse crowd comes together annually to enjoy great music.

“The Hoot is where we celebrate what’s good!” said Ruth Ungar Merenda, who in addition to performing in The Mammals serves as Hoot Event Producer and Director of Community Outreach for the Ashokan Center. “It’s not every day that people of all ages can safely explore nature and enjoy new music together, but here at the Hoot that’s just the beginning. This festival lets us share the joy and freedom I was privileged to experience in my own childhood at Ashokan, and keep the party going for generations to come.”

Among the acts scheduled to perform at the 2022 Summer Hoot are:

 

• Naiika Sings, a New York-based singer of the highest order who cut her teeth charming the pants off commuters on the New York City subway.

• Catalan self- taught composer and multi-instrumentalist Lau Noah, who is based in New York City and has built a reputation around “enchanting music lovers one song at a time” (Billboard).

• Six-piece Hudson Valley funk-rock jam band What?

• Hometown fiddling folk legends and visionaries Jay Ungar & Molly Mason.

• The third wave ska band Pilfers, fronted by iconic British-Jamaican vocalist Coolie Ranx.

• Olivia K & the Parkers, the brainchild of Olivia K, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and fearless leader. 

• Acoustic-punk favorite Jeffrey Lewis, praised by Uncut for "his terrific wordplay—sharp, funny, poignant and much more—that really dazzles.” 

• The New York-based City Stompers dance group, presenting high-energy clogging to hot, live hoe-downs.

• Serious Comedy & Juggling, starring Tony Duncan in a dazzling one-man show for all ages.

• The Mammals, torch bearers for American folk music of depth and joy who “are nothing short of sublime” (Americana UK), and bring, “the defiant spirit needed to heal a damaged world” (No Depression).

Past performers at The Summer Hoot (and Winter Hoot) include Pete Seeger, David Bromberg, Natalie Merchant, Ani DiFranco, Amy Helm, Larry Campbell, Teresa Williams, Byron Isaacs, Simi Stone, Dan Bern, AC Newman, Elizabeth Mitchell, Loudon Wainwright III, Dom Flemons, David Bromberg and many others. 

In addition to the live music on two stages, the 2022 Summer Hoot will feature guided hikes to the Ashokan Center’s Cathedral Gorge and historic 1885 Covered Bridge. Between-band speakers will celebrate “nature’s bounty” with information on fungi, foraging, nutrition, fitness and health. The Summer Hoot’s diverse range of programming will also include morning gong baths with Love Waves; all-day kids’ activities in the Kids Zone; blacksmithing; and a square dance.

Camping at the Summer Hoot is available for $50 per site. Hostel-style indoor lodging is available for $50 per bunk, and includes a mattress and pillow. Bunk-sleepers should bring their own toiletries, towel, pillowcase, and bedding or sleeping bag. Saturday and Sunday breakfast is included in the cost of camping and lodging.

Volunteers who work two, four-hour shifts on details that include the main gate, EMT, trash/recycling, parking or kitchen will receive a free weekend pass in exchange for their time.

Advance weekend passes are available for $80. These include admission and guaranteed parking. Day passes and “Pay-What-You-Can” tickets will also be available at the door.

“Taste the Garden” tickets cost $200 and include a weekend pass to the Summer Hoot; VIP donor reception at 4-6 p.m. on Friday evening, with garden tours, live music from Jay Ungar & Molly Mason and friends; and locally-sourced organic hors d'oeuvres and beverages. 

All ticket and festival proceeds will benefit the year-round cultural and environmental education programs at the Ashokan Center, a former field campus for the State University of New York at New Paltz. This site at the foot of the Catskill Mountains, in the heart of New York’s Hudson Valley, inspired legendary fiddle player Jay Ungar to compose the tender tune, “Ashokan Farewell,” which gave tone and texture to the Ken Burns PBS documentary, “The Civil War.”

The Ashokan Center is at 477 Beaverkill Road in Olivebridge, New York, approximately two hours north of New York City, one hour south of Albany, and 20 minutes west of Woodstock. The nearest city is Kingston, New York.

ESTHER BELL PROMOTED TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE CLARK ART INSTITUTE

Williamstown, Massachusetts––Esther Bell, who currently serves as the Robert and Martha Berman Lipp Chief Curator of the Clark Art Institute, has been promoted to Deputy Director. Bell retains her curatorial role and takes on added responsibilities in overseeing the work of the Clark library, supervising visitor services activities, and supporting Director’s Office initiatives.

“In the five years since she joined the Clark’s staff, Esther Bell has proven herself to be an exceptional leader and a trusted colleague, and she brings great ingenuity and creativity to all aspects of her work. I have every confidence that she will manage her additional duties with the same keen eye for detail and deep commitment to the Clark’s mission that has made her such an important part of our team,” said Olivier Meslay, Hardymon Director of the Clark.

Bell joined the Clark staff in 2017 and has since been deeply immersed in the Clark’s special exhibition program as well as managing all aspects of the care, growth, and development of the Clark’s permanent collection. Bell co-curated the 2019 exhibition Renoir: The Body, The Senses, with George T.M. Shackleford, deputy director of the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas, and was heavily involved in all aspects of the Clark’s first outdoor exhibition, Ground/work, which opened in 2020. She is the co-curator of an upcoming exhibition featuring French drawings from the Bibliothèque nationale de France and is preparing a major monographic exhibition for 2024 on Guillaume Guillon-Lethière (1760–1832).

