ORNAMENTS AND ART AT TIOGA ARTS COUNCIL

Two new exhibits open December 1 with a reception from 5-8pm. Artfully Ornamental features ornaments created and donated by regional artists. Ornaments may be purchased for a $10 donation (members) or $12 donation (non-members). Halcyon Days presents recent paintings and sculpture by Michael Husted. According to Husted, Halcyon Days can be defined as: “A time of happiness and tranquility” or “two weeks of calm weather during the Winter Solstice.” He goes on to explain, “In these times that are anything but tranquil, I find that my creative effort, for the most part, produces work that is upbeat and optimistic. I'm not oblivious to the turmoil in our country and around the world, but it, somehow, does not infect my work… For me, these are halcyon days... or, we can go with the second definition and hope for two weeks of calm weather around the Solstice.”

Located at 179 Front Street in Owego, the gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 11am-4pm and First Fridays from 5-8pm; admission is free. Further information can be found online at tiogaartscouncil.org or by calling (607) 687-0785.
