LIBRARY TO HOST MULTI-MEDIA EXHIBIT

The Tompkins County Public Library will host “The Saltonstall Spirit,” a multi-media art exhibit curated by Dan Larkin and featuring the work of nine artists and writers with connections to Ithaca’s Saltonstall Foundation and Artist Colony.

Opening July 5, “The Saltonstall Spirit” features the work of photographers Dan Larkin, Adam Vincentz, Angela Kelly and Joe Ziolkowski, Printmaker Judy Barringer, Poet Fran Markover, Painters Marianne Barcellona and William Benson and drawings by Joy Nagy. Each of the featured pieces describe, depict or are inspired by Ithaca and the surrounding landscape.

A free, opening reception will be held in conjunction with downtown Ithaca’s First Friday Gallery Night from 5:00 to 7:00 PM on Friday, August 5 and will include talks from the artists and a 6:00 PM poetry reading by Markover.

The exhibit runs through September 29 and is made possible in part by grant support from the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County.
