March Gallery Night with Alice Mischke

Upstream- A Year of Persistence

Opening Reception: Friday March 6th 5-8pm

Alice Mischke is an impressionistic and abstract landscape painter. Her subject material ranges from the nostalgic, vague nature of remembered places to the shapes and colors of the landscapes we inhabit. Her current work is achieved using tools and mediums to develop, uncover and reveal textures and hidden surfaces that create depth and meaning. In addition to the importance of living here, working with artists such as Jimmy Clark and Paulus Berensohn in clay and journal making have influenced her interest in the impact of surface treatments. More recent workshops and the connected community groups of abstract artist and educator Nicholas Wilton have been influential in developing that theme. A recipient of a New York State Council on the Arts FY2026 artists support grant, she is currently working on a series of abstract landscapes that will be shown in a November exhibition at the Tioga Council of the Arts building in Owego, NY. Her work is in many private collections and in the National Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, New York. A long-time member of the Owego arts community, she maintains a studio in The Walk-Up Gallery & Studio Spaces in Owego, on the 2nd floor above the Tioga Arts Council, with a lovely view of the Susquehanna River.

This show will be available for viewing throughout March during office hours. Please call first to verify our current office hours.

This program is made possible in part with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant program from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the office of the Governor and NYS Legislature, administered by the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County.
