Library to Host Gallery Night Graffiti Painting

The Tompkins County Public Library will celebrate Downtown Ithaca Gallery Night and the Ithaca Festival June 1 with the painting of urban street art along the Creek Walk behind the Library.

Local graffiti artists Jay Stooks and Jay Potter—with the support of a Sustainable Tompkins Mini-Grant-- will mobilize local artists in the painting of a 48 foot long, community-based mural, created on boards hung along the street walk.  Painting of the mural will be well underway by the 5 p.m. start of Gallery Night and is expected to be completed by Gallery Night’s 8 p.m. conclusion.

To add to the excitement of the evening, three local bands will perform during the creation of the mural.  Fall Creek Folk, Dance Sylvania and Uncle Joe and the Rosebud Ramblers will all provide entertainment during the three-hour Gallery Night event.
