UNGLOVED BROOKLYN: Photographs by Alexander Feinstein will be on display in the Woodbury Public Library’s Gallery Space.

​

UNGLOVED BROOKLYN is a project started by Woodbury resident Alex Feinstein soon after the COVID-19 lockdown in New York City. On daily walks with his wife around the Brooklyn neighborhood where they lived at the time, Feinstein noticed scores of discarded latex gloves littering the sidewalks and streets, and throughout Prospect Park. These gloves were nothing less than rubbish destined for landfills and, sadly, our oceans. But upon closer look, he saw something more, as objects of strange beauty in all their varied forms and colors, and took to photographing them just as he had found them, without ever touching, manipulating, arranging, or rearranging a single glove. The project evolved into hundreds of pictures share on an Instagram account, @unglovedBKLYN, not only as a form of artistic expression but also to document that especially grim time. UNGLOVED BROOKLYN is on display during Library open hours. 

​

Born and raised on Long Island, Alex Feinstein graduated with a degree in English from SUNY Purchase and moved to Brooklyn, NY long before it became a hipster mecca. At the height of the pandemic, he and his wife Cara happily moved to Woodbury, CT. Alex has enjoyed a long career as a private investigator, serving as vice president of an agency in New York. Having studied with the renowned editor Gordon Lish, he is also the author of many short works of fiction that have appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, among other magazines and literary journals. Photography is another passion. No stranger to focusing his lens on scenic vistas in his worldwide travels, Alex’s eye focused instead on discarded latex gloves and their juxtaposition to the urban environment at a time when travel was curtailed. UNGLOVED BROOKLYN is his first exhibition.

For the first time, Poskas: Father and Son brings together the artwork of Waterbury natives Peter Poskas II and his son Peter Poskas III. Poskas II is known for painting realist views of Connecticut cities and landscapes, exploring conditions of weather and light on his subjects. Dedicated to realist still lifes before a life-altering accident, Poskas III has recently turned his attention to impressionistic views of the land, animals, and buildings surrounding his Washington, CT farm. A wide-ranging retrospective of late-career Poskas II, and mid-career Poskas III, this exhibition not only speaks to the body of work of both artists, but also tracks how their relationship has changed, grown, and deepened over time through the lens of their artwork.

The Nowhere Girls

​

By Amy Reed

​

Three misfits come together to avenge the rape of a fellow classmate and in the process trigger a change in the misogynist culture at their high school transforming the lives of everyone around them in this searing and timely story.

​

Who are the Nowhere Girls?

​

They’re everygirl. But they start with just three:

​

Grace Salter is the new girl in town, whose family was run out of their former community after her southern Baptist preacher mom turned into a radical liberal after falling off a horse and bumping her head.

​

Rosina Suarez is the queer punk girl in a conservative Mexican immigrant family, who dreams of a life playing music instead of babysitting her gaggle of cousins and waitressing at her uncle’s restaurant.

​

Erin Delillo is obsessed with two things: marine biology and Star Trek: The Next Generation, but they aren’t enough to distract her from her suspicion that she may in fact be an android.

​

When Grace learns that Lucy Moynihan, the former occupant of her new home, was run out of town for having accused the popular guys at school of gang rape, she’s incensed that Lucy never had justice. For their own personal reasons, Rosina and Erin feel equally deeply about Lucy’s tragedy, so they form an anonymous group of girls at Prescott High to resist the sexist culture at their school, which includes boycotting sex of any kind with the male students.

​

Told in alternating perspectives, this groundbreaking novel is an indictment of rape culture and explores with bold honesty the deepest questions about teen girls and sexuality.

If you had to carry what mattered to you most on a forced march of unknown length across a wintry landscape, would you choose your works of art or food, water and warm clothing? That’s the real-life decision faced by Lt. Carl. H. Holmstrom (1917-1979) in January 1945 as a prisoner of war in Nazi Germany. This difficult journey, as seen on the recent popular Apple TV series, "Masters of the Air”, forced an impossible choice.

​

Holmstrom chose to carry the visual record he’d made of his 28 months in captivity, and Ball & Socket Arts in Cheshire celebrates that decision, and honors Veterans Day, with the exhibition, “Stalag Survivor: The Art of Carl H. Holmstrom,” on view from Oct. 18 to Nov. 24, 2024. Included with the exhibition at Ball & Socket’s Workshop Gallery (493 W. Main St., Bldg. 3) will be the sketches, finished drawings and watercolors from Holmstrom’s time in captivity, mostly at Stalag Luft III, the site of the legendary Great Escape. 

​

Holmstrom, a Cheshire resident, survived his 28 months as a POW by recording his impressions in charcoal, paint and pencil on whatever paper he could scavenge. Contextual maps and information will accompany the digital reproductions of his striking images that capture the daily life and harrowing ordeals of soldiers incarcerated during World War II.

