“A World in Motion” is an exhibit of the works of Gerald Schultz which includes large intriguing mobiles, 3D collages, prints and books.
“Unlike static sculpture that invites the observer to move around it seeking different perspectives, a mobile moves before the observer exposing different aspects of itself.” Schultz’s mobiles are made from paper, cut and folded into shapes, then painted. Wood comprises the scaffolding of the mobile that becomes part of the overall artistic statement.” Inspiration for his work has appeared to him in dreams or at other times as a result of an intuitive process.
Gerald Schultz received a PhD in Chemistry from the Polytechnic University of New York, now the Tandon School of Engineering of New York University. In the 1970’s, he studied drawing, and print making at the Art Student’s League in New York City.
June Program
Title: Head of A Pin – Works of Michael Netter
Date: June 6 – 28, 2026
Gallery Hours: Saturdays and Sundays 1-4pm
Opening Reception – Saturday, June 6, 5-7pm
Amity Gallery: 110 Newport Bridge Road, Warwick, NY 10990
The June Exhibit at the Amity Gallery “Head of a Pin” showcases Michael Netter’s works that are about flight… angels and earthlings soaring, drifting and tumbling through the sky. He builds these paintings layer by layer, with traces of earlier wallpaper and images visible underneath, so the surfaces carry a sense of time passing even as the images feel immediate. The stenciled figures are meant to feel timeless and familiar, like something you may have seen before but can’t remember where. Nothing is spelled out — the meaning is yours to complete. The title nods to the old philosophical riddle — how many angels can dance on the head of a pin — that question being less about angels than about the nature of the infinite. Netter works through layering, erasure and reworking, he seeks “art by chance”: surfaces built up until something emerges that couldn’t have been planned. He wants his “paintings to feel spontaneous but with a history underneath.”
Netter came of age as an artist in the 1970’s and worked with Andy Warhol documenting The Factory Diaries which are permanently installed at the Warhol Museum. He began painting privately on the Bowery for decades before is debut solo show, Cryptographics, at ACA Galleries in 2016, where he is represented. Netter’s works are widely shown nationally and internationally. mnetter.com

March 2023
Searching for an elevated whiskey experience, or just looking to soak up speakeasy vibes? You’ll find both at The Last Whisky Bar in Warwick.
Brian Smith, Jim Samborski, Michael Forman, and Bill Iurato are part of a 10-member whiskey appreciation group that has met every Wednesday since 2016. A couple years ago, the four men realized that if they wanted to frequent the whiskey-centric bar of their dreams with the Al-Capone-meets-the-Rat-Pack atmosphere they desired, they’d have to create it themselves.
Iurato, who’s owned Peck’s Liquors in the village of Warwick for over 30 years, and Smith, who co-owns a village bar, are the only two of the quartet with liquor biz chops. Samborski is a retired NYPD detective and a consultant for a bank in Puerto Rico, and Forman is a contractor. They collaborated on the concept and just needed the brick-and-mortar space to bring it to life. Forman offered up his 900-square-foot storage shed in Wickham Woodlands, the 733-acre grounds of the former Mid-Orange Correctional Facility.
The Last Whisky Bar opened last April, and it looks nothing like a storage shed anymore. A seamless, 47-foot-long, domed copper ceiling crowns the interior. Slate tiles that once graced a roof are solidly underfoot. Sunlight slants in through French doors—installed sideways to serve as windows—whose former life was spent in a Tuxedo Park home. The sinuous maple bar and wood-topped stools are etched with fractal-burned images resembling trees or lightning, which is apropos: Forman created them with (fairly dangerous) high-voltage electricity. “Michael is the artist behind all of this,” Smith says with appreciation.
