Shalom Gorewitz I’ve been working as an electronic imagist with video and computers since the late 1960’s. During the 1970’s I was a frequent guest at Laneville’s Videofreex/Media Bus facility and during the 1980’s at Owego’s Experimental TV Center. For the past 20+ years I’ve had a personal studio in Chichester where I edit, process, and make soundtracks for digital films, as well as create digital prints and paintings. Audio and visuals often reflect environmental and political concerns. Last year a bear showed up. Dave- are bears allowed on the tour? www.gorewitz.com

Wendy Grossman Owner and designer of Studio 78, Wendy has been a working artist since the age of 15. She has taught at the School of Visual Arts for ten years. She has worked in all media including fabric, wood and clay. Because of this diversity, she brings with her an understanding of how home furnishing can blend , meld. Needing to flow in creative and unique way. Wendy is very conscious of the planet and chooses to use only products that are made from non -threatened trees and recyclable products. To this end she can hold her head up high in the area of art and life, knowing she has done her best to contribute and not to detract.If the product is not affordable, its not sustainable. Wendy employs only local help and wants to promote a healthy environment in which to hire in her community and not be swayed by the lore of cheep labor overseas. Most of her furniture is designed and manufactured by local cabinet makers with accent pieces made in the United States.
Her works reflects her attitude of keeping a positive outlook on life and encouraging growth both spiritual and economic in harmony with her surroundings. Wendy would also like to send a special thank you to her mom for helping Studio 78 be what it is today. Peace and love.

Peggy Kay Making photos give me the freedom to question and respond freely with intention. My formal studies have been in synesthetic education, early childhood education, dance, photography, social work and psychotherapy. I am pulled by human nature life/death, the confrontations and beauty around me. I will be showing photographic masks and macro studies of plants and flowers that have been made by a digital camera and processed with the mac computer.

John Kilb 845-688-2150

John Kilb was born and grew up in Greenwich Village. He was surrounded by the arts both in his neighborhood and at home: his mother was a dancer, singer and painter and his father was a set designer and painter; both worked with Orson Welles at the Mercury Theater. Inevitably,, John became an artist too. He has studied art at NYU, the New School, the Art Students League, and Atelier 17. John traveled and lived in Europe before settling in the Catskills in the early 1960's. He expresses himself in a variety of ways: paintings, drawings, wood bas-relief and sculptures, and constructions. His art reflects his bohemian upbringing and diverse experiences, from a detailed construction of a gritty NYC street scene to a wooden fish beautifully carved and gilded and hanging over a local bar.

Laura Levine  -  Homer & Langley's Mystery Spot Antiques

Described by Country Living magazine as "a love-at-first-sight wonderland of oddball collectibles, vintage clothing, and objects d'art," the Mystery Spot is part store, part museum, part odditorium, and a whole lot of fun! Named for Homer & Langley, the infamous Collyer Brothers, this obsessive and artistic "Shrine to Clutter" is packed to the rafters with unusual antiques, incredible vintage fashions, 1,000's of used records, found objects, mid-century lighting, out of print art books, and downright oddities such as the Creepy Doll Exhibit, Petey the Petrified Piranha, and Desdemona, the Devil Girl of Phoenicia,
Having recently acquired a collection of over 15,000 rock, jazz and C&W records (which we're still sorting through), we can now add "used record store" to our resume. We also feature a selection of original paintings, prints and rock & roll photographs by proprietress/artist Laura Levine, whose work is currently on exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum through January 31.
Levine's work can be purchased at the Mystery Spot or through her online gallery:  www.illogator.com/lauralevine

Ken Lovelett I am a musician that has been building sound sculpture since 1969. This is an art form that not many people in this country are familiar with but is gaining greater recognition and acceptance much the same way photography has over the many years. The pieces that I make are one of a kind and eventually each one is recorded as a solo performance as well as with an ensemble called " The Sonic Liberation Orchesrtra". Many of my creations have been written about or featured in publications here and abroad. The" Sonart Gallery " is a building that I am renovating to showcase not only my work but that of my cohorts around the globe. It will also feature " musicians that are artists as well as artists that are musicians." Dealing with this dichotomy to me is very interesting. Thanks, Ken Lovelett

James Nevin is a new media artist focusing on the conversion of live performance, electronic media, and oral and written narrative. I am currently developing a new form of live electronic performance I call a "realto."
