You are invited to participate in the Second Scheduled Sketch Workshop, March 16, 2017, with a professional model and explore Steven Shearer's multifaceted drawing techniques reflecting the history of portraiture and figuration.
Sketch Night at The Brant Foundation is free of charge and open to artists of all ages and experience levels. Participants are invited to sketch from a professional model in one of the foundation’s gallery spaces, which currently houses an exhibition by Steven Shearer.
• Uninstructed • Free of Charge • Professional Nude Model • Bring your own Materials
Shearer’s work draws upon a visual lexicon of portraiture and representation of the body, often using found imagery that he collects and archives as source material. Through this process, contemporary imagery is distilled into the tradition of portraiture revealing affinities between various modes of figuration throughout history to the present.
Steven Shearer on view at The Brant Foundation through March 2017.
This workshop focuses on the dialogue that exists between Shearer’s formal drawings, preparatory sketches and finished paintings and invites participants to explore the same in their own artistic practice.

If you appreciate visual art and aesthetics—then you absolutely must watch the new Netflix original docu-series “Abstract: The Art of Design.”
The newly minted 8-episode series follows “eight of the most creative thinkers and imaginative minds working in the world of art and design today,” and ever since it came out on Netflix we’ve been receiving email, after tip, after Facebook message about it. Now that we’ve gotten around to actually watching it, we could not recommend it more highly.
Even though only one of the eight episodes follows a photographer—world-famous portrait photographer Platon—all eight are worth binge watching your way though immediately. They will give you a new appreciation for the creative process, inspire you to take your own work to the next level and leave you amped up to go out and create something new right away.
There’s not much more we look for from a documentary series, much less one that isn’t even about photography in particular, but about the much broader pursuits of “design” and “art.”
Check out the series trailer up top; if you’re a Netflix subscriber, you can watch all 8 episodes right now at this link.
Post Road Brew House is a casual, contemporary American beer-driven pop-up restaurant combining seasonal Hudson Valley cuisine with classic European gastro-classics.
The Post Road Brew House serves as an extension of the Brewery at the CIA offering an extensive beer menu including CIA brews, local craft beers alongside Hudson Valley wines and spirits and gastro pub fare.
The a-la-carte menu, created by Executive Chef and Assistant Professor Theo Roe, includes a mix of casual and classic appetizers, entrees and sides designed to pair perfectly with the beer selection. With an emphasis on seasonal Hudson Valley ingredients, American comfort dishes like Pastrami Reuben Sandwich, The Post Road Burger, and Deviled Eggs are balanced out by European gastro-classics like Housemade Charcuterie, Classic Cassoulet, and Fish & Chips.
The beer menu at Post Road Brew House has been curated by the CIA's head brewer, Hutch Kugeman, working closely with the chef. On tap, eight draught beers are featured, including those made by the Brewery at the CIA, and others through collaboration with New York State breweries. Among the selections on the opening menu are the Cleaver IPA (6.7% abv) and Mise en Place Wit (4.6% abv), both of which are staples from the Brewery at the CIA. The Beefsteak Blonde (5.7% abv) is a traditional German-style Kolsch. The latest beer from the Brewery's Art and Science of Brewing class is the Wee Chef Scotch Ale (7.5% abv). The Smash Stout (6.0% abv) brewed with Indian Lager Farmstead in Altamont, NY and C.H. Evans Brewing in Albany, as well as a not-yet-named Pilsner brewed with Community Beer Works of Buffalo, NY, will also be served.
Located within the former St. Andrew's Café, the bar at Post Road Brew House is the star of the room. The decor throughout the restaurant is contemporary with an eclectic mix of new, found and repurposed furnishings that reference brewery culture, CIA history and Hudson Valley agriculture.
Post Road Brew House is open from February 16 to June 15, 2017 for dinner and March 24 to May 4 for lunch. Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins for the bar or dining room are also welcome.
