Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5^th from 5:30-7:30pm.

Brenna O’Toole is a pastel painter and calligrapher who lives and works in Ithaca, New York. She is inspired by the natural world, and she seeks to capture ephemeral moments of beauty in her paintings.

Brenna’s primary focus is landscapes; she loves to explore the world around her through art. Reflections on water, the interplay between light and shadow, the ever-changing sky — all of these are deep wells of inspiration, and she never tires of them. Brenna has a strong affinity for soft pastels. Expressing the shapes created by light feels natural with the medium, and it is always a joy to discover the right colors for each piece.

Brenna lives with her husband, Al, and they enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors. Almost all of her reference material comes from hikes or walks they’ve taken together. She grew up in Webster, New York, received a BA in Studio Art, and lived in Ithaca for a short time before moving downstate. Her paintings have been shown in several galleries and venues across the state, from the Adirondacks to the Hudson Valley, where she lived until 2020 upended the world. She is amazed and grateful to be back in the Finger Lakes.

OMG you guys!!! Legally Blonde – The Musical is coming to the Clemens Center!

Fabulously fun and international award-winning Legally Blonde – The Musical is the ultimate Broadway tribute to Girl Power!

This contemporary, sassy musical moves at a breakneck pace driven by memorable songs and explosive dances. Legally Blonde – The Musical warms the heart by proving that self-discovery can be way too much fun and hilarious to boot.

Determined to get him back, Elle uses her ingenuity and charm to get into Harvard too. School begins with endless struggles, but with the help of her new friends, Elle quickly realizes her potential, and her true assets, as she sets out to prove herself to the world and make everyone a believer.

May 5 (inside lobby): Night Train, May 6 (inside lobby) – Doc Pussum

Market Street Social outside Radisson will ring in the alfresco dining and entertainment season in downtown Corning when it officially opens for the season on May 9th and remain open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 4 pm to 10 pm until the fall.  Located between the hotel’s north and south buildings on Market Street just steps away from the Gaffer District’s many shops, Market Street Social offers seasonal dining, hand-crafted drinks, live music, and a stylish atmosphere.  On Thursdays through Saturdays starting at 6 pm, the scene transforms into Market Street Social LIVE – a one-of-a-kind music night featuring the area’s hottest musicians.  As with the rest of Radisson Hotel Corning’s culinary program, Market Street Social utilizes locally-sourced products with fresh ingredients sourced from the surrounding Finger Lakes area to give guests an authentic experience.  The venue offers flexible seating for up to 55 people, an outdoor bar, and a dedicated wait staff prepared to make memorable moments.  Daily happy hours, rotating specials, weekend brunch, and other ongoing promotions paired with live tunes make Market Street Social one of Corning’s most unique and popular outdoor spots.  Reservations are not necessary for events but are accepted by contacting 607.962.5000 ext 127.  

Drink. Eat. Garden. Repeat. Get a head start on your herb garden. Collect the potted herbs and veggies featured in all the food samples along with the matching recipe collection.

As you savor herb-prepared cuisine, you’ll be offered a wine that compliments that dish and be able to take home the recipes, so that you can be the highlight at your next get-together. You’ll also be offered up to 3 additional wine tastings.

• April 29/30 and May 6/7 from 10am to 5pm, both days
• 10 participating wineries
• This event is structured like our pre-2020 events:
  • Select a specific starting winery for you and your friends to start at. (This is where you’ll receive your souvenir wine glass and first potted herb or vegetable plant!)
  • Travel the trail as you please after your first stop, collecting potted herbs or vegetable plants as you go.
  • The ticket is good for BOTH days, so feel free to spread the wineries out over both days or come on just Saturday or just Sunday. (Pro-tip: Sunday tends to be a lighter day, so the wineries won’t be as crowded, which makes for an excellent time to visit and get more one-on-one attention with less waiting.)
• Groups are limited to 12.
• Expect diversity. Some wineries will be offering the standard bar tasting while others will be offering a sit-down experience that may take longer. Take your time during the day and enjoy both!

Herbs this year are hot pepper, cilantro, dill, oregano, tomato, parsley, cauliflower, sweet pepper, basil, and Cabbage.

