LIBERTY, NY (June 21, 2013) – Green Door Magazine, a quarterly magazine distributed throughout the Catskills and Hudson Valley in upstate New York, will hold an art exhibition at their new office on Main Street in Liberty.
The Exhibit, which is titled “Change – A World in Motion,” will run through August 25.
Green Door focuses on the benefits of country living in a socially conscious society, and the exhibition is filled with contemporary art and sculpture from many local artists on the effects of our interaction with nature.
“Our goal was to highlight the best statements from our creative community on our ecosystems, particularly the risks of climate change and resource exploitation,” said Akira Ohiso, Editor of Green Door. “The imaginations of these concerned artists and the newly-opened gallery space provided an opportunity for a social statement and fascinating visual expression,” he added.
The exhibit features a selection of some of the best of the Catskills and Hudson Valley’s current working artists, ranging from young, emerging artists to mature, established artists such as: Trey Speegle, Ryan Cronin, Zac Shavrick, Naomi Teppich, Richard J. Kreznar, William Landau, Andrea Brown, Nancy Lee Lew, Steven Erdman, Brian Caiazza, Brandi Merolla, Charles Hadley Blanchard, Greg Frederick and Claudine Luchsinger.
The Hudson Valley has long been a place of intense artistic activity since the middle of the 19th century, when the Hudson River School became a popular new art movement. That tradition continues today with hundreds of artists exploring and re-interpreting the current landscape through paintings, sculpture, mixed media and photography.
The opening event for the gallery exhibition is scheduled for Friday, July 19, at 6:00 p.m. Admission is free.
At the opening, there will be a spontaneous musical performance by the Human Lard Dog. A limited edition “Frack No!” poster by artist Trey Speegle, printed by Echo Letterpress, will be available for sale, with those proceeds going to support Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy. Food for the event will be provided by Natural Contents, and flowers by Earthgirl Flowers.
The gallery is located at 34 S. Main Street, Liberty, NY. For more information, call 845-55-GD-MAG.

First of all….what a beautiful, refreshing store front!! Hopefully, with the Musuem, the new Cyber Cafe and the other more recent neighboring stores, we will see a resurgence that will continue up the street.
I note that the Sullivan County Legislature has just printed a wonderful SMALL BUSINESS ROAD MAP……which will be a tremendous help to other new businesses with a dream. Go to http://www.sullivan.co.ny.us and click on Business.
Welcome to South Main Street, Mr. and Mrs. Ohiso. As a life-long Liberty resident I am so happy that you are here and that you intend to make a difference. I hope to meet you both shortly.
