A lifeless storefront in the city of Newburgh, NY will be transformed from an empty shell to an energized colorful environment in Judy Thomas’ upcoming sculptural installation ‘MATRIX:RENEWAL’. Thomas, who was awarded a 2015 Individual Artist Commission grant from Arts Mid-Hudson to realize this project, is excited for this opportunity. “The challenge is to engage the community to create something fun as well as thought provoking,” Thomas explains. Neil Alexander will do a solo electronic music performance for the opening of the show on June 1st (Monday).
