Kirkland Art Center

The Kirkland Art Center was established as a community arts organization 60 years ago in the second floor of the town library as a meeting place.
(72)

From the beginning there were classes, exhibitions, films, concerts and lectures. The KAC is now an active, regional, multi-arts center, located in an old church, barn and connecting addition, on the village green in Clinton. The nature of the activities and mission has stayed steadfast, and with the support of the community, members, volunteers, funding sources and guidance from the NYSCA, our pr

ogramming has broadened. Demonstrating high-quality, diverse programming, the KAC has become a a cultural hub in central New York and through cooperation with other organizations has developed a network of services and opportunities for artists and art lovers of all ages and disciplines.

https://www.kacny.org/kac-live-tickets/p/opus-black

Opus Black Strings is a dynamic violin, viola, and cello string trio. Reimagines the boundaries of classical music with their innovative arrangements of alternative rock, jazz, and pop hits. Their captivating performances blend virtuosity with modern flair, creating a unique and unforgettable musical experience. The group was established in 2016. A contemporary trio performing music from Beyonce to Led Zeppelin. Opus Black Strings have a penchant for the unorthodox. Opus coming from the traditional catalog of a composer, and black because they perform with Lewis and Clark carbon fiber instruments. The trio consists of Kristen Kopf, cellist, and veteran performer and pioneer of alternative education for 30 + years. She performs with Monk Rowe and is a freelancing musician. Allyson Sklar is the owner and operator of Valley Talent Education Center and The Mohawk Valley Strings Orchestra. She performs with the Half Moon Orchestra and plays viola with Opus Black Strings.
The life force of the Opus Black experience comes from the stylistic interpretations of Liz Ingersoll. Known fondly as Liz “Fiddle” she was dubbed a “CNY Treasure”. Liz lights up the stage with her dynamic performance and genuine smile. Liz is a freelancing musician and educator, owns and operates Music With Liz teaching studio, and The State Bridge Collective, art and music venue.

"Ink On Paper" Opening Exhibition is this Saturday in our gallery from 1- 4 pm. Join the KAC and featured artists Olga Nenazhivina and Iain Machell for light refreshments and snacks during the opening! “Although the artists’ works could not be more visually different from each other – lyrical, delicate, figurative vs. tough, dimensional, abstract – each artist shares an affinity for materials, textures, processes and above all, close observation of their world."
