Opening Friday August 21 | 5 -7 pm    Two New  Exhibitions     New Exhibitions Open  on Friday August 21 | 5 - 7 PM  Celebrating Texture, Craft, and Landscape The Cooperstown Art Association is pleased to present two new exhibitions opening this Friday, celebrating the beauty of craftsmanship and the enduring inspiration of the natural world.  Join us for an Opening Reception on Friday, August 21, from 5:00–7:00 p.m. Both exhibitions will be on view August 22 through September 25. The reception and exhibitions are free and open to the public!  Together, these exhibitions offer an opportunity to experience the rich diversity of artistic expression found throughout New York State—from the intricate surfaces of contemporary craft to the tranquil beauty of landscapes inspired by the region we call home. Made in New York: Texture Gallery A Made in New York: Texture is an invitational exhibition showcasing over 20 New York State artisans whose work explores the expressive power of surface and material. Featuring ceramicists, woodworkers, textile artists, and glassworkers, the exhibition highlights the dynamic interplay between rugged, weathered finishes and sleek, polished surfaces. Each work invites viewers to experience texture not only through its tactile qualities, but also as a powerful visual and artistic language. Earth, Water, Sky: Landscapes Real & Imagined Gallery B Earth, Water, Sky: Landscapes Real and Imagined features oil paintings by Cooperstown artist Marjie Dennin, inspired by her deep appreciation for the landscapes of Central New York.  Blending observation, memory, and imagination, Dennin's evocative paintings include familiar views from the rural backroads of Cooperstown, Springfield, Fly Creek, and Otsego Lake. Other works reimagine ponds, marshes, and lakes inspired by photographs taken throughout her travels.  A lifelong artist, Dennin has pursued oil painting extensively since 2020, developing her practice through independent study, instruction, workshops, and plein air painting. Her work reflects a continual exploration of color, atmosphere, and the emotional qualities of landscape. Opening Reception Friday, August 21 | 5:00–7:00 p.m. Exhibitions on view:  August 22–September 25  Gallery Hours:  Tuesday–Saturday | 11:00 a.m.– 4:00 p.m.  For more information, visit www.cooperstownart.com or call (607) 547-9777.

Original Music at Smithy Gallery

The performance offers audiences a rare opportunity to witness the creative process unfold in real time and become part of the work itself.  The concert features: Laura Andrea Leguia Nicholas Anderson Evan Jagels The event is free and open to the public.
