Ianacone to exhibit ‘Waterscapes’ Local resident and photographer John Ianacone will highlight water in his August exhibit at the Stable Gallery. Whether the focus is rain or ocean, mist or rapids, lakes or pools, the common element that holds the exhibit together is the presence of water. “Waterscapes” seeks to portray the emotions of water, its comment on life in its beauty, and its spiritual meaning. Ianacone has been practicing photography for over 50 years. The public is invited to a Meet the Artist morning coffee on Aug. 5, at 10 a.m., and an Artist Reception on Thursday, Aug. 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. The Stable Gallery, located at 259 North Maple Avenue, Ridgewood, is open weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. or by appointment.

The Y will share in the philanthropy from the event based on the number of volunteers they provide with a portion of PGA proceeds set to benefit the Ridgewood YMCA Good Works program. All volunteers are required to purchase a $50 volunteer package, which helps offset a portion of the actual cost so the tournament can continue to benefit local charitable organizations.
