Dates and Times: Gallery Hours – Starting 1/31 through 3/6
Monday-Saturday 10AM-4PM Location: Bethany Arts Center, 40 Somerstown Rd, Ossining
We Were Here From the Beginning
In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Bethany Arts Community’s 6th Annual Award-winning Black History & Culture Exhibit: Revolutionary Legacies. explores how African Americans have defined, and redefined freedom from 1776 to today. Each gallery is rooted in a line from the Declaration of Independence, showing how Black people have continually challenged the nation to live up to its founding ideals.
Through art, artifacts, photography, storytelling, and interactive installations, this exhibit honors the spirit of revolution, resilience, and representation that continues to shape our culture. From the battlefield to the way we dressed to command dignity, from innovation to influence, Black Americans have been, and remain, the true trendsetters of freedom and style.
Curated by Ossining Village Historian, Joyce Sharrock Cole.

Black History Month Celebration in Tarrytown
* * * * * * *
March is Women’s History Month, and on Sunday, March 8, RiverArts is proud to celebrate International Women’s Day with a special chamber music program highlighting works exclusively by women composers, spanning nearly two centuries—from 1846 to 2023.
The program features music by Fanny Mendelssohn, Amy Beach, Mel Bonis, and contemporary composers Jennifer Higdon, Reena Esmail, and Andrea Cassarubios.
Though separated by two hundred years, each of these trailblazing women broke barriers in a male-dominated field, creating music that ranges from the height of the Romantic era to some of today’s most evocative works.
Performed by The Solace Trio—April Johnson (violin), RiverArts chamber music director Peter Seidenberg (cello), and Tomoko Uchino (piano)—this intimate concert will take place inside Ardsley's Saint Barnabas Episcopal Church.
Join us for this one-of-a-kind celebration of women’s artistry and musical legacy.
Please note: This 70-minute program will be performed without breaks for applause.
Tickets: $40

Pocantico Center Presents: Shen Wei: Still/Moving
Date/Time: October 18, 2025–April 18, 2026, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11 AM-3 PM Location: The Pocantico Center, 200 Lake Rd.
Tarrytown, NY 10591
Shen Wei: Still/Moving commemorates thirty years of Shen Wei’s visionary career as a dancer, choreographer, visual artist, filmmaker, and global cultural ambassador. This joint exhibition of The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Katonah Museum of Art will illuminate the full scope of the artist’s trailblazing practice, offering viewers access to Shen Wei’s extensive paintings, works on paper, choreographic compositions, and short films, including new pieces never before exhibited in the United States.
At The Pocantico Center, the exhibition will focus on Shen Wei’s landscape paintings, reflecting his ongoing dialogue with Chinese traditional painting and nature. Often monumental in scale, these compositions possess a cinematic quality that compels the viewer’s eyes to dance. The exhibition at the KMA will emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of Shen Wei’s body of work: the generative influence of music on his dance practice and the central role of choreographed movement in his paintings. While each section stands alone, audiences are encouraged to visit both sites to experience the complete exhibition.
Shen Wei: Still/Moving is co-organized by The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Katonah Museum of Art. The exhibition is curated by Michelle Yun Mapplethorpe, director and chief curator of the KMA, with support from Elizabeth Monti, associate curator at KMA, and Katrina London, curator at The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
