Glimmerglass Film Days Exhibition, October 31-November 15

 
 
A new exhibit, "Personal Perspectives: Five Artists' Sense of Place," will be on display at The Smithy in Cooperstown October 31 - November 15. The featured artists, Amelia Bauer, Wijnanda Deroo, Roy Kortick, Katharine Kreisher, and Alex O'Neal, have been invited to share their wide range of different investigations  of  "place"-their places of origin, new homes, places they visit, or places of the imagination. "Personal Perspectives" complements the "Sacred Places" theme of Glimmerglass Film Days, which will be held November 5-9.

The artists, explains exhibit curator Megan Adams Irving, present their perceptions of "place" in their works as relates to humanity, nature, religion, and creative expression as it happens in imaginary places and places of significance. Irving, an artist, and co-curator Sydney L. Waller, gallerist, serve on the Steering Committee of Glimmerglass Film Days.