​

Under the streetlamps of East Coast cities, doo-wop emerged bringing tight harmonies to the soundtrack of the 1950s. Beginning with groups like The Drifters and The Platters, Unchained Melodies celebrates the swingin’ harmonies of the ‘50s and ‘60s, featuring songs like “Blue Moon,” “16 Candles,” “Save the Last Dance,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Charlie Brown,” “Under the Boardwalk,” “On Broadway,” and “Working My Way Back to You.” Evenings- Fridays and Saturdays 8PM, Matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2 PM

UNGLOVED BROOKLYN: Photographs by Alexander Feinstein will be on display in the Woodbury Public Library’s Gallery Space.

​

UNGLOVED BROOKLYN is a project started by Woodbury resident Alex Feinstein soon after the COVID-19 lockdown in New York City. On daily walks with his wife around the Brooklyn neighborhood where they lived at the time, Feinstein noticed scores of discarded latex gloves littering the sidewalks and streets, and throughout Prospect Park. These gloves were nothing less than rubbish destined for landfills and, sadly, our oceans. But upon closer look, he saw something more, as objects of strange beauty in all their varied forms and colors, and took to photographing them just as he had found them, without ever touching, manipulating, arranging, or rearranging a single glove. The project evolved into hundreds of pictures share on an Instagram account, @unglovedBKLYN, not only as a form of artistic expression but also to document that especially grim time. UNGLOVED BROOKLYN is on display during Library open hours. 

​

Born and raised on Long Island, Alex Feinstein graduated with a degree in English from SUNY Purchase and moved to Brooklyn, NY long before it became a hipster mecca. At the height of the pandemic, he and his wife Cara happily moved to Woodbury, CT. Alex has enjoyed a long career as a private investigator, serving as vice president of an agency in New York. Having studied with the renowned editor Gordon Lish, he is also the author of many short works of fiction that have appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, among other magazines and literary journals. Photography is another passion. No stranger to focusing his lens on scenic vistas in his worldwide travels, Alex’s eye focused instead on discarded latex gloves and their juxtaposition to the urban environment at a time when travel was curtailed. UNGLOVED BROOKLYN is his first exhibition.

The project evolved into hundreds of pictures share on an Instagram account, @unglovedBKLYN, not only as a form of artistic expression but also to document that especially grim time. UNGLOVED BROOKLYN is on display during Library open hours. 

​

Born and raised on Long Island, Alex Feinstein graduated with a degree in English from SUNY Purchase and moved to Brooklyn, NY long before it became a hipster mecca. At the height of the pandemic, he and his wife Cara happily moved to Woodbury, CT. Alex has enjoyed a long career as a private investigator, serving as vice president of an agency in New York. Having studied with the renowned editor Gordon Lish, he is also the author of many short works of fiction that have appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, among other magazines and literary journals. Photography is another passion. No stranger to focusing his lens on scenic vistas in his worldwide travels, Alex’s eye focused instead on discarded latex gloves and their juxtaposition to the urban environment at a time when travel was curtailed. UNGLOVED BROOKLYN is his first exhibition.

​

 September 8, 2024 – January 5, 2025

​

For the first time, Poskas: Father and Son brings together the artwork of Waterbury natives Peter Poskas II and his son Peter Poskas III. Poskas II is known for painting realist views of Connecticut cities and landscapes, exploring conditions of weather and light on his subjects. Dedicated to realist still lifes before a life-altering accident, Poskas III has recently turned his attention to impressionistic views of the land, animals, and buildings surrounding his Washington, CT farm. A wide-ranging retrospective of late-career Poskas II, and mid-career Poskas III, this exhibition not only speaks to the body of work of both artists, but also tracks how their relationship has changed, grown, and deepened over time through the lens of their artwork.

​

UNGLOVED BROOKLYN: Photographs by Alexander Feinstein will be on display in the Woodbury Public Library’s Gallery Space.

​

UNGLOVED BROOKLYN is a project started by Woodbury resident Alex Feinstein soon after the COVID-19 lockdown in New York City. On daily walks with his wife around the Brooklyn neighborhood where they lived at the time, Feinstein noticed scores of discarded latex gloves littering the sidewalks and streets, and throughout Prospect Park. These gloves were nothing less than rubbish destined for landfills and, sadly, our oceans. But upon closer look, he saw something more, as objects of strange beauty in all their varied forms and colors, and took to photographing them just as he had found them, without ever touching, manipulating, arranging, or rearranging a single glove.

A Christmas Carol is a novella by Charles Dickens about Ebenezer Scrooge, an old man who is well-known for his miserly ways. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by a series of ghosts, starting with his old business partner, Jacob Marley. The three spirits that follow, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come, show Scrooge how his mean behavior has affected those around him. At the end of the story, he is relieved to discover that there is still time for him to change, and we see him transformed into a generous and kind-hearted human being.
