Kingston, NY – The Arts Society of Kingston is pleased to present two visual art exhibitions in March: Regatta, a solo sculpture exhibition from Jay Lalonde and Artifactual/Cutup, our monthly Members Exhibition. These two exhibitions will be featured at the ASK galleries at 97 Broadway in Kingston from March 6th through March 27th.

Regatta is a series of intricate, wall-hanging sculptures. Inspired by his appreciation for the Hudson River and the art of sailing, these stainless steel creations are evocative of the wind and waves, and of the ships that navigate them.

Jay Lalonde is an artist from Ulster Park NY with an avid interest in sailing, the Hudson River, and sculpture. Lalonde’s interest in art began at a young age when he started drawing, then building models, and then bicycles. When he was twelve years old his mom had him take an adult studio Art class. This began a journey of realization that his thoughts when put into drawings, paintings, and sculptures were special. In his 20’s Jay took a job at Tallix Art Foundry in Beacon NY and began working with artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Alexander Lieberman, David Cerulli, Greg Wyatt, and Frank Stella. He has worked with Frank Stella for the past 30 years on endless works and projects, and has been truly inspired by Frank Stella and many other artists. With these influences his work has progressed from drawings to paintings to sculpture. 

ASK’s Members Exhibition this month is Artifactual/Cutup. Every month ASK provides a prompt for our members to respond to and this March we asked our members to examine the objects around them, dissect their preconceptions and to draw inspiration from what lies beneath.

ASK is located at 97 Broadway in Kingston, NY. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturday 1– 6 pm, and by appointment. For additional information please contact Brent Felker, 845.338.0333