Tickets:

Each ticket is good for the whole weekend to visit each winery once. Single tickets are $95 and couples tickets are $140 (plus tax and service fee) and include:

• 1 wine and food pairing at each winery, per person
• 3 additional wine tastings per winery, per person
• 1 potted herb or vegetable plant per ticket (1 for a single ticket, 1 for a single DD ticket, and 1 for a couples ticket)
• 1 recipe collection per ticket
• 1 souvenir wine glass per person

Discounted designated driver tickets are also available. The DD gets all the same perks as a regular ticket, minus the wine. They also get a DD travel mug, rather than a wine glass. $45 for a single (plus tax and service fee).

Coffee provided by Cobblestone Coffee Roasters

Friends of the Outlet will be sharing a hearty, all-you-can-eat breakfast at the Penn Yan Moose Lodge on Sunday, May 7, 2023 from 8:00 AM to 10:00AM. Over pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, coffee, and juices friends and members of the Keuka Outlet Trail will be celebrating the 200th Anniversary of Yates County while renewing a commitment to the legendary trail and its adjacent waterway that flows through the heart of Yates County and connects two of the larger Finger Lakes. 

Old, new, and/or renewed members of the KOT are being asked to bring a friend or relative along and help get them signed up for an annual membership that is critical to the upkeep of the trail. Attendees can meet the new and old members of the Board of Directors, who along with the Maintenance Team will be serving up a breakfast of champions while goodies and supplies last. 

The cost of the KOT breakfast is $8 for adults, $4 for children under 12, and free for children under 5. The Moose Lodge of Penn Yan located at 301 E. Elm Street is donating all proceeds from the event to the Friends of the Outlet. You do not need to be a member to attend, but every opportunity to join will be readily available. 

Attendees will learn about the new free Audio Tour which tells the dynamic history of the trail through 18 specific sites numbered along the entire seven mile trail from west to east-–the direction the Keuka Outlet flows. Whether an ‘audio tourist’ is on foot or a bike, solo or with family and friends, they will soon find special “QR” codes to easily scan on a smartphone for easy access to the tour. Trail visitors are encouraged to bring their own headphones or earbuds, and share the encounter with family and friends after breakfast. The following link opens the Keuka Outlet Trail Audio Tour in Spotify.

The breakfast will provide plenty of other information about the Keuka Outlet Trail such as the new Hopeton Campground, the collaborative Riparin Runoff Reduction Project, and the third annual Celebrate Cascade scheduled on September 17, 2023. 

“Our members and volunteers play an essential role to the continued success and developments along the Keuka Outlet Trail,” Keith Prather, FOTO President said, “We hope to make this membership breakfast at the Moose Lodge an annual celebration that kicks off the next season of great opportunities on the KOT.”  

Anyone interested in volunteering for the Membership Breakfast should email Deborah Clancy at dclancy1233@gmail.com or attend the Annual Spring Friends of the Outlet meeting on Monday, April 10, 2023 at 7:00pm at the 18th Amendment Kitchen and Cocktail Bar, 7 Main Street, Penn Yan, NY 14527.  

The Keuka Outlet Trail follows the Minnesetah River and is open year-round, dusk to dawn. Depending on the time of year and weather, this glacially formed waterway can be a raging river or a babbling brook as it flows eastward approximately eight miles from Keuka Lake into Seneca Lake. A 270 foot drop in altitude from Penn Yan in the west end to Dresden, New York on the east provides ample white water including two waterfalls, notably Seneca and Cascade Falls. In 1984, a group of local citizens formed Friends of the Outlet, Inc. as a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserve, protect and develop properties along Keuka Outlet creek as an area for outdoor recreation and education, and to serve as responsible stewards for the region’s natural resources.

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5^th from 5:30-7:30pm.

Brenna O’Toole is a pastel painter and calligrapher who lives and works in Ithaca, New York. She is inspired by the natural world, and she seeks to capture ephemeral moments of beauty in her paintings.

Brenna’s primary focus is landscapes; she loves to explore the world around her through art. Reflections on water, the interplay between light and shadow, the ever-changing sky — all of these are deep wells of inspiration, and she never tires of them. Brenna has a strong affinity for soft pastels. Expressing the shapes created by light feels natural with the medium, and it is always a joy to discover the right colors for each piece.

Brenna lives with her husband, Al, and they enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors. Almost all of her reference material comes from hikes or walks they’ve taken together. She grew up in Webster, New York, received a BA in Studio Art, and lived in Ithaca for a short time before moving downstate. Her paintings have been shown in several galleries and venues across the state, from the Adirondacks to the Hudson Valley, where she lived until 2020 upended the world. She is amazed and grateful to be back in the Finger Lakes.

