Join us on First Friday, September 4 from 6-9PM for the opening reception of Remembering Ruby, on view at Artisan Gallery through September 26.

Ruby H. Wang (1932-2018) was a treasured member of our community as an artist, a teacher, a mentor, and a dear friend of the Bowen family. Ruby’s style incorporates traditional Chinese watercolor painting with French impressionism and traditional Chinese subject matter with American spatial sensibilities.

Thanks to the generosity of the Bowen family, Bertram Wang, FASST, and IBM, this special exhibition includes many paintings on public view for the first time ever, encompassing many periods of Ruby’s work from the early 1970’s to her more contemporary pieces. We are truly honored to present this rare and intimate collection of Ruby H. Wang’s watercolors.

Last weekend to view the whimsical illustrations of Summer Art Exhibition: Works by Suzi Meka, on view at Art Path Gallery through August 29. Visit Tues-Sat 11-3 and Thurs 11-8.

Suzi Meka is an artist and graphic designer based in Vestal, NY, known for her vibrant, imaginative works that blend storytelling, color, and emotion. Her creative practice spans digital illustration, mixed media, and conceptual design, often inspired by nature, everyday humor, and the small moments that spark joy. Suzi’s work reflects her belief that art should uplift, surprise, and connect people.

Artist Statement: My artwork is rooted in imagination, color, and the joy found in everyday moments. I create pieces that blend humor, nature, and storytelling, inviting viewers to pause, smile, and reconnect with the lighter side of life. Each work begins with a spark — a thought, a memory, or a scene that feels worth celebrating — and evolves into a visual narrative meant to uplift and inspire. Through digital and mixed‑media techniques, I explore how art can brighten a space, shift a mood, and remind us that creativity is a powerful source of connection.

Details from soft landings by Colette Chermak need to be seen in person! Join us tonight for an artist talk at 6:30PM. On view at Artisan Gallery through August 29.

soft landings contemplates the complexity of violence. Using environmental and cultural imagery, the work implies sociopolitical warnings and observes how these pervasive transmissions manifest in domestic life. Ultimately, the work challenges differences in perception while remaining curious to how citizen bodies are influenced.

Artist Bio: Colette Chermak is a multimedia artist and public school teacher native to Binghamton. Coupled with teaching, Colette actively pursues a career in the arts. She regularly exhibits throughout Broome County and wider Upstate New York.
