SUMMARY:Story Time: Children and Young Adult Authors and Illustrators
DESCRIPTION:Featuring the work of Bruce Hiscock\, Marika McCoola\, and Jennifer Sattler \n \nOpening July 7 and running through August 11\, 2017\, the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery will present “Story Time: Children and Young Adult Authors and Illustrators”\, a 3 person exhibition featuring the work of Bruce Hiscock\, Marika McCoola\, and Jennifer Sattler. The opening reception takes place on Friday\, July 7\, from 6 – 8 PM. We will also present a panel discussion with the artists on Tuesday\, August 1st at 6 pm at Northshire Bookstore\, 424 Broadway in Saratoga Springs\, NY. Our exhibiting artists will discuss their creative process and relationship between visual illustration and storytelling. All events are free and open to the public. \nBruce Hiscock is the author/illustrator of many natural history books for children. His stories\, like “The Big Rock” and “The Big Tree\,” are based on actual objects\, near his home\, and contain enough information to enlighten grade school kids as well as most adults. These books\, among others\, have been designated as Outstanding Science Trade Books by the Children’s Book Council. “The Big Rock” and “The Big Storm” were honored on the John Burrough’s Riveby Award List of Books for Young Readers. Well versed in many aspects of science\, Bruce studied chemistry in college and graduated from the University of Michigan\, B.S. 1962 and Cornell University\, Ph.D.\, 1966. At age 40 he decided to combine his artistic talents with science and begin a career in children’s books. His journeys across the North American Arctic from Alaska to Labrador form the basis of several works\, including “Tundra\,” “The Big Caribou Herd\,” and most recently\, “Ookpik- the Travels of a Snowy Owl\,” a finalist for the Charlotte Award of New York State.  Bruce lives in Porter Corners\, NY\, in a house he built by hand using the native rocks and trees. He often gives programs in schools and libraries\, teaching kids to draw and encouraging them to read and write stories for themselves. You can learn more about his work at brucehiscock.com. \nMarika McCoola is an illustrator\, educator\, and the New York Times bestselling author of “Baba Yaga’s Assistant.” She studied illustration\, art history\, creative writing\, and ceramics at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore\, Maryland and received her BFA in Illustration in 2009. Marika then went on to study creative writing and children’s literature at Simmons College\, receiving an MFA in Writing for Children in 2012.  In addition to writing and illustrating\, Marika teaches Studio Art\, Illustration\, and Children’s Literature online for the State University of New York\, Empire State College\, works as an indie bookseller\, and teaches classes through the Emerson Umbrella Arts Center in Concord\, MA. She’s also taught Children’s Literature for the K-6 Classroom for Skidmore College’s Education department. Her awards include a 2016 Ivan Gold Fiction Fellowship from Writers’ Room of Boston; 2015 Finalist for JP Reads Flash Fiction Contest; Rusty Drugan Scholarship from New England Independent Booksellers’ Association\, 2012\, and CHIRP Scholarship for Winter Institute 7 from Candlewick Press\, 2012. Marika grew up in Glens Falls\, and currently resides in Somerville\, MA. You can learn more about her and her work at marikamccoola.com. \nJennifer Sattler is the award winning author and illustrator of several children’s books\, including “Sylvie\,” which won the Mockingbird Award and the Georgia Children’s Book Award\, “Uh O DoDo\,” and her newest book “Frankie The Blankie.” She is also the author of the popular “Chick-N-Pug” and “Pig Kahuna” series. Jennifer earned her BFA in painting from the University of New Hampshire and MFA from Indiana University\, Bloomington. In 1996\, she won a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Although she has worked as a landscape painter and professor of painting and drawing\, her real passion is creating books for children. After her first daughter Mayzie was born\, she found it harder and harder to get out to the painting studio. “I couldn’t wait to read to Mayzie. She slept most of the time\, but I kept reading\, silly voices and all! The magic of picture books excited me so much more than making pictures to hang on the wall.” Jennifer began drawing elephants\, Mayzie’s favorite animals at the time. A year later her first book was published\, “Bella’s Saratoga Summer\,” starring Bella the Elephant (named after their 100 lb. dog). The following year her second book was published. “All Aboard Owney! The Adirondack Mail Dog” was based on the true story of a scruffy dog that rode the rails in the early 1900’s. She says: “I’ve been asked why I only use animals as my characters in my books.  It’s simple\, really. I want children to identify with the personalities of my characters\, their situations\, worries and joys… When the characters are animals\, it’s much more universally relatable.” Jennifer lives and works in Saratoga Springs.  You can learn more about her and her work at jennifersattlerbooks.com. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs\, Adirondack Studios\, Price Chopper’s Golub Foundation and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

SUMMARY:Electron │ Photon
DESCRIPTION:September 23 – October 27\, 2017  \n3 Photographers’ Unique Approach to Image-Making – Dee Breger\, Suran Song and Eleanor Sweeney \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 23\, 4 – 6 pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \nRead: Albany Times Union Review Here \nDee Breger \nEleanor Sweeney \nSuran Song \nDee Breger’s images stand at the intersection of art\, science\, education and technology. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) she worked with could magnify a specimen over 300\,000 times. The structures seen in her images are preserved\, while their aesthetic presentation is manipulated through an array of graphics techniques.  