West End Gallery is excited to announce the opening of its latest exhibit, “A Collection of New Artwork by Brian S. Keeler and Treacy Ziegler.”  The exhibit features new work by two regional artists working in a variety of mediums.  Keeler has done a series of paintings of the Finger Lakes region, featuring Keuka and Seneca Lakes.  Ziegler will be exhibiting landscapes and interiors in oil as well as sculpture work done in bronze, concrete, and paper castings of animals and birds. 

Brian Keeler lives in Ithaca, NY and has a studio in Wyalusing, PA.  Keeler has established himself as one of the preeminent realist painters working in the Northeast today.  His distinctive use of color, fine draftsmanship, attention to proportional harmony and compositional relationships have made his work easily recognizable.  His love of painting landscapes on location in the direct manner of the impressionists and others provides a certain immediacy and authenticity to his paintings.  He then combines the plein air work with more ambitious studio paintings.  The paintings of Brian Keeler have received a host of awards and acclaim during a career that spans over 30 years.  His subjects and sources of inspiration are of the landscapes of Pennsylvania and the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, portraiture, the figure, still life and works from Italy where he teaches painting workshops in Umbria and Tuscany.  His paintings have been collected by many individuals, corporations, and museums and feature articles have appeared in American Artist Magazine and in Pastelogram, a journal for pastel artists.  Two books have been illustrated by Keeler in collaboration with their authors, one a children’s book and the other a treatise on a mystical theme.
 
In his artist’s statement, Keeler says, “The portrayal of light as seen directly on the topography of the Finger Lakes area is the unifying theme of this group of paintings.  Many of them are plein air works, which means that they were composed and painted on location with completions made in the studio.  The paintings of Corot, or more precisely his approach rather than style have often served as an inspiration, as he was the ‘proto impressionist,’ meaning that he was one of the first to take an easel outside to paint.  As I often do the out-of-doors painting late in the day because of my attraction to the heightened drama of raking light, a number of these works show the sun glinting on the lakes or glowing through trees etc.  Others in the show are entirely painted in the studio but certainly based on impressions and studies from the motif.  The play of light as it describes the form and character of the land or figure and brings out various qualities has long been of interest to me, and this show continues with that exploration.”
 
Brian Keeler has released a new book on figure painting titled "Light on the Figure - Aspects of Painting People."  This 172-page hardcover is a beautiful compilation of over four decades of painting people.  It includes chapters on street scenes, genre subjects, allegory, portraits, Italy, and the Nude.  This is not just another beautiful coffee table book as it is content-rich with plenty of explanatory text.  There is a unique feature to the book that may very well be the first of its kind in publishing.  There are links to dozens of the paintings and demos to YouTube tutorials where the artist demonstrates the process.  Nothing quite like it ever.  In short, the book is a unique functionality between text, image, and video!  There are plans to have a digital version available, too.  The book sells for $54.50 and will be available for sale at West End Gallery in a few weeks.
 
In advance praise for the book, John O'Hern, former director of the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira, NY and current Santa Fe Editor of International Artist Publishing, states “Brian Keeler is a man literally of many hats, equally at home and accomplished in painting landscapes, portraits, and the figure as well as in writing and teaching.  I have admired his work for over 30 years.  It’s a pleasure to see so many paintings and to read his thoughts on painting the figure in this enlightening book.”  Keeler was recently featured in the April 2022 issue of American Art Collector Magazine in an article written by John O’Hern.
 
Treacy Ziegler of Newfield, NY

In her artist’s statement, Ziegler says “My intention in creating art is irrelevant.  I like to believe that art exists in a state of ‘without why’ and ‘just because.’  Not in the sense that the art speaks for itself as this suggests that the art has to fit into the conceptual space of language.  And not in the sense of art for art’s sake as this alternatively suggests that art exists outside the unity of living experience.  Art needs no language; it is tacit.  Call it unvoiced; or better, pre-voice.  However, having said that, in developing art, I must begin at some reference point of experience.  I begin with specific space, form, light and shadow in which these elements are evocative and, again, without voice, without a why.  I follow this initial reference point, a place, a room, in a certain mood following an aesthetic path rather than a thinking one.  My guides along the way are color harmony, composition and light and shadow.  The residual narrative is a trace of the original reference point.”

