Artist Talk Highlights: An Evening of Conversation and Creativity

On Thursday evening, August 21st, the Ossining Arts Council hosted an Artist Talk in celebration of the exhibition Summer Scenes: Art In Full Bloom. Six talented artists came together to share their stories, creative processes, and sources of inspiration with an engaged and thoughtful audience.

The room was full of energy and curiosity as each artist spoke in their own way — some about personal journeys, others about technique or community, and many about the themes that connect art to the vibrancy of summer. The variety of voices and perspectives made the evening truly special, reminding us how diverse and dynamic our artistic community is.

For those who couldn’t join us in person, we’ve put together a 15-minute video of highlights featuring clips from each artist’s talk. It’s a wonderful way to experience the evening’s conversations and hear directly from the artists themselves.

Events like these remind us why art is more than just what hangs on a wall — it’s the stories, the process, and the people behind the work that make it come alive.
