Date: April 11 through May 17, 2009 
The Hudson Valley Seed Library (HVSL) is excited to have its first gallery show of original heirloom artwork created for its seed packs. Curated by HVSL co-founder Ken Greene, this colorful collection of artwork celebrates the diversity of New York's heirloom vegetables, flowers, and herbs. The show, which will transform the walls of the Catskill Mountain Foundation into a verdant spring garden, features fourteen works of art by eleven New York artists including Michael Asbill, Nancy Blum, Ryan Cronin, Jenny Lee Fowler, Ayumi Horie, Dani Leventhal, Cassie Quackenbush, Sarah Snow, Michael Truckpile and Cynthia Winika. The artists featured in the show were commissioned by HVSL to create cover art for the company's seed packaging. Mediums include painting, drawing, collage, paper cutting, ceramics, photography, printmaking, and digital imaging. Two additional pieces accompany each original artwork. One is a framed Art Pack, the shape and layout of which were created by Gardiner-based package design company Treeo Design. The other is a vintage image of the variety taken from HVSL's collection of antique New York seed catalogs. Limited edition prints of the artwork will be for sale. On Saturday, April 11, at 5pm Ken Greene will give a guided tour of the show. Greene will share the stories behind the seeds and artwork and talk about the mission of the Seed Library. The Hudson Valley Seed Library, which got its start at the Gardiner Library, is now a small homestead-based seed company in Accord, New York, run by Greene and partner Doug Muller. The HVSL catalog focuses on New York heirlooms and open-pollinated, non-GMO varieties that do well in the Northeast. Some of the seeds are available nowhere else. In addition to an online catalog HVSL offers a Seed Library membership program. The Seed Library's long-term goal is to offer an accessible and affordable source of 100% regionally grown seed.

Pack Art: Heirloom Garden Images Past and Present
Date: April 11 through May 17, 2009
The Hudson Valley Seed Library (HVSL) is excited to have its first gallery show of original heirloom artwork created for its seed packs. Curated by HVSL co-founder Ken Greene, this colorful collection of artwork celebrates the diversity of New York's heirloom vegetables, flowers, and herbs. The show, which will transform the walls of the Catskill Mountain Foundation into a verdant spring garden, features fourteen works of art by eleven New York artists including Michael Asbill, Nancy Blum, Ryan Cronin, Jenny Lee Fowler, Ayumi Horie, Dani Leventhal, Cassie Quackenbush, Sarah Snow, Michael Truckpile and Cynthia Winika. The artists featured in the show were commissioned by HVSL to create cover art for the company's seed packaging. Mediums include painting, drawing, collage, paper cutting, ceramics, photography, printmaking, and digital imaging. Two additional pieces accompany each original artwork. One is a framed Art Pack, the shape and layout of which were created by Gardiner-based package design company Treeo Design. The other is a vintage image of the variety taken from HVSL's collection of antique New York seed catalogs. Limited edition prints of the artwork will be for sale. On Saturday, April 11, at 5pm Ken Greene will give a guided tour of the show. Greene will share the stories behind the seeds and artwork and talk about the mission of the Seed Library. The Hudson Valley Seed Library, which got its start at the Gardiner Library, is now a small homestead-based seed company in Accord, New York, run by Greene and partner Doug Muller. The HVSL catalog focuses on New York heirlooms and open-pollinated, non-GMO varieties that do well in the Northeast. Some of the seeds are available nowhere else. In addition to an online catalog HVSL offers a Seed Library membership program. The Seed Library's long-term goal is to offer an accessible and affordable source of 100% regionally grown seed.

Valencia Opera: BENVENUTO CELLINI
In Hi-Def at the Mountain CinemaDate: Saturday, May 2 at 8pm 
Hector Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini, a French opera written in the 1830s, is so complex, richly detailed and prolifically imaginative that Berlioz's contemporaries often considered it unplayable. However, this is resoundingly proven false in the 2007 Salzburg Festival production of director Philipp Stölzl, conductor Valery Gergiev ("the wild man of music") and a high-caliber cast accompanied by the Vienna Philharmonic and its chorus. Called "the surprise hit of this year's Salzburg festival" (Bloomberg), the production met with rave reviews. The opera tells the story of Pope Clement VII who requests a statue from the Sculptor Benvenuto Cellini. However, Balducci wants Fieramosca as the sculptor and to marry his daughter Teresa, who is in love with Cellini. When Cellini attempts to escape with Teresa he stabs a man. He is given an offer by the Pope: finish the statue that night or hang. Cellini does finish and him and Teresa marry.

Art Talk
with Tabitha Gilmore-BarnesDate: May 9 at 1:00pm Tabitha Gilmore-Barnes' hand woven blankets, table linens, and tapestries are made from the handspun and hand dyed wools bought from local Alpaca and Shetland breeders and are inspired by the seasonal colors viewed from her studio in Denver, NY. She rarely repeats the same weaving pattern in her products, so each is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Her craft combines the artisans' traditions of hand spinning and dyeing, with the technology of an AVL loom. She teaches spinning and weaving, lectures and exhibits widely in the Catskills, the Adirondacks, the Albany area and New York City. She will be in the Kaaterskill Fine Arts Gallery on Saturday, May 9th from 1-2 p.m. to demonstrate her skill and talk about her art. Join us for an informal and enjoyable discussion.

LARA ST. JOHN, violin Program: Canadian-born violinist Lara St. John has been called a "high-powered soloist" by the New York Times, while the Los Angeles Times has written, "St. John brings to the stage personal charisma, an unflagging musical imagination and genuine passion." She has performed as a soloist with major orchestras around the world, and her recitals have included concert halls in New York, Boston, San Francisco, Ravinia, Washington DC, Prague, Berlin, Toronto, Montreal, and Beijing. Lara St. John's debut CD, Bach: Works for Violin Solo, has sold over 40,000 copies and received resounding acclaim. The Chicago Tribune described Ms. St. John as having "superb technique and an irresistible vitality," while U.S. News & World Report called the recording "an exquisite performance". Her third recording, Bach: the Concerto Album, appeared in the "strongly recommended" section of Gramophone, and when it was released on iTunes in June 2005 it immediately became No. 1 in the classical category. Lara has also recorded for Sony Classical, and has been featured in People, U.S. News & World Report, on CNN's "Showbiz Today", and NPR's "All Things Considered", Fox News, CBC and a Bravo Special: "Live at the Rehearsal Hall." Her latest recording, Bach: The Six Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo, described as "awe-inducing" by the Toronto Star, was released exclusively on iTunes in September 2007. Pianist and composer Martin Kennedy received his doctorate in composition from The Juilliard School where he studied with Samuel Adler and Milton Babbitt. He has received numerous awards, including the BMI Student Composer Award, five ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards, the 1999 ASCAP Raymond Hubbel Award, and the Indiana University Dean's Prize in composition in both 1998 and 2002.

John has been a member of the Catskill Mountain Chapter of Trout Unlimited since the early 1970s and feels privileged to have "rubbed shoulders" with a number of fly fishing icons, including Art Flick, West Drake, J. Michael Migel, and Ray Smith. John has fished in the Catskills for over 35 years and he relates his experiences on its waters in his guidebook, A Fly-fisherman's Guide to Catskill Coldwater Streams and Ponds: Their Histories, Their Fish, and Techniques to Catch Them, published in 2008, an outgrowth of his chapters on Catskill rivers in his earlier book, Northeast Trout, Salmon and Steelhead Streams: Every River Has a Story.
