ABOUT THE RMSC COUNCIL

RMSC Council was initiated in 1941 when several Rochester women decided to form a Women’s Council for social interaction and fundraising support for the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC). These women volunteered their time and energy by creating special activities and annual fundraising events.

In 2018, the RMSC Women’s Council opened its membership to men and women, changed its name to the more inclusive RMSC Council, and expanded its mission to provide educational programming to the Rochester community. Since its inception 80 years ago, RMSC Council has proudly donated close to $2.8 million to RMSC through creative and invaluable fundraising efforts.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.

“A high-energy… hymn to the glories of girlishness.” – The New York Times

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! The story follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, sexism, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams, and proves that you can be legally blonde and STILL the smartest person in the room. 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.

Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting more serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. 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.

Based on the beloved movie, Legally Blonde – The Musical will take you from the sorority house to the halls of justice with Broadway’s brightest new heroine and, of course, her Chihuahua, Bruiser.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.

Ludlowville Falls on Salmon Creek in Lansing
One Rock, Five Waterfalls

One layer of sedimentary rock that slices through the eastern Finger Lakes forms the top of many waterfalls where Ice Age glaciers dug troughs that now hold the lakes. We’ll look at five of these falls in five different parks, in episode 215 of Walk in the Park, produced in 2019.
Walk in the Park is a public access cable TV series produced in Ithaca, NY by Owl Gorge Productions, a partner in the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance.

“A high-energy… hymn to the glories of girlishness.” – The New York Times

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! The story follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, sexism, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams, and proves that you can be legally blonde and STILL the smartest person in the room. 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.

Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting more serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. 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.

Based on the beloved movie, Legally Blonde – The Musical will take you from the sorority house to the halls of justice with Broadway’s brightest new heroine and, of course, her Chihuahua, Bruiser.

Friends of the Keuka Outlet Trail Membership Breakfast at the Penn Yan Moose Lodge

 

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.

ABOUT THE RMSC COUNCIL

RMSC Council was initiated in 1941 when several Rochester women decided to form a Women’s Council for social interaction and fundraising support for the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC). These women volunteered their time and energy by creating special activities and annual fundraising events.

In 2018, the RMSC Women’s Council opened its membership to men and women, changed its name to the more inclusive RMSC Council, and expanded its mission to provide educational programming to the Rochester community. Since its inception 80 years ago, RMSC Council has proudly donated close to $2.8 million to RMSC through creative and invaluable fundraising efforts.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.

Ludlowville Falls on Salmon Creek in Lansing
One Rock, Five Waterfalls

One layer of sedimentary rock that slices through the eastern Finger Lakes forms the top of many waterfalls where Ice Age glaciers dug troughs that now hold the lakes. We’ll look at five of these falls in five different parks, in episode 215 of Walk in the Park, produced in 2019.
Walk in the Park is a public access cable TV series produced in Ithaca, NY by Owl Gorge Productions, a partner in the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance.

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.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.

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

ABOUT THE RMSC COUNCIL

RMSC Council was initiated in 1941 when several Rochester women decided to form a Women’s Council for social interaction and fundraising support for the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC). These women volunteered their time and energy by creating special activities and annual fundraising events.

In 2018, the RMSC Women’s Council opened its membership to men and women, changed its name to the more inclusive RMSC Council, and expanded its mission to provide educational programming to the Rochester community. Since its inception 80 years ago, RMSC Council has proudly donated close to $2.8 million to RMSC through creative and invaluable fundraising efforts.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.

Ludlowville Falls on Salmon Creek in Lansing
One Rock, Five Waterfalls

One layer of sedimentary rock that slices through the eastern Finger Lakes forms the top of many waterfalls where Ice Age glaciers dug troughs that now hold the lakes. We’ll look at five of these falls in five different parks, in episode 215 of Walk in the Park, produced in 2019.
Walk in the Park is a public access cable TV series produced in Ithaca, NY by Owl Gorge Productions, a partner in the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance.

Billsboro Winery Vertical Tasting Event
Billsboro Winery - May Vertical Tasting

Join us as we dig through the stacks in our wine library and sample some older vintages. Vertical tastings enlighten one’s understanding as to the role vintage conditions, winemaking practices, vineyard sites, and plain fate have in creating each wine’s personality.

This event will be held in our Tasting Room (at Billsboro Winery) on Sunday, May 14th, from 5-7 pm and will focus on Sauvignon Blanc vintages 2012, 2015, 2016 and Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah vintages 2008, 2011, 2014. As always, we will compare with the current vintage.  Bottles will be available to purchase, with a one bottle limit.

Winemaker/Owner Vinny Aliperti will guide you through each vintage. These are interactive events, and we encourage you to ask questions!

Although light food pairings will be provided to complement the wines, our focus will be these vintage wines and a full meal should not be expected.

Seating is limited and on a first come first serve basis. You may be seated at a table with other guests. Please contact us if that will be an issue for you, and we will do our best to accommodate.

Taughannock Falls as seen along the North Rim Trail
Taughannock Falls Compared

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.

ABOUT THE RMSC COUNCIL

RMSC Council was initiated in 1941 when several Rochester women decided to form a Women’s Council for social interaction and fundraising support for the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC). These women volunteered their time and energy by creating special activities and annual fundraising events.

In 2018, the RMSC Women’s Council opened its membership to men and women, changed its name to the more inclusive RMSC Council, and expanded its mission to provide educational programming to the Rochester community. Since its inception 80 years ago, RMSC Council has proudly donated close to $2.8 million to RMSC through creative and invaluable fundraising efforts.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.

