Port Jervis. UpFront Spring Art Show opens April 4

The UpFront Exhibition Space in Port Jervis opens the 2025 season with its 18th annual group show of art, on display Friday, April 4, through Sunday, May 25, at 31 Jersey Ave.

An artist reception will be held on Saturday, April 12, from 1 to 6 p.m. Visitors will be treated to works in diverse styles of art from several of the area’s well-known artists, plus some new creative talent.

Roger Gottlieb is a master of the digital format with more than 20 years of photography experience. His award-winning works have been exhibited in New York, Budapest and Barcelona. Gottlieb’s photo “Country Stream” uses his intense involvement with nature and his technical skills to immerse the viewer in a living image.

Paul Rubino, originally from Queens, has lived in Pike County, Pa. since 2014. He is an abstract expressionist, and with an intuitive grasp of color, he dramatically invents his subjects. “On Coming Traffic,” Rubino’s painting in this show, presents his skill in abstracting a strong visual from an emotionally charged idea.

Deb D’Anne is a photographer from Northwestern New Jersey. She excels at capturing the fleeting moments of nature. Her selection of new photos in this show capture remarkable and unusual moments throughout the United States, like her photo “The Beauty and Bounty of the Land” of Mt. Hood in Oregon.