She says: “In using a research laboratory’s high-tech visualizing instrument to produce revelatory – and relevant – art\, my goal is to offer arresting pictures of the microworld that inspire a sense of wonder at its elegance\, astonishment at its diversity\, and delight in the stories it has to tell. As a scientist grounded in the disciplines of research\, I seek to maintain the integrity – the truth – of the specimens. As an artist\, I want my images to speak to the viewer’s heart.” \nDee Breger received a degree in Art from the University of Wisconsin and began her career as a scientific illustrator at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory\, switching to electron microscopy soon after. She founded Lamont/Columbia’s first professional SEM and X-ray microanalysis facility\, which she directed for 22 years. Her work has been exhibited around the world and was featured in the BBC documentary “Hidden Visions.”  Her book “Journeys into Microspace: The Art of the Scanning Electron Microscope” was featured in the New York Times magazine. Besides specializing in the technology\, scientific application\, and artistry of the SEM\, Breger also led or participated in several Earth science programs on over 30 field expeditions\, with a specialization in Antarctic oceanography. From 2004 to 2009 she served as Director of Microscopy at Drexel University. She retired from academia in 2009 to return to her first love: art. She launched Micrographic Arts that year in Saratoga Springs\, NY\, where she lived until her death\, working as a consultant and artist. Dee Breger passed away in September of 2016 after a battle with leukemia. More information about Dee Breger can be found at www.micrographicarts.com\,and her TED Ed talk\, “Visualizing Hidden Worlds Inside Your Body\,” can be seen at https://ed.ted.com/lessons/visualizing-hidden-worlds-inside-your-body-dee-breger. \nSanskrit and the civics of politics\, as well as a routine practice of Yoga\, are both strong influences for Suran Song. Her work encompasses printmaking\, painting\, installation\, sculpture\, photography\, video and performance art. A recent project “There’s More to Life Than Increasing Its Speed! We need each other here!” contains a series of limited edition c-prints depicting flower mandalas projected on to the hands of participants held in various mudras (symbolic hand gestures)\, while practicing yogic breathing. The work is inspired by her routine practice of Yoga and the Sanskrit Pushpam Veda mantra\, a Vedic hymn that expresses water as the basis of the universe and is used at the time of offering flowers to the deities at the very end of the Pujas (a prayer ritual performed to honor one or more deities). Song conceived of the project as a means for participants to practice fasting from cell phones and other screens by  returning to their breath and presence\, and to experience colors often used in yogic therapy to transmit uplifting and healing vibrations.  She says: “I am interested in engaging with the public by making experiential art that transcends the viewer. Working in a multitude of disciplines further allows me to continually test the boundaries of the senses\, the embrace of Sanskrit and the breath\, all core elements that inform my artistic path.” \nSuran Song earned her BFA from University of The Arts in Philadelphia\, PA and her MFA from Parsons School of Design\, New York\, NY. She has received awards and residencies from the Queens Council for the Arts and the New York Artist and Community Council: The Laundromat Project.  Her work has been exhibited at numerous venues\, including The Villa Terrace Museum of Decorative Arts\, Milwaukee\, WI; Chashama Windows Project\, Harlem\, NY; Art in Odd Places\, New York\, NY; The Walk Exchange\, London\, England & New York\, NY; Southview Co-operative\, Queens\, NY; Shirin Gallery\, Chelsea\, NY\, NY; Queens Museum\, Queens\, NY. Center for Documentary Studies\, Duke University\, Durham\, NC; The Experimental Space\, Long Island City\, NY; and Fabio Scalia Art Space\, Brooklyn\, NY.  In addition to being a multi-media artist and performer\, she is a student of Sanskrit\, and a yoga instructor with an International Teacher’s Certification in Himalayan Yoga. She lives and works in Jackson Heights\, Queens\, NY. More information about Suran Song and her work can be found at www.suransong.com  and also at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn2P7snwycY\, where she is a featured artist in a brief video describing her work. \nPhotographer Eleanor Sweeney makes digital transfers on metal\, paper\, wood and fabric\, as well as traditional photographic prints. Her eye is often drawn to small\, ordinary things\, which she likes to manipulate a bit. She says: “I have been making photographs for a long time\, starting out with classic black and white images.  Gradually I became interested in color\, doing a little hand coloring and working with colored slides.  For many years\, I made Polaroid transfers\, and later began to teach myself to make transfers using digital photographs. This way I can play around with color and shape in the computer.  All the photographs in this show are reflections in silver Mylar. I place a sheet of Plexiglas covered by a piece of Mylar against a tree or wall or something\, set up the tripod to the side\, and photograph what is reflected. The Mylar is not very tight\, so it ripples in the slightest breeze\, creating the wavy abstract result in the photograph. Some of the photographs are printed on paper\, while others are transferred onto metal or wood.” \nEleanor Sweeney\, born in Cincinnati\, Ohio 1937\, earned a BA in Russian from Middlebury College in 1959. She studied photography at North Country Community College from 1974-1976\, and took various photography workshops around the country. In 1997 she co-founded Adirondack Artists Guild in Saranac Lake\, NY.  Her work has been exhibited widely throughout the Northeast\, and featured in solo exhibitions at Adirondack Artists Guild and Pendragon Theatre\, both in Saranac Lake; St Louis Artists Guild; Visitor Interpretive Centers in Paul Smiths and Newcomb\, NY; Geonomics Center at Middlebury College\, VT; and For ArtSake in Malone\, NY.  Recent group exhibitions include “Catching Water\,” Bluseed Studios\, Saranac Lake and “Imagined Landscapes\,” Lake Placid Center for the Arts. She is the recipient of three NY decentralization grants\, and was awarded Best In Show at Frederic Remington “Members’ Show” (2017) and First Place in Photography in “Central Adk Art Show” at View Old Forge\, NY (2017). She lives and work in Saranac Lake\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Community Exchange Foundation\, Adirondack Studios and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

SUMMARY:Open Immediