Joyce Kubat is the Top Honors recipient of the 79th Artist Members Exhibition (2017). Kubat was selected by guest awards juror, Ruba Katrib, who was curator at the Sculpture Center and now curator at MoMA PS1.
In this exhibition Kubat assembles her people, a body of work which she has been developing since 2002. Her media has remained the same and Kubat lets the process lead the way in her deeply psychological figurative works. From pastels applied to damp paper creating a liquid soft skin with deep velvet pigments, to fluid pink inks that have the extraordinary transparency of flesh, these materials have led her to convey an emotionally raw narrative of human anatomy.
The figure has always been my focus, and over the years it’s become a psychological focus, a not-always-easy-to-view focus… Art with only surface excitement seems empty. For me it has to have a serious and profound underpinning, always poignant, often humorous, relating in some way to the universal humanity common to all of us. – Joyce Kubat
Kubat holds a BS in Psychology from Michigan State University and continued her studies in New York City at both Brooklyn College and Art Students League of New York. She lives and works in Huntington, NY and has exhibited throughout Long Island, New York City, Italy, and elsewhere.
Join artist Carly Haffner for a night of discussion, painting, and drinks.
With her current Guild Hall exhibit, Carly Haffner: In the Woods, Carly will share the process and photographs that initiate and inspire her paintings. The focus then quickly turns to an open creative studio, where we all create our own landscapes inspired by Carly’s work.
All who register are encouraged to bring their own desired materials (paints, paper, canvases, brushes, etc.).

This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Mental Blocks.
Mental Blocks is cooperative puzzle solving game where players work together to build a common structure out of foam blocks. For every puzzle, each player receives a card depicting one perspective of the finished structure. Players must work together using their limited information to solve the puzzle before the timer runs out. After a couple rounds, we will try the “hidden traitor variant,” where a player who knows the puzzle’s solution is actively trying to sabotage the team without being found out. Mental Blocks is an incredibly simple concept that has everyone playing with blocks, stretching their minds, and working together.