Treacy’s work was featured recently in the April 2023 American Art Collector Magazine in an article which was also written by John O’Hern. 

Upstairs Gallery: In addition to the new exhibition at West End Gallery, there will be artwork by more than 30 exceptional artists on display in the Upstairs Gallery on the second floor.
 

Exhibit on view: Friday, May 12th – Thursday, June 8th

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5^th from 5:30-7:30pm.

Brenna O’Toole is a pastel painter and calligrapher who lives and works in Ithaca, New York. She is inspired by the natural world, and she seeks to capture ephemeral moments of beauty in her paintings.

Brenna’s primary focus is landscapes; she loves to explore the world around her through art. Reflections on water, the interplay between light and shadow, the ever-changing sky — all of these are deep wells of inspiration, and she never tires of them. Brenna has a strong affinity for soft pastels. Expressing the shapes created by light feels natural with the medium, and it is always a joy to discover the right colors for each piece.

Brenna lives with her husband, Al, and they enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors. Almost all of her reference material comes from hikes or walks they’ve taken together. She grew up in Webster, New York, received a BA in Studio Art, and lived in Ithaca for a short time before moving downstate. Her paintings have been shown in several galleries and venues across the state, from the Adirondacks to the Hudson Valley, where she lived until 2020 upended the world. She is amazed and grateful to be back in the Finger Lakes.

Discover the extraordinarily creative talents of more than 2,000 local students on display at this year's Annual Student Art Show at The Corning Museum of Glass.

Entry to the Art Show is free. Museum admission is not required to attend.

Open to the public: May 17–21, 9 am–5 pm

Opening reception: May 18, 6 pm–8 pm

Join us as we step beyond the battlefield and onto the homefront to connect with the people, stories, and ideas that link Genesee Country Village & Museum to America’s greatest conflict – the Civil War. GCV&M’s costumed historic interpreters, tradespeople, and special guests – including Civil War scholars and experts – will present exciting experiences steeped in the details of history relevant to New York State and the Genesee Valley region in the 1860s – and the impacts that continue to reverberate in modern life. 

Discover fascinating stories about the ways civilian life in our region was impacted by the Civil War when you join us for this special event weekend, now hosted in May! GCV&M does not host opposing force fire demonstrations or reenactments, but rather gives visitors the opportunity to engage with our historic interpreters and guest experts to better understand this tumultuous era in American History and the connections to our American experience today. Explore the relationship between President Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, see every detail of the garments Union soldiers wore into battle, smell coffee and bacon cooking over open fires, learn about women who disguised themselves as men to enlist, watch musket loading drills, and so much more.

Special Guests & Partnerships:

President Abraham Lincoln – portrayed by internationally known historical interpreter Fritz Klein

Frederick Douglass – portrayed by Rochester’s own David Shakes

Cheyney McKnight and members of Not Your Momma’s History

Marvin-Alonzo Greer and members of the Hannibal Guards (military living historians)

Rochester-area military living historians

…and more coming soon – check back!

Taughannock Falls, near Trumansburg, NY and north of Ithaca along the west shore of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region, has long been boasted to be the tallest waterfall east of the Rockies. Or the tallest in the eastern US. Or the tallest straight-drop waterfall in the east. Or even the tallest waterfall in New York State. Yet it is none of these. In this encore episode of Walk in the Park (217), let’s take a look at Taughannock Falls, its geology, and its place among the great waterfalls.

Walk in the Park is a public access TV series cablecast on channel 13 in Ithaca, NY. and watchable online anytime. Walk in the Park is produced by Owl Gorge Productions, a partner in the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance.

“Once upon a time…” opens the door to tales of impossible things and wondrous adventures; it is an equally apt beginning for this concert, in which we’ll hear such stories explored and depicted through music. Schumann’s Märchenbilder (‘Fairy Tale Pictures’) is a set of charming character pieces, while Shih-Hui Chen’s programmatic work Returning Souls introduces us to the legends of the Amis people of Taiwan. More a saga than fable, Mendelssohn’s second viola quintet is replete with drama, exuberance, and pathos – all the elements of a gripping narrative.

Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) Piano Trio No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 63

Shih Hui Chen (b. 1962) 'Returning Souls' Four Short Pieces on Three Formosan Amis Legends 

Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) Marchenbilder, Op. 113
