A Celebration of the Finger Lakes Flora, an exhibit organized by the Finger Lakes Native Plant Society, will be on display at the Tompkins County Public Library from January 18 through March 26.
The first in the Library's Year of Art at Your Library 2010 series, this juried exhibit includes the work of more than 50 artists and highlights the beauty and diversity of our region’s native plants. From traditional botanical illustrations and wildflower photography to more abstract treatments and sculptural forms, this exhibit features an astounding diversity of subjects and styles. An opening reception will be held Friday, January 22 in conjunction with the Gallery Opening Night festivities of the Light in Winter Festival.
Jurors included members of the Finger Lakes Native Plant Society and local artists: David Watkins, photographer, Camille Doucet, watercolor artist, and Eric Serritella, potter.
Founded in 1997, the Finger Lakes Native Plant Society's mission is to teach people about native plants, the importance of conservation and the threat of invasive species. The group regularly sponsors free lectures, field trips and special events.
As part of this exhibit, the Library will host five workshops facilitated by FLNP and will provide a display of plant-related resources and educational materials.
This exhibit has been made possible by grants from the Brooks Family Foundation and the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County and the support of the Finger Lakes Native Plant Society.
