Poughkeepsie Open Studios 2026 Artist Highlight: Jared Oswald

"The art I create is an equal blend of skill and purpose. I use LEGO bricks because they are a prebuilt series of constraints that consistently challenge me. No shape is impossible. It is a skill barrier I must break through to achieve the aesthetic I’m seeking and the structure that can support it."

Poughkeepsie Open Studios 2026 Artist Highlight: James Barrett

"For me, art is the process not the finished product. It’s letting hands yield completely to the creative force, free of a clinging memory, or fantasy of a future.

When finished, the sculpture is the moon reflecting the creative force to a viewer with the original burst of “aha!”."
