Earlier this week, we said goodbye to another talented group of artists who were with us for a two-week residency. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt work with our Ithaca community. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors! And as always, a special thanks to New York State Council of the Arts for helping to make it all possible.

Thank you, Ithaca community!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our final open house of the season last Sunday. It was such a special event.

Our wonderful group of artists and writers truly made it an afternoon to remember. Sasha Burshteyn shared a selection of beautiful poems. Filmmaker Daniel Hymanson shared a screening of his documentary feature, “So Late So Soon” about the 50+ year marriage of two Chicago artists living in a colorful Victorian house, and visual artists Allison Gildersleeve and Danielle Draik displayed new works and works-in-progress throughout our gallery space. 

*Unfortunately, (K^nikanlahtá:sa’) Tonya L. Shenandoah was unable to participate in our open house due to an unforeseen conflict.
