HAYC3 is pleased to announce the Opening Reception for the Hidden Hoosick Community Photography Exhibit. It will take place downstairs at The HAYC3 Armory in 120gallery90, from 6 to 7 pm on Friday evening, June 20. Artists’ designs for the new HF Police Department shoulder patch will be on display as well.
The entire gallery will be filled with photographs of Hoosick and Hoosick Falls, all taken by the people of our community. Come to the gallery and find the one you took and see the images your friends, neighbors and co-workers took.
Imagine the walls of the long, narrow gallery hung with fabulous pictures. Each one is an individual’s interpretation of how she or he sees Hoosick. Or it’s a picture of something special to the photographer about the buildings, houses, fields, hills and hollows of our town and village. Some will show the bigger Hoosick picture – the sweeping hill views, horses running in the paddock, the bend in the river or a gorgeous village Victorian house. Some focus in on the details, like the gingerbread corbels on a front porch, the shingle patterns on a house, the expression on a cow’s face, the texture of sheep wool, the gears on farm equipment or the bark of a tree.
All the photographs were taken by Hoosick residents in the Town of Hoosick and the Village of Hoosick Falls. When put together in the gallery, they form a well rounded portrait of our community. What better way to celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of the Hoosick Community than through art created with the photographic vision of our residents?
The artists have agreed to sell their work. The sale price will be divided between the artist and HAYC3. HAYC3 will apply the funds directly to developing and supporting HAYC3 Arts programs for youth and adults.
Also on display is a special Hoosick Artists Guild project. For some time now, Hoosick Falls Assistant Chief of Police Harold McClellan has wanted a new shoulder patch design for the HF Police department uniforms, so several Hoosick Artists Guild members stepped up to the plate and have designed some options. Visitors to 120gallery90 and The Owl’s Nest on June 20 will have the opportunity to be a part of the process by voting for their favorite. The winning design will become part of the official Hoosick Falls Police uniform.
