Let's Talk
Symphony Knoll | 15 Mount Airy Road S. | Croton-on-Hudson, NY 10520
May 20, 2026, 7:30 pm
Cornelia Cotton will be on vacation in May and has asked Steve Jacoby to lead Let's Talk
on May 20, at 7:30 pm at Symphony Knoll. It will be a celebration of Sound in Literature
— any kind of literature: poetry, story, lyric, jingle, books for children.
Bring something you love to read out loud (or know by heart) because of the
spooky, delicious, or silly sounds. Sound that doesn’t have meaning or
overwhelms the meaning or is crucial to setting the stage; sounds that thrill,
chill, or make us laugh.
Hysterical Coney Island
The Black Cow and By the Dam Books | 4 Old Post Road South | Croton-on-Hudson, NY 10520
May 28, 2026, 6 pm
Join us for a lively conversation, readings and book signing with Richard Eagan, artist, actor and Hysterical Coney Island activist!
Do we retreat to our studios, or jump in and make a difference?
This vivid memoir tells how two Brooklyn artists and their peers helped revive Coney Island at a time of decline in the late 1970s.
Founding the Hysterical Society in 1981, they struck a spark that would grow to become a creative
movement that historian Charles Denson calls “The Artists’ Renaissance” in Coney Island.
Blending studio practice with life on the boardwalk, this is a personal story of art, community and cultural renewal — featuring contributions
from Harvey Fierstein, Richard Snow, Ann Aptaker and Aaron Beebe.

Our World, Our Views and Behind the Lens
During March and April of 2026, CCoA ran a juried art show
(called
Women's Viewpoints: Our World, Our Views) and a photography show (called Women Behind the Lens) at the Croton Free Library.
It was sad to see these exhibitions taken down,
but we have a video of the paintings for those who could not see it,
and we will be posting it on CCoA's website.
We would like to extend another round of thanks to Valerie Leis and Robin Schwamb,
to all the artists and photographers,
and to the Croton Free Library and the Gallery for providing the locations for these wonderful exhibitions.

Viva the Divas
Croton Free Library | 171 Cleveland Drive | Croton-on-Hudson, NY 10520
May 31, 2 pm
Viva the Divas is a fun yet enlightening musical revue directed by Fran DiSarro,
and starring Garrison resident, songstress and thespian, Goldee Greene.
It celebrates several goddesses of the lyric art. Each has her own signature style,
schtick—or both: Ethel Waters’s 1920’s flapper garb,
Bessie Smith’s theatrical antics, Mae West’s arch, suggestive banter,
Marlene Dietrich’s top hat and attitude. And of course, Billie Holiday’s white gardenia,
as well as the glittering crown perched on the lovely head of Queen of the Blues Dinah Washington.
Shades of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Eartha Kitt, Lena Horne, and Edith Piaf also grace the stage.
And count on at least one operatic diva character to jump in.
Award-winning Music Director Tom McCoy will accompany the stellar David Winograd on bass.
Musical fare includes standard songs ranging from the 1920s through the fifties,
as well as a couple of originals.

Apply Now for DRIFT
BAU 2026 Annual Juried Open Call
Entry deadline: midnight, June 20, 2026
Show dates: August 7, 2026–September 6, 2026
To drift is to let go, to surrender to a current; it is a state of being in slow motion.
To drift is the serene space between leaving and arriving.
DRIFT, our annual juried open + awards exhibition, asks you to explore gradual movement,
whether through physical displacement or the wandering of thoughts or ideas.
DRIFT investigates what happens when we let go.
It examines the marks left behind by that which has passed or the blurring of memory.
BAU (Beacon Artist Union) Gallery invites artists 18+ to apply with work that relates to visual interpretations of DRIFT.
All media accepted.

The Midnight Garden — NYC Pop-Up Exhibition
Curated by Jessica Libor
Deadline to appply: May 31, 2026 11:59 pm
The Midnight Garden centers on themes of cultivation, transformation, and unseen
processes of growth. Framed as a space of quiet unfolding, the garden becomes a
metaphor for creative practice and emotional life, where cycles of blooming,
decay and renewal coexist.
We’re seeking work that speaks to or challenges these ideas, interpreted through each
artist’s lens.
Selected work will be featured in a pop-up exhibition in New York City this
summer, including an opening reception and programming throughout the show.
Artists will also be highlighted in New Visionary Magazine,
with all featured work available on Artsy through Warnes Contemporary.
