Link to Application /form/260484642580157 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 call + 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.

Stillness Speaks an exhibition by Soli Pierce, honors stillness as a way of navigating uncertainty and reawakening vitality and possibility. The installation invites a reverence in which light operates as both medium and metaphor, in which Pierce opens a space for quiet contemplation. #mixedmediasculpture #sculpture #contemporaryart #contemporarysculpture Image @solipierce Rising Series

A huge thank you to everyone who came @baugallery this past weekend to celebrate the opening of three shows, BAU Invitational, Surprise Garden @karen.allen.artist and Stillness Speaks. I’m deeply honored and grateful to the friends, collectors, and supporters who came from near and far to experience Stillness Speaks, my installation dedicated to the memory of Mark Goldfarb. @joanwilson99 One of the threads that runs through this exhibition is love. Love for my dear friend, love for the planet, the natural elements are part of my practice, it nurtures and sustain us, and love expressed through community, connection, and care. In that spirit, a percentage of proceeds from works sold will be donated to @transformationkitchenorg Transformation Kitchen, a new nonprofit in Beacon founded by my friend at @hudsonvalleykitchen , and dedicated to helping transform the lives of marginalized populations through viable employment opportunities. Thrilled the big piece in window found a home opening night. Ty. The opening also ended with a heartfelt surprise: a visit from fellow @thecritlab @elizabethmlindy , who rushed over from her own wonderful show to offer her well wishes at the very end of the evening. I’m feeling blessed beyond measure. BAU gives us complete freedom and unrestricted opportunity to dream, and invent. Fortunately I have had the curatorial vision of Karlyn @kb_creativeconsulting , her steady hard allows me have the inner space for next steps. This is my 3rd project with her, she helps me thread the needle. Ty Karlyn, my art anchor. I hope you’ll come visit Stillness Speaks when you can truly be with the stillness and quiet of the experience, and find your own still point. My artist talk will be held on June 7 at 4pm with Carol @bouyoucos , who is part of our BUA Invitational, and recently installed 9 Arches Waterfront @peekskillartsalliance I’ll also share when I’ll be gallery sitting, and I look forward to welcoming you back. #sculpture #photography #hudsonvalleyartists #beaconarts #environmentalart
