Two Albany Art Openings, April 5th at Nine Pin Cider Works

Exciting news all! I'm happy to announce my upcoming show, "House and Home", will be opening next month at Nine Pin Ciderworks in Albany. Information about this show as well as "The Chair Show II", opening the same night, is below. Hope to see you there!

     ​Two art shows open Friday April 5th, 2019 for a reception from 6 to 8 PM at Nine Pin Cider Works in Albany, NY. House and Home features new work by Katherine Chwazik, and is on view in the Tasting Room through May 26th, 2019.  The Chair Show II, a collaborative exhibition between Albany Barn & local artist Tim Fealey, features 17 area artists, and is on view through April 7th, 2019.
​Both shows explore connections between local artists, local history, and a broader community.

    ​In House and Home, Katherine Chwazik debuts new work based in interviews with Albany County residents. She pulls from emotions and recollections shared to create artworks that capture a sense of place unique to each home. Chwazik layers printmaking and sculptural techniques to explore architectural forms that range from urban Albany neighborhoods like Arbor Hill, to more rural towns like Berne.

​    The Chair Show II connects Albany Barn’s history with 17 area artists. Long before Albany Barn moved into 56 Second Street, the historic building was a school known as St. Joseph's Academy. While most of the building looks different now, some of the old wooden school chairs remain, and they've landed in the hands of some of the area's most talented artists for a special collaborative art exhibition between Albany Barn & local artist Tim Fealey, titled THE CHAIR SHOW II. 

Many thanks to Nine Pin Ciderworks, the Arts Center of the Capital Region, and the Decentralization Regrant Program of the NYS Council on the Arts, without which this project and show would not be possible.
