The community of artists in Peekskill is adding a new form to its creative world with the opening of Bantam Tools Robotics Showroom and Art Gallery in the Flatiron Building next to the Peekskill Coffee House.

The space will serve as a gallery, offer classes to teach the skills of art machines, show the work of digital artists, display a wide collection of digital art and sell unique merchandise.

“This has been one of my dreams,” says Bre Pettis, the owner of Bantam Tools on Water Street and a pioneer in the world of desktop CNC milling machines (and before that, a pioneer in 3D printing).

“I always wanted to be a professional artist with my own gallery but was never able to as young person. Being able to support artists by making technology and showcasing their work is about as dreamy as it gets.”

The showroom and gallery opened this week, offering a special Valentine card custom made on the art machines. And this Saturday (Feb. 15) at 4 p.m., University of Vermont professor and renowned digital artist Jenn Karson will be on hand for the opening reception of her show of original works called “The Generative Tree, Life Lines from Westchester County” that runs through March 9. In addition to the gallery exhibition, Karson will be producing new works live in the showroom, using Bantam robotic art machines, and offering visitors a rare opportunity to witness her process in action.”
