Welcoming guests, I give an introduction to "Our Nature" the art & design
of the Singer family - that is Arthur Singer, his wife Judy
and sons Paul and Alan Singer...
This is the Spring of 2024 and the season presents a spectrum of events and we are on a ROLL! In March my art was featured in an online magazine that Renee Rose in Chicago produces, and I was very happy to participate in a video interview with her as we EXPLORE ART. She introduces us to a whole realm of visual art that comes as a result of her active engagement with seeking out new art and artists from all over the globe.
A little later in the month I did a second interview with Seth Voorhees and this was a look at our exhibition in the Mascioli Gallery in the Central Library, Rundel Building in downtown Rochester, New York. If you have not seen the interview - here is the link:
There is a segment about my father and his participation in the "Ghost Army" during World War II, and you can view a PBS documentary on the Ghost Army coming to your television on May 27th, 2024 on WXXI. The documentary is written up in the new May issue of CITY, which has become a monthly magazine which I find for free at Wegman's or you can subscribe to the publication. The PBS documentary was created by Rick Beyer - who was our guest speaker when "Our Nature" had the opening in mid - January of this year.
CITY writes up the Ghost Army and "Our Nature" in the new May issue!
The photo shows my brother Paul and his wife Janet sitting in the front row of the ceremony honoring the members of the Ghost Army in a celebration held in Washington, D.C. At this very amazing meeting the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson in a very bi-partisan moment, announced that the Ghost Army soldiers would receive the Congressional Gold Medal. Three of these men were actually on hand ( they are all over 100 years old ) to receive the award, and that was very moving to hear from them...
Needless to say there were good vibrations coming from D.C. that day. in March! When we arrived back home in the Rochester area, we knew we had witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and even had a replica of the medal to show our neighbors!

And the neighbors did come out for our Totality party when the eclipse of the sun happened to roll over our area earlier this month.... Here I am with guests at the entrance to The Central Library in downtown Rochester, New York.
"An Enigma", print on paper by Alan Singer
Now at The Oxford Gallery, Rochester, New York
If you are in Rochester, The Oxford Gallery has a new show which I am glad to be a part of, and it is all about the stuff of dreams.... Jim Hall, the Gallery owner and director has selected artists for this show which has become an annual production. I was glad to be able to have this new work on view for the duration. "An Enigma" is a transfer print I made on my etching press, and it is a beauty, if I can say so myself! Go check it out!
