Library to Host June 19 Exhibit Opening

Tompkins County Public Library will unveil “Dreamtime: Surreal and Fantastic Art,”  the third exhibit in its 2015 Year of Art at Your Library series, during a special public reception from 6 to 8 p.m., June 19.

Curated by State of the Art Gallery working artists Frances Fawcett and Margaret Nelson, “Dreamtime” is a multi-media exhibit featuring the work of 23 local and regional artists.  All of the original sculpture, photography and traditional and digitally-created multi-media pieces included in the exhibit have a surreal or fantasy theme.

The opening reception is free and open to the public and will include a discussion by Fawcett and Nelson on the genesis of the exhibit and how pieces were selected for inclusion.  Artists will also be on-hand to discuss their work and explain the surreal and fantastic elements of their pieces.

“Dreamtime” will be on display through September 15.  After hours library entry for the opening reception will be through the BorgWarner Community Room entrance, adjacent to TCAT’s East Green Street bus shelter.
