Curator-Led Tour of Arlene Shechet: Girl Group at Storm King Art Center
Explore one of this year’s most notable exhibitions with ArtTable during Upstate Art Weekend! Join us at Storm King Art Center for a private tour of Arlene Shechet: Girl Group with Eric Booker, Associate Curator at Storm King and co-curator of the exhibition. Surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Hudson Valley, we will encounter six monumental sculptures, created by Shechet in aluminum and stainless steel for Storm King’s exhibition. Painted in subtle gradations of color that evoke the impact of light and the elements of nature on manmade objects, Shechet’s towering sculptures interrogate the overwhelmingly masculine history of their genre. Girl Group continues in Storm King’s indoor galleries, where smaller ceramic works from Shechet’s Together series illustrate the artist’s iterative process of making and reshaping the forms she would ultimately express on a monumental scale.Please note: ArtTable will gather at 12:00 PM to allow adequate time to walk to the exhibition site prior to the 12:30 PM tour. Admission to Storm King Art Center is included with registration.

‘Smallest arts centre in the world’ pleased with ‘really great’ start since joining Northampton Market Square
The ‘smallest arts centre in the world’ is pleased with its “really great” start over the past four months since joining Northampton’s newly refurbished Market Square.
The Creative Place – a space for aspiring and established creatives, or anyone who wants to learn more about the arts across the county – emerged at the heart of the town centre in September last year.
At eight o’clock on the second friday of each month, at South Street Arts Centre in Reading, The Poets Cafe assembles in a warmly lit room, all faces turned like sunflowers, to the reader on the stage.
The Poets Cafe is Reading’s longest running poetry night and it continues each month to bring writers together to listen and learn from one another’s work.
Every month, a new guest poet is invited to share their work with the room. These are established poets, often reading from published collections and anthologies of their own.

Rodin-themed art center to open in Shanghai, featuring iconic works of legendary French sculptor
In soft, ambient lighting, “The Thinker” rests his fist against his chin, lost in profound contemplation. Just a few steps away, “Balzac” stands tall, head held high. These masterpieces, crafted by the legendary French artist Auguste Rodin, are quietly placed at an exhibition hall in Shanghai, inviting local visitors on a journey through the splendor of 19th-century French art.
The exhibition Rodin: A Hinge Figure towards Modernity will kick off on Saturday as the opening exhibition of the much-anticipated Centre d’ Art Rodin, or Rodin art center in Shanghai, a key cultural exchange project under the theme of the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic ties this year.
