From the start,’ Red Molly’ got attention with lively, engaging stage performances. Known for their gorgeous a cappella ballads, bluegrass-tinged folk and a touch of jazzy western swing which is all done up in Red Molly’s trademark three-part harmonies, they moved quickly from NYC coffeehouses to the festival circuit in less than two years, winning notices for their performances at Merlefest, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, and NPR’s Mountain Stage.

FREE CANCER SCREENING
Wednesday, June 13, 2012 from 9am-3pm
Marion Behr – Cradle of Life: Image Early
Opening Reception Saturday, May 26, 2012 – 2-4pm

To help raise awareness for her cause, the importance of early cancer detection, Ms. Behr, with the Roxbury Arts Group, helped organize a free cancer screening offered by the Cancer Services Program of Delaware, Otsego and Schoharie Counties. The screening will be held at Roxbury Arts Group’s Old Bank Building on Main Street in Roxbury, NY on Wednesday, July 13, 2012 from 9am through 3pm. The screening is free for those without insurance and is also available to those with insurance.

Call toll-free 1-888-345-0225 to register for the sceening.

Utilizing radiation cradles as sculptural totems, Marion Behr creates poignant symbols that hearken back to the trials of her personal fight against breast cancer, the emotional journey of her time spent receiving radiation treatment, and the message of hope and regeneration that these colorful, expressive objects inspire. Each cradle is part of an intimate, highly-personal narrative told with raw candor. And though they document the whole range of emotions the artist experienced during her treatment & recovery, they ultimately speak to the resilience of the human spirit.  Truly, this is an exhibition you don’t want to miss! This exhibition runs through July 7, 2012.

ADMISSION to the opening reception is free. For more information call 607-326-7908.

The Roxbury Arts Group is excited to have professional actor/director (and lawyer) Dennis Metnick conduct a 8-week course for nonprofessional actors and those who want to try it. Individually geared for those with experience and those without, we will start at the beginning based on each student’s skill and level of experience. Through the use of scenes developed by the students and scenes from plays old and new, we will begin the journey every actor must take to learn how to live in the moment on stage so the reality of acting can be fully enjoyed.

The class cost is $160. Class size will be 12 to 20 students, several scholarships are available.
