The
Tompkins County Public Library will showcase three thought-provoking exhibits
during Downtown Ithaca’s Gallery Night Friday, April 6 from 5:00 to 8:00 PM.
Featured exhibits are:
“Perspectives on Homelessness and the Indigent: A Visual Art and Poetry Exhibit”—This timely exhibit, curated by Benn Tedrus Feshbach Nadelman, features the work of 41 visual artists and poets. Among those displaying work are: creative professionals, service and care providers to the indigent, students and members of the indigent community.
The works featured represent a vast range of sociopolitical, demographic and aesthetic perspectives and include art work in all media, as well as poetry.
“The Life and Work of Czeslaw Milosz”—Presented by the Ithaca City of Asylum, this exhibit includes photographs and books provided by former underground publisher Pawel Bakowski and will be on display through April 15.
Milosz’s work was banned in Poland until 1980 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize. At that time, Bakowski and his friends in the underground publishing business, known as NOWa, began printing and distributing his work. NOWa members faced political persecution for their actions, but kept Milosz’s work available throughout the country.
“Celebrating 60 years of Charlotte’s Web” – Presented in conjunction with the Family Reading Partnership’s Big Family Read, TCPL presents an exhibit featuring the papers and photos of E.B. White. This exhibit includes facsimiles of pages from the original manuscript-- on-loan from Cornell University Library’s Rare Book and Manuscript Collection-- and artwork and writings from area students.
Entrance to the Library will be available through the BorgWarner Community Room door, which is located behind the TCAT bus shelter on Green Street and adjacent to Gimme! Coffee.
