New Gallery to Open in Corning, NY
WHAT:
Corning’s newest gallery, Spencer Hill Gallery, plans to open its doors this summer on July 1. For its inaugural exhibition, Kathrine Page, former director of the Davison Gallery at Roberts Wesleyan College, assembles the recent work of 18 represented artists in media such as painting, ceramics, mixed media, and sculpture in a show titled, A Sense of Place.
Tracing life’s footprints often leads to new discoveries to newfound strengths and a reorientation affirming present realities. Finding a sense of place connotes newness and identity--that locus of epiphany, that place we call home. As such, A Sense of Place investigates discovery, meaning, and purpose. On display the viewer will find a cluster of sensibilities that rest at the place of remembering, forgetting, letting go, holding on, adventure, imagination, and beginning anew by exploring visual and actual textures.
At the heart of the exhibition 19 artists bring together in one place a sense of knowing their place as artists in the world, and in knowing their place we glimpse into the beauty and practice of these seasoned artists.
Participants include: David Berry, Sandra Bowden, Scot Bennett, Emanuele Cacciatore, Ralph Gabriner, Nicora Gangi, Douglas Giebel, Bruce Herman, Nancy Jurs, Larry Merrill, Lanna Pejovic, Toni Pepe, Peter Pincus, Masha Ryskin, Jillian Sokso, Shelley Thorstensen, Jo-Ann Van Reeuwyk, Sabra Wood, and Jim Zingarelli.
WHEN:
July 1 – Aug. 4, 2012. The public is invited to attend the gala opening reception: Sunday, July 1, 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. Artist introductions at 3 p.m. Parking and admission is free.
WHERE:
The gallery is located in the north wing of the home at 10503 North Road on Spencer Hill just south of the city of Corning, and about ¼ mile east of Corning Community College.
HOURS:
Starting July 1, Spencer Hill Gallery will be open from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday; or by appointment. Closed holidays.
