LIBRARY TO HOST GALLERY NIGHT RECEPTION

A trio of inspiring art exhibits will be on display on the south side of Green Street during downtown Ithaca’s Gallery Night Friday, August 5 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.

The Tompkins County Public Library, Gimme Coffee and the Creek Walk are all showcasing outstanding pieces from local and regional artists.

In addition to viewing the current exhibit, “The Saltonstall Spirit,” at TCPL, art lovers will have an opportunity to meet and talk to curator Dan Larkin and are encouraged to stay for 6:00 PM readings by featured artist and poet Fran Markover and Saltonstall Artist in Residence Helen Rubenstein.

Curated by Dan Larkin, “The Saltonstall Spirit is a multi-media exhibit featuring the work of nine artists and writers with connections to Ithaca’s Saltonstall Foundation and Artist Colony. The exhibit includes 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.

Access to the Library during Gallery Night will be available by using the BorgWarner Community Room door, which is adjacent to Green Street’s TCAT bus shelter and Gimme Coffee.

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