Tompkins
County Public Library will launch the series “A Year of Art at Your Library”
with “For the Joy of Dancing,” a multi-media exhibit reflecting the
passion, spirit and excitement of dance.
Curated by Sally Grubb, “For the Joy of Dancing,” includes original works from regional artists: Glenda Blake, Raymond Dalton, Margaret Corbit, Brian Keeler, Bill Deats, Jari Poulin, Julie Prisloe and Kurt Lichtmann.
The artists borrowed from their own experiences with dancing and dancers to create an eclectic blend of pieces which celebrate the simple joys of learned and improvised dance. From pieces reflecting the newly-learned poise of young dancers to those showcasing the passion and excitement shared between dance partners, the exhibit offers—through the eyes of its artists-- a glimpse into the social, cultural, emotional and spiritual world of dance.
The exhibit includes photographs of many local dancers, and will be on display through March 15. An opening reception will be held in conjunction with Downtown Ithaca’s Gallery Night, from 5 to 8 p.m, February 7.
“For the Joy of Dancing” has been made possible by the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation with grant support from the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County. For more information, contact Sally Grubb at (607) 272-4557 extension 232 or sgrubb@tcpl.org.
