Evan Jagels × Timothy Atticus: Improvised Gestures
Join us for an evening of live music and abstraction featuring a solo performance by composer and bassist Evan Jagels, performing selections from his new album, Solo.
Jagels’ improvisational bass compositions form the foundation of this interdisciplinary exhibition. Visual artist Timothy Atticus responds to the music through abstract drawings and paintings created in direct dialogue with sound, translating rhythm, tempo, and structure into gesture and form.
Selected works from this collaboration—along with additional abstract pieces by Atticus—will be on view throughout February.
Experience abstraction as a living exchange between music and image, improvisation and mark-making.
Ekphrastic Writing: Writing in Conversation with Art with Julene Waffle
In this generative writing workshop, participants will explore ekphrastic writing—the art of responding to visual works through language. Guided by writer and educator Julene Waffle, we’ll use paintings, drawings, objects, and images as creative catalysts, translating what we see into vivid, thoughtful prose and poetry.
Through guided prompts, close looking, and supportive discussion, writers will learn how to move beyond simple description to engage with art emotionally, imaginatively, and critically. We’ll explore voice, metaphor, narrative, and perspective, asking: What does the artwork reveal? What does it conceal? And what does it awaken in us?
This workshop is open to writers of all levels—from seasoned poets to curious beginners. No prior experience with ekphrastic writing is necessary, just a willingness to look closely and write bravely.
Participants will leave with:
A deeper understanding of ekphrastic writing
New tools for observation and creative response
Original writing generated during the workshop
Fresh inspiration drawn from art and shared conversation
Come write with art, not just about it—and discover how visual forms can unlock new dimensions in your writing.
$15 per person, bring a notebook and writing utensil

Realizing Abstraction: Seeing, Thinking, Making
This four-week course invites students into the expansive world of abstract art—exploring abstraction not only as a visual language, but as a way of thinking, feeling, and responding to the world.
Fridays, February 13 – March 6
4:00–6:30 PM
The class meets at The Butternut Valley Arts & Crafts Center and each class begins with a slide-based visual lecture, followed by guided discussion and hands-on studio work. Together, we’ll look at pivotal moments in the history of abstraction and the artists who broke from representation to follow intuition, structure, emotion, chance, and material truth—using history as inspiration, not instruction.
Weekly Themes
• Week 1: Early Abstraction — Hilma af Klint, Kandinsky, Cubism
• Week 2: The Absurd, Sex & Dreams — Dada & Surrealism
• Week 3: Art as Act — Abstract Expressionism & gesture
• Week 4: Minimal & Hard Edge — Structure, systems, restraint
Studio Practice
Students will work with accessible materials including graphite, charcoal, ink, and collage. Exercises emphasize experimentation, risk-taking, and developing a personal relationship to abstraction beyond style. All materials are included.
Who This Class Is For
Open to beginners and experienced artists alike. No prior art history knowledge required—just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
What You’ll Gain
• A broader understanding of abstraction
• New tools for non-representational drawing and image-making
• Increased confidence in intuitive, exploratory work
• A body of experimental studies rooted in history and personal exploration
Ticket Pricing
$225 per student
Includes all four classes (10 hours total), visual lectures, guided studio instruction, and all materials provided.
Optional Early Bird: $200 when registered by [2/1/26]

Renewal: A Generative Writing Workshop with Julene Waffle
As the year turns and the world settles into winter quiet, we’re invited to reflect on beginnings, endings, and everything calling for renewal. This generative writing workshop blends reflective writing with gentle restorative practices, including brief breathing exercises and simple meditation moments to help you settle in, open up, and write with clarity.
Participants will read model texts that explore themes of release, transformation, intention, and hope. We’ll look closely at the emotions that surface around the new year—anticipation, uncertainty, clarity, healing—and use them as fertile ground for new work. Through guided prompts and grounding practices, you’ll create fresh starts on the page: poems, short prose pieces, reflections, or hybrids drawn from your own lived experience.
Participants may share part of their writing in a small, supportive group and will receive gentle, constructive feedback to support deeper reflection and revision.
You’ll leave with several new drafts and a renewed sense of calm and creative direction.
$15 per person. Please bring paper and a writing utensil.

Sunday Sessions with Liana Gabel
Through her music, Liana Gabel takes seemingly familiar stories, themes, and tropes about being human and transforms them into that which is profoundly unfamiliar and novel, yet warm and comforting. Her observations about the changing landscape of our relationships, the country, the world, clearly inform her work as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and percussive tap dancer. Be ready, as inspired and encouraged by Pete Seeger, she will get you singing right along.
