As a cancer survivor, I am very grateful to be able to facilitate this yearly event on June 9, 2019. I am honoring my best friend Phyllis McCabe, Photographer Laureate of Kingston, NY with a special tribute. She prays for me everyday. I am positive that these prayers and those of others have been instrumental in my treatments for colon cancer with Dr. Hal Buch, Dr. Riolin Andrade, Dr. Camillo Torres and Dr. Michael Moskowitz in Kingston, NY. My younger and older students have submitted artworks dating back to June 2018 so that we could have a large showing at this event. Since I have not been able to teach my regular art classes since August 2018, I am looking forward to being fully recovered by the end of 2019. FMI: 845-246-8835

UCAA was honored with an extraordinary power point presentation by guest speaker Fred Di Vito at our monthly meeting on Tuesday May 7, 2019. Our club is based in Saugerties, NY at the Senior Center, 207 Market Street. We meet the first Tuesday of each month at 7 pm.
We saw a wide variety of his magnificent acrylic paintings and heard the stories behind them. The artist gave us an art history lesson by showing us the works of other artists as well as his own. He challenged us to think deeply about painting: the reasons why we do it and who appreciates it. We are most grateful for this delightful experience!
