Kingston is a little Hudson River city situated between the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains. Surrounded by natural beauty, Kingston also has the asset of an active and involved arts community, even in the days of social distancing. This weekend, September 26th and 27th, Kingston is hopping with so much art to see.

When we all work together, great things happen!

Team Bailey
Bailey Sponsored commUNITY Clay Project!
It all began with the question of how to engage our community in the arts for the Midtown Art District's annual Celebration of the Arts and follow the CDC's Covid-19 guidelines. The commUNITY Clay Project was created and we began figuring out how to get clay into the hands of the Kingston community.
Bailey's Brian Recchia extruded 850 pounds of Brooklyn Red, Standard 308, into one inch coils during the month of August.
MAD volunteers, Eugenie Chau and Susan Whelan sliced each extrusion into four-inch pugs and handwrapped each pug in plastic bags.
We distributed the clay pugs through two pickup/drop off locations, Community Partners, and weekend workshops. The response from everyone who participated was very enthusiastic. Everyone loves clay and it was great to see the wide variety of interpretation and creativity. We call these creations puggles!

We retrieved all the puggles from around town and they moved on to their next challenge...trial by fire!
The Bailey workroom's Programmable Gas Kiln fired several hundred puggles. Two more smaller loads were fired in electric kilns. The Bailey wood room created a display and the commUNITY Clay Project has come together for display in window of the new MAD location at 20 Cedar Street in the new Energy Square building.

The exhibition will be on view from the window or by appointment this weekend through the month of October. Stop by if you're in town!

“For those of us living far from our places of origin creating colorful expressions of art can help preserve our personal and cultural identities while maintaining a bond to the lives we knew. It also lets us explore, decide, declare, express, experience and question ideas about our identities over time.”
-Marielena Ferrer

The exhibition features Ferrer’s paintings, wire sculptures and an artist’s book.
