Current Exhibition February 7 – March 2: Weather Lamps: A Window Exhibition by Jacky Connolly
The Athens Cultural Center presents Weather Lamps, a unique window exhibition featuring the work of Jacky Connolly, a rising star in the Hudson Valley arts scene and a recent contributor to the Whitney Biennial. On view 24/7 from February 7 – March 2, this exhibit highlights Connolly’s distinctive machinima filmmaking technique, using digital environments to explore themes of memory, trauma, and isolation.
3/7 - 3/23 On Beams of Light
On Beams of Light brings together Natalie Boburka, Chris DeMarco, Carole Krinsky, and Enrico Scull, four ACC member artists whose practices navigate the shifting intersections of nature, time, and human connection through material and process. Boburka’s ethereal large-scale works bridge the material and the cosmic, offering layered reflections on spirit and the environment. DeMarco’s photography captures the quiet interplay between decay and renewal, where nature slowly reclaims built spaces. Krinsky’s vibrant, rhythmic dot paintings pulse with energy, celebrating unity, movement, and joy. Scull, a painter and designer deeply rooted in the Hudson Valley, brings a lifelong fascination with nature and history to his evocative renderings of barns and rural landscapes. In dialogue, these works examine the ephemeral and the elemental—light as touch, time as residue, nature as both subject and collaborator. On Beams of Light is a study in interconnectedness, where form and feeling emerge through process, perception, and place.
