MILLBROOK — A  reception was held at the opening of the exhibit of Millbrook artist June Glasson’s works at the Millbrook Library on Saturday, Nov. 5.

More than 60 people attended the exhibit, a marriage of Glasson’s many different styles, a mix of serious portraits and fantasy figures, engaging, and well worth perusing.

Library Director Courtney Tshalis was pleased with the turnout. Glasson shared stories of her works with friends, fellow artists, and the many who attended who had heard of Glasson’s work. She also teaches, and while she relishes her times of solitude in her studio, she is firmly embedded in the community as well, and feels her work highlights her interest in individuals and the community, how she sees them and how they see themselves. Wine and light refreshments were served. The exhibit will be on display through November.

Vincent Inconiglios brings ‘Face Time’ to Hunt Library
Artist Vincent Inconiglio’s show “Face Time” opens Oct. 25 at the Hunt Library.
L. Tomaino

Abstract artist Vincent Inconiglios' love and enthusiasm for color and form are evident all around him at his Falls Village studio, where he has worked for 25 years. He is surrounded by paintings large and small, woodcuts, photographs, collages and arrays of found objects.

The objects Inconiglios has found while out walking — in Falls Village, near his studio on Gansevoort Street in New York City, and in other places throughout the world — hold special importance to him. Appreciation of them, he says, comes from “seeing while exploring. I am always finding things.” His particular delight is finding objects that look like faces, many of which will be featured in the ArtWall show at the Hunt Library.
