LIBRARY TO HOST CLOSING RECEPTION, DISCUSSION

Join the artists of “MARK-up” for a closing reception and panel discussion, Thursday, September 23 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM in the Tompkins County Public Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.

The fourth installment in the Library’s Year of Art at Your Library series, “MARK-up” is an eclectic exhibit featuring the work of 17 local artists. Artists who will be participating in the panel include: Ben Altman, Jane Dennis, Andrew Gillis, Jay Hart, Barbara Page, Erica Pollack, Nancy Ridenour and Allen Smith.

Each of the artists participated in the 2008 and 2009 MARK programs, sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts and the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County. MARK is designed to help visual artists develop the professional skills necessary to better market and promote their work. By providing insight into professional traits such as: goal setting, organization, networking and presentation, MARK serves as an invaluable tool for artists looking to enhance their business skills.

The reception is free and open to the public. The panel discussion begins at 6:00 PM. Following comments from the artists, the audience will have an opportunity to ask questions.

For more information, contact Sally Grubb at (607) 272-4557 extension 232 or sgrubb@tcpl.org.
