We will be using the creative process established by David Jacob Duke in our upcoming kids classes. This is a great way to walk the artist through the process in a confident and achievable way! I learned about the process during his interview on Collector Quests earlier this year and it has helped myself and my son in our creative journey, so much so, that we want to use it in our community classes. In addition to DUKES artwork on display we will have over 50 sketch card artists from around the world on exhibit to inspire.

It's finally here!! The Others Before Self Exhibit at GRIT Gallery - Opening 9/12/26 from 1pm-7pm.

We are proud to release our fall schedule for Free Youth Sketch Classes!

The exhibit will showcase over 100 Sketch Card Art Pieces donated to the program, as well as on loan from private collections.

The Students can find their favorite artist's style within the exhibit, scan a QR code where they can hear positive encouragement from the artist themselves (via Collector Quests Artist Interviews on YOUTUBE) and create up to 2 cards per class.

Artist: Kahori Kamiya “Darling, Stay Close”

Kahori Kamiya’s paintings and sculptures explore an otherworldly sense of collective memory, quiet longing, and the unseen emotional layers carried through one’s body; these core themes are present in her new exhibit, “Darling, Stay Close,” Kamiya’s works invite viewers into a space where closeness is felt rather than declared, shaped by a quiet depth in layers that settle beneath the surface and a sense of distance that feels almost touchable, yet remains just out of reach.

As its title declares, the exhibition centers on the word “Darling,” a term that carries a wide emotional range. Beyond romantic affection, it can be addressed to a child, a memory, a ghost or ancestor, an inner voice, or even a voice from nature. It’s a tender call whose recipient is never fully defined, and this ambiguous intimacy forms the conceptual core of the exhibition.

ARTIST: RUBEN TOMAS - “IN BETWEEN”

Ruben Tomas is a photographer who works on a level above instinct. His subjects are not people, natural landscapes, or animals. Rather, his subject is the elusive connection between himself and what is going on around him. Inner lives seem to appear along the surfaces of bodies: eyes in partial shadow, wet hair giving temporary dimension to a face as it is drying, a mask that shows more than it hides. Ruben’s signature style is unmistakable.

Grand Opening July 18th 3pm-7pm - GRIT GALLERY Newurgh

The show features paintings and sculptures by artist Kahori Kamiya, whose work dissolves the boundaries between self, memory, and other. A co-exhibition features the work of Spanish photographer Ruben Tomas: provocative storytelling through the lens of soulful intuition.