The bar serves up whiskies, craft cocktails ($14 each, curated by cocktail sommelier John Contreras), wines, and beers. The cocktail list rotates throughout the year, with a couple mainstays: The Last Whisky Bar Manhattan (bourbon, sweet and dry vermouth, bitters, lemon) and the Corpse Reviver #2 (gin, Cointreau, Cocchi Americano, Absinthe, lemon), a hangover remedy whose recipe hails from the Prohibition era. A handful of barrel-aged cocktails (Old Fashioned, Manhattan) are offered, as well. They are mixed and finished in small oak barrels that sit behind the bar. Over six weeks, the cocktails take on the essence of the barrel before being served on demand.
More than 250 kinds of whiskey, rye, bourbon, and Scotch are served up at LWB. Newbies are invited to start with “Whiskey 101” ($25), a flight of four three-quarter-ounce pours that includes an Irish whiskey, rye, bourbon, and Scotch.
Patrons who know their favorites can choose from the extensive 1.5-ounce-a-pour menu ranging from Jim Beam ($9) up to Whistle Pig Double Malt Rye ($64 a pour), or partake in an experience that sets LWB apart from your neighborhood watering hole: The Bottle Keep.
For $250 per year and the cost of their bottle of choice, a patron (and up to five friends) can purchase a locker space. The bottle of top-shelf curated whiskey (up to a $350 bottle of Johnny Walker Blue and beyond) will be kept safely in the locker; when the locker owner visits, the bartender serves them from their very own bottle—either neat, on the rocks, or mixed into a cocktail—for $6 a drink.
There are three lockers with a total capacity of 148 bottles. Two lockers are tall, glass-faced, black wooden cabinets. The third is a wall-mounted set of horizontal cabinets that wrap around an alcove of seating. Some of the doors on those lockers are inlaid with glass interlaced by a diamond pattern of wire: Yes, it’s prison glass—salvaged onsite and cut to fit.
Forman and his electrician son Aiden wired LED lights throughout the lockers, and when a bartender pushes a button, the lights race all around the bottles inside before finally illuminating that particular bottle. Bottles that are in use sit on a shelf behind the bar. When the locker owner is ready to leave, their bottle is safely returned to the locker. LSB’s business is about 20 percent lockers, and the remaining 80 percent is traditional bar service.

LSB’s business is about 20 percent lockers, and the remaining 80 percent is traditional bar service.
The locker idea is reminiscent of those at the Flatiron Room whiskey lounge in Manhattan, without the $1,000 annual fees, “We wanted to do something like that here, so everyone can enjoy a high-end atmosphere without the higher price tag,” Forman says. The lockers are popular—of the 148 spots offered this year, only 15 were left as of March 16.
Greg and Christina Stanton are the proud owners of Locker No. 1. “We heard through friends about The Last Whisky Bar and its locker program, and we love it,” says Greg, twirling his wedding ring made from a bottle of Maker’s Mark. Weekly visitors to LWB, the Stantons recently surpassed a bottle threshold set by the bar; in gratitude, the bar’s partners gifted them with a bottle of 15-year Pappy Van Winkle.
Samborski points out that a sense of ownership in the bar has evolved among locker patrons, resulting in a friendliness reminiscent of the ’80s TV show “Cheers.” Not that you could watch a rerun, or any show actually, at LWB, because there are no TVs. “We’re all about conversation; you won’t see people staring at their phones here, either,” says Samborski. “All too often, people are too busy looking at a sporting event or down at their phones. We think of this place as a relief valve for the week.”

There’s plenty to see here without media interrupting the vibe. Two beautiful glass pendants hang over the bar, and a library ladder reaches the topmost mahogany bar shelves. A stained-glass pendant light from Samborski’s first home illuminates the lounge area. Another stained-glass chandelier—from Forman’s parents’ home—hangs next to the wall-mounted liquor locker. A deeply carved door with a thick coat of red paint marks the bar’s ADA-approved bathroom. It, and the sidelights on either side, came from a house Forman had renovated. If that bathroom is in use, patrons are welcome to enter the c.1970s phone booth to their left: Behind the bifold door is a petite but fully equipped bathroom.