Visitors to GCV&M for Civil War Living History Weekend on Saturday, May 20, and Sunday, May 21, will learn from the Museum’s own historical experts as well as historians and guest speakers from around the country about life in the Genesee Valley Region of NY State during America’s greatest conflict. GCV&M does not host opposing force fire demonstrations or reenactments; instead the Museum’s costumed historic interpreters, tradespeople, and special guests experts and scholars present engaging experiences steeped in the details of history relevant to New York State in the 1860s – and the impacts that continue to reverberate in modern life. See the relationship between President Lincoln and Frederick Douglass play out in real time, examine 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 firing demonstrations and musket loading drills, fall in line with either the “Mumford ranks” or the “Caledonia ranks,” and so much more. Tickets for Civil War Living History Weekend are available online at https://www.gcv.org/event/civil-war/.

Learn about female soldiers and spies

Women took active roles in the Civil War, both on the home front maintaining households, trades, and tending farms, as well as on the battlefield – sometimes disguising themselves as men to join the fray. During this year’s Civil War Living History Weekend, guests can attend a panel discussion with guests Dr. Audrey Scanlan-Teller and Tracey McIntire focused on women in the Civil War who disguised themselves as men and took up arms to protect the Union. This panel will be moderated by V Spehar, host of Under the Desk News.

No battles were fought in NY state, but the impact of the conflict was great

The inconsistency between America’s founding freedoms and the lived experience of enslaved persons was thrust into the consciousness of many throughout the country. While no battles took place in New York, more than 400,000 New Yorkers fought in the war and the state played a key role in the Abolitionist movement. Throughout the weekend, Museum interpreters, expert guest speakers, and performers will share stories of how the war impacted all residents of New York. Visitors can join Doug Oakes and Terri Olszowy from the Friends of the Elmira Civil War Prison Camp for a fascinating talk about how the Elmira Prison Camp pivoted from a training facility for Union soldiers to holding for captured Confederates.

Explore the relationship between President Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass

Special guests President Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass (portrayed by Fritz Klein and David Shakes) will be on-site throughout the weekend to greet visitors, pose for “likenesses,” and discuss their historical collaboration to recruit and enlist People of Color. Those interested in learning more about Fritz Klein’s career depicting the 16th president of the United States and his method for such an uncanny portrayal are encouraged to purchase tickets for “Becoming Lincoln: An Evening with Fritz Klein” at GCV&M on Thursday, May 18. Learn more and purchase tickets online: https://www.gcv.org/event/becoming-lincoln-an-evening-with-fritz-klein/

Abolition, advocating for citizenship, and the experience of USTC

Visitors can join guest expert Marvin-Alonzo Greer, Lead Historic Interpretation & Community Engagement Officer for the Maryland-National Capital Parks and Planning Commission, for an exploration of Black Americans advocating for citizenship and the USCT (then known as the United States Colored Troops). Guests will also have the opportunity to explore the topic of abolition with Cheyney McKnight of Not Your Momma’s History.

ABOUT THE RMSC COUNCIL

RMSC Council was initiated in 1941 when several Rochester women decided to form a Women’s Council for social interaction and fundraising support for the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC). These women volunteered their time and energy by creating special activities and annual fundraising events.

In 2018, the RMSC Women’s Council opened its membership to men and women, changed its name to the more inclusive RMSC Council, and expanded its mission to provide educational programming to the Rochester community. Since its inception 80 years ago, RMSC Council has proudly donated close to $2.8 million to RMSC through creative and invaluable fundraising efforts.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.

Taughannock Falls as seen along the North Rim Trail
Taughannock Falls Compared

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.

ABOUT THE RMSC COUNCIL

RMSC Council was initiated in 1941 when several Rochester women decided to form a Women’s Council for social interaction and fundraising support for the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC). These women volunteered their time and energy by creating special activities and annual fundraising events.

In 2018, the RMSC Women’s Council opened its membership to men and women, changed its name to the more inclusive RMSC Council, and expanded its mission to provide educational programming to the Rochester community. Since its inception 80 years ago, RMSC Council has proudly donated close to $2.8 million to RMSC through creative and invaluable fundraising efforts.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.

ABOUT THE RMSC COUNCIL

RMSC Council was initiated in 1941 when several Rochester women decided to form a Women’s Council for social interaction and fundraising support for the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC). These women volunteered their time and energy by creating special activities and annual fundraising events.

In 2018, the RMSC Women’s Council opened its membership to men and women, changed its name to the more inclusive RMSC Council, and expanded its mission to provide educational programming to the Rochester community. Since its inception 80 years ago, RMSC Council has proudly donated close to $2.8 million to RMSC through creative and invaluable fundraising efforts.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.

Taughannock Falls as seen along the North Rim Trail
Taughannock Falls Compared

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.

In 2018, the RMSC Women’s Council opened its membership to men and women, changed its name to the more inclusive RMSC Council, and expanded its mission to provide educational programming to the Rochester community. Since its inception 80 years ago, RMSC Council has proudly donated close to $2.8 million to RMSC through creative and invaluable fundraising efforts.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.

ABOUT THE RMSC COUNCIL

RMSC Council was initiated in 1941 when several Rochester women decided to form a Women’s Council for social interaction and fundraising support for the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC). These women volunteered their time and energy by creating special activities and annual fundraising events.

In 2018, the RMSC Women’s Council opened its membership to men and women, changed its name to the more inclusive RMSC Council, and expanded its mission to provide educational programming to the Rochester community. Since its inception 80 years ago, RMSC Council has proudly donated close to $2.8 million to RMSC through creative and invaluable fundraising efforts.

Brenna O'Toole's Evening Light
Art Installation: Brenna O'Toole

On display in the Tasting Room for all of May and June!

Don’t miss Brenna’s reception on May 5th 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.
