This year’s judges are multi-faceted artists PETER MONACELLI, and KATHY ARMSTRONG. By trade, Monacelli is a well-known artist, but he is also a carpenter, teacher, contractor, musician and philosopher. He has been involved with many downtown Rochester renovations, including the Little Theater and the rehearsal space for the Bucket Dance Theater. As an artist, Peter primarily works with drawing media. He has been recognized and respected as a “patron of the arts” for his commitment to the arts and his volunteer work for nonprofit agencies. He was inducted into the Monroe Community College Alumni Hall of Fame in 2012 and is listed in Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. He has had more than 50 one-person art shows and received many artistic awards including the SUNY Empire State College Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Arts, 2015. He has taught art at MCC where he was promoted to adjunct assistant professor in 2003. Trained in the visual and graphic arts, Armstrong grew up in upstate NY. She is primarily self-taught in watercolor, but has studied under Colorado artist, Julia Jordan. She is also skilled in acrylic, oil, and plein air painting, especially painting in the Finger Lakes area. Trying to capture light, whether intense or subtle, is the driving force behind her love of creating art. Kathy shows her work regionally and nationally. She won the Alice E. Koret Award for her watercolor at the MAG’s Finger Lakes Exhibit. In honor of recently deceased members, Dean Joy, Doris Sauter, Marlyn Mosca and Fran Mascari, there will be a special memorial exhibit. The newly created Mascari Awards to be given this year are named after Fran. Artist awards will be presented during the Opening Reception on Thursday, April 16 from 7 to 8:45 PM. As in previous years, there will be a “Meet the Artists Day” on Saturday, April 18, beginning at 1 PM. Several artists will speak for up to 10 minutes about their entries and field questions.

NOTE: Irondequoit Art Club announces cancellation of the March 24 business meeting and speaker (Dejan Pejovic) which had been scheduled at Chapel Oaks at 7pm. Cancellaion is due to precautions being taken during the corona-virus situation. Rochester sculptor and art instructor, DEJAN PEJOVIC, will present a slideshow entitled “Artistic Creativity, Processes, Themes and Trends” at the Tuesday, March 24, 2020 meeting of the Irondequoit Art Club to be held 7:30 PM at Chapel Oaks, St. Ann’s Community, 1550 Portland Ave., Rochester, NY 14621, after the club’s 7 PM business meeting. (Enter St. Ann’s Campus and bear left following signs to the main entrance of Chapel Oaks.) There is no charge for this event and the site is accessible to all. Dejan will present a bit of his past work with a greater focus on his most recent projects and will talk about his creative process, themes and current trends in art. He currently teaches ceramic and figure sculpture, observational drawing and relief sculpture at the Memorial Art Gallery’s Creative Workshop. He will encourage questions about his work, and since he presently teaches drawing will also welcome discussion of that facet of his experience. Dejan had a European infused background which contributed to his aesthetic outlook. His family settled in Irondequoit when he was 10 years old after much moving around. Since he was good with his hands, he naturally gravitated to making things. Art was the family business. His father had a background in graphic design and opened a gallery. Dejan and his sister, Lanna, a painter, encouraged each other in their artistic endeavors. Dejan studied art in Rochester, London and Toronto. He settled back here in 1981 and has been working and teaching here ever since. He currently works mostly with clay. He can be contacted at [email protected] |