“I am honored to serve as the Clark’s Deputy Director and am deeply committed to collaborating closely with my colleagues across the Institute as we bring new projects and programs to the forefront. The Clark has many exciting plans ahead and I look forward to working with Olivier Meslay, and with the entire Clark team, as we continue the important mission of serving our communities,” said Bell.

In addition to overseeing the Clark’s curatorial staff, Bell supervises the Institute’s Departments of Education and Public Programs. She is also active in several senior management working groups and internal staff committees, including its Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Advisory Group.

In 2020, Bell completed a fellowship at the Center for Curatorial Leadership in New York, a rigorous program designed to identify emerging arts leaders and provide them with the training necessary to prepare them for work in the rapidly evolving cultural climate of the twenty-first century. Bell holds a doctorate in the history of art from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, with a specialization in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century European art. She earned a master’s degree from the Williams College/Clark Graduate Program in the History of Art, and a bachelor’s degree in the history of art from the University of Virginia. She completed a Fulbright Fellowship at the Musée du Louvre in 2003 and has held numerous fellowships.

Before joining the Clark’s staff, Bell served as the curator in charge of European paintings at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Prior to that, she was the curator of European paintings, drawings, and sculpture at the Cincinnati Art Museum. Bell began her career in New York, serving as a research assistant and curatorial fellow at both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Morgan Museum and Library. In 2015, Apollo magazine named Bell as one of the top ten curators in North America under the age of forty.

A Photography Show in The Hudson Valley Examines a Different Side of Cuba, and the Utopian Hope of NFTs

Dancer Osnel Delgado photographed by Laura Diffenderfer 

SAUGERTIES, New York, August 5, 2022 – Artist Laura Diffenderfer offers an exhibition of  photographs, “It Won’t Be This Way Forever,” at Opus 40 in Saugerties, NY August 11– September 30. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, August 13 from 4pm-6pm  (RSVP here). 

The photographs, which feature Cuban dancers, ask viewers to pause in in-between moments— the ones we want to last forever, the ones we want to pass quickly, and moments of 

uncertainty and change. “Many of us feel like we are suspended in time in some kind of  transition right now given Covid-19, which has been particularly destabilizing to the dance  community, and to Cuba,” says Diffenderfer. The photographs feature dancers not on stage,  but in quiet moments of transition in the studio and in the wings of a theater.  

Maria Karla Araujo photographed by Laura Diffenderfer 

Since 2012, Diffenderfer has made more than a dozen trips to Cuba, capturing the movement  and the mood of a group of Havana’s contemporary dancers. This show includes a selection of  intimate photographs of one of Cuba’s best dance troupes — Malpaso Dance Company — taken over several years. 

The show’s title, “It Won’t Be This Way Forever,” also nods to the American understanding of  Cuba—that the island is “suspended in time” due to its 1950s cars and fading pastel building  facades. “In talking with others about Cuba, many people shared that they also hope to visit the  island before it changes. As I came to understand more about Cuba, this sentiment, while  understandable, started to make me uncomfortable. A large part of why Cuba looks so nostalgic  to us is a result of the U.S. Embargo, which prevents trade between the two nations,” says  Diffenderfer. The last time Cuba could import American cars was 1962, when the embargo—the  longest in modern U.S. history—began. 

And, you won’t see pastel colors or classic cars in this series of photographs. Diffenderfer says  she wanted to turn attention toward a resource that Cuba has in spades: extraordinarily special  dancers.  

Malpaso Dance Company photographed by Laura Diffenderfer 

The photographs will be available for purchase, with a portion of each sale benefiting Malpaso  Dance Company, which operates independently from the Cuban government. Two photographs  in the series will be sold as NFTs, as a long-term experiment.  

Further reflecting on our human desire for the everlasting, and the reality that all things are  ever-changing, one pair of photographs in the series will be sold in two different ways: the first  pair as an NFT, and the second through an agreement on paper. Both pairs will be sold with  smart contracts which stipulate how artists will benefit from the first sale, and each future sale  (Malpaso and Diffenderfer will receive percentages each time). One sale will be agreed to by  contract, while the other will be programmed into the NFT, allowing payments to be executed  automatically. This experiment aims to explore which method of exchange will be more reliable  over time. 

“Blockchain—the underlying system through which NFTs are sold—has been referred to as a  new architecture for trust, where ownership of something is not mediated through an  institution, but is logged forever in a ledger that is collectively maintained. It tries to solve the  problem of a lack of trust in institutions and governments with technology. NFTs can be  programmed in interesting ways to provide automatic payments to artists when a work is  resold, allowing them to participate in the art market in new ways. But, how exactly this will all  work in the future is unknown. Will blockchain offer us access to more community, freedom,  and trust? Can we trust computers more than humans—or at least groups more than  individuals? Will blockchain offer artists new ways of creating a sustainable life? Or, is  blockchain most useful as a metaphor for our desire for community, for trust, and for a more  equitable way of organizing resources in society,” says Diffenderfer.  

If this all sounds heady, rest assured that the photographs are poetic not pedantic.  

Caroline Crumpacker, the Executive Director of Opus 40 noted, “We are delighted to showcase  these remarkable photos by Laura Diffenderfer as we close out our 2022 gallery season. Hers is  a deeply thoughtful lens onto a fascinating dance company that we would love to welcome to  Opus 40 at some time in future, hopefully also ushering in a moment of more fluid international  artistic exchange.” 

The exhibition will run from August 11–September 30, 2022. An opening reception will be held  on Saturday, August 13 from 4pm-6pm, including an artist talk, drinks, and music. Tickets to  the reception are offered on a sliding scale. Visit www.opus40.org/events/gallery-openings/ or  email info@opus40.org for more.
