The Columbia-Greene Community College will host an art show of works by Phyllis McCabe and Kristy Bishop during the month of March. In the Blue Hill  Gallery of the college, located at 4400 Route 23, Hudson, NY 12534 (518-828-4181)www.sunycgcc.edu – visitors are welcome during the following hours: Mon.- Thurs. 8 am  – 8 pm; Fri. 8 am  – 4:30 pm Sat. 9 am – 5 pm and closed Sunday.

During those 40 years of friendship,  we have encouraged  each other to develop our talents and pursue careers in  these fields  of art. We met at the Ulster Library Fair in the summer of 1975 and became fast friends. She was exhibiting her photographs and I was exhibiting my paintings side by side on a fence on the library property along with many other artists. We both won awards in our  separate categories: The judges included: Charles Bryson, Richard Jeffrey, Shelagh Young, Richard Wolter and William Gallagher.

The artwork (some 60 works in all) in the upcoming show at the college will feature what inspired us over the years.
