"Our Town" Exhibit Currently on View
Right now the High School's annual "Our Town" Exhibit featuring beautiful student work is on display in the Pottery Studio. The concept is unique: students interview members of the community to learn their life stories, and then they find creative ways to tell those stories through various artistic media. We had a lovely reception in our courtyard Monday with students performing live while their families and friends enjoyed the show. Come on down and see it-- the exhibit comes down Sunday! Thanks to their wonderful teacher, Rebecca Burk-Sciallo, for organizing this and being such a great collaborator and friend! |

Artist Spotlight: Susan Jones KenyonIn the Home of Susan Jones KenyonWalking into Susan Jones Kenyon's house is the closest you can get to entering the artist's mind. As soon as you set foot through the side door, you're surrounded by Susan's art: paintings of Otsego Lake and Kingfisher Tower, portraits of her three children, pots featuring angels and fairies, and dog bowls—yes, dog bowls—that Susan painted while working for Bradley Goodyear Smith as a designer. Take a few more steps and you'll enter the Kenyon living room, adjacent to Susan's studio on the southwest corner of the house. The walls are light brown and nearly covered with Susan's oil paintings. If you're lucky, you'll arrive when Susan, 54, is on the phone with a frame company, allowing you a few extra moments to look around, soak up the art she surrounds herself with, and study the canvas painting she's sending to the Cooperstown Art Association's national show—before you ask the self-taught artist when she started painting and find out . . .