The rest of the decor leans heavily toward the smoke-and-leather aesthetic of speakeasy days. Patrons can lounge on the Chesterfield couch in front of an electric fireplace, or curl up on a leather easy chair painted with a portrait of Paddy Van Winkle himself by local artist Kristy Rosen.
There’s live music every week from Thursday to Sunday. Indoors, the bands set up in the lounge area. When the temps warm up outside, the live music finds its way outside. To create a backdrop for the stage, Forman moved two boulders in the backyard and, between them, installed a red gate originally from the prison itself. You’ll hear Frank Sinatra and others Big Band favorites over the indoor and outdoor speakers when live music isn’t playing.
Music isn’t the only programming in the works. Whiskey-appreciation classes on the docket for the near future. “We’re all about educating our customers,” says Smith. “We’re not experts, but we’re all learning, and we invite people to learn with us.” The staff, too, becomes well-schooled in whiskey as they work.
The Last Whisky Bar is open Thursday through Sunday. But on select Mondays and Tuesdays, the bar opens as a speakeasy: Tipped off by LWB’s social media, followers are invited to knock on an inconspicuous gray steel door. Just like in the days of Al Capone, the “Closed” sign will slide open and the patron is asked for the password shared on LWB’s social that day. Their first speakeasy night was December 5—the 89th anniversary of the end of Prohibition—and the password was “Volstead,” the name of the act that began those dark days in 1933. Along with those flexible hours comes a caveat, however. “We will never be open on Wednesdays,” Smith says, as those are reserved for the OG whiskey appreciation nights.
Forman’s sister Dawn and her husband Max Mack run Griddle Me This, serving up gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and other delicacies from a camper and outdoor setup outside LWB. Griddle Me This’s schedule nearly mirrors that of the bar, making it a perfect stop for those late-night eats when most kitchens have closed.
True to their collaborative nature, the four owners cycled through a few names before settling on Last Whisky Bar, which is a reference to the Doors’ classic “Alabama Song (Whisky Bar).” They added ‘last’ because, well, according to Samborski, “this is the last whiskey bar you’ll ever need.”

Core Theatre Group is bringing a lively, two-part evening to Warwick that pairs “Flying Lessons” by Chris Perez with “Do You Speak Mexican?” by Elena Maria Garcia, two solo comedies built around family, identity, and the search for home. The performances are set for May 15-17 at Forge 28 Studio.
Core Theatre Group describes the evening as a duo-monologue event featuring two solo plays about family and finding home, giving the audience a chance to move from one perspective to another in a single night. That structure can make the evening feel intimate and immediate, like being invited into two different conversations that speak to each other across the stage.
Chris Perez and Flying Lessons
Core Theatre Group’s season pairs him with Garcia on “Do You Speak Mexican?” and notes that “Flying Lessons” will share the bill, underscoring that both artists are central to the production’s identity. Perez brings a different but complementary energy to the evening. “I remember one night my dad told me he always wanted to be a pilot, but when he came to this country, he had to work so hard to provide for our family that he threw that dream away. In a way, I wanted to make that dream come alive somehow. So with ‘Flying Lessons’ I’m basically retelling my dad’s story,” he revealed. “What happened in Cuba at that time is that conditions forced my father to leave, because you either joined the Communist party or you were thrown in jail,” continued Perez.
The result is a program that balances Garcia’s culturally specific storytelling with Perez’s comedic sensibility, creating a night that can be funny, warm, and emotionally resonant without becoming heavy-handed. Perez has spent decades refining how audiences respond in real time. His experience in stand-up and comedy writing means he knows exactly where humor lands, how to sharpen a line, and how to reveal truth through laughter without diluting it.
Elena Maria Garcia’s force
Garcia is a particularly strong draw because her career has long lived at the intersection of language, culture, humor, and performance. She is a four-time Carbonell Award winner, and she has been described as one of the funniest women to ever step onstage. Her solo work, including “Do You Speak Mexican?”, has been associated with the lived experience of a first-generation Cuban American in South Florida, where questions of identity and belonging are shaped by both comedy and cultural pressure.
Garcia discussed the moment that became a creative catalyst for her: “What prompted me to write this play was watching John Leguizamo’s solo performance, ‘Freak.’ When I saw ‘Freak,’ it was the first time I saw a Latino on stage. I said, ‘Wait a minute. He told that story. I could tell that story, too.’ My story is important, too. Because of him and that particular show, I was inspired. I would play that show to all of my students for years, and they would sit there in awe because it was the first time they had seen someone like themselves on stage.”
Garcia’s background also gives the piece unusual theatrical authority. Garcia has moved across stage, television, film, and improvisation, and her history includes helping create an all-female improv troupe and a Spanish-only short-form improv group, experience that suits a play built on timing, spontaneity, and the textures of bilingual life. That combination of precision and playfulness should make her performance especially engaging for audiences who appreciate comedy that carries real emotional weight.
Why attend
For Warwick theatergoers, the attraction is not just that this is new work, but that it is work with a clear point of view and a strong regional profile. Core Theatre Group has been building a 2026 season that mixes original work, comedy, and collaborations, and this show fits that larger mission by bringing Miami-based artists to the Hudson Valley for a limited run. That gives local audiences a chance to see a production shaped by artists with deeply authentic experience in Latino storytelling and contemporary comedic performance. And both plays will feature carefully curated Latin and/or Pop music introduced at specific moments throughout their shows.
The piece also offers something increasingly valuable in live theater: a chance to laugh while thinking. “Do You Speak Mexican?” has already been described as an exploration of a first-generation Cuban-American family’s search for place in the United States, and that subject matter is likely to resonate well beyond any single community or ethnic group. In a small-space venue like Forge 28 Studio, that kind of story can feel close, immediate, and especially memorable.

Core Theatre Group is bringing a lively, two-part evening to Warwick that pairs “Flying Lessons” by Chris Perez with “Do You Speak Mexican?” by Elena Maria Garcia, two solo comedies built around family, identity, and the search for home. The performances are set for May 15-17 at Forge 28 Studio.
Core Theatre Group describes the evening as a duo-monologue event featuring two solo plays about family and finding home, giving the audience a chance to move from one perspective to another in a single night. That structure can make the evening feel intimate and immediate, like being invited into two different conversations that speak to each other across the stage.
Chris Perez and Flying Lessons
Core Theatre Group’s season pairs him with Garcia on “Do You Speak Mexican?” and notes that “Flying Lessons” will share the bill, underscoring that both artists are central to the production’s identity. Perez brings a different but complementary energy to the evening. “I remember one night my dad told me he always wanted to be a pilot, but when he came to this country, he had to work so hard to provide for our family that he threw that dream away. In a way, I wanted to make that dream come alive somehow. So with ‘Flying Lessons’ I’m basically retelling my dad’s story,” he revealed. “What happened in Cuba at that time is that conditions forced my father to leave, because you either joined the Communist party or you were thrown in jail,” continued Perez.
The result is a program that balances Garcia’s culturally specific storytelling with Perez’s comedic sensibility, creating a night that can be funny, warm, and emotionally resonant without becoming heavy-handed. Perez has spent decades refining how audiences respond in real time. His experience in stand-up and comedy writing means he knows exactly where humor lands, how to sharpen a line, and how to reveal truth through laughter without diluting it.
Elena Maria Garcia’s force
Garcia is a particularly strong draw because her career has long lived at the intersection of language, culture, humor, and performance. She is a four-time Carbonell Award winner, and she has been described as one of the funniest women to ever step onstage. Her solo work, including “Do You Speak Mexican?”, has been associated with the lived experience of a first-generation Cuban American in South Florida, where questions of identity and belonging are shaped by both comedy and cultural pressure.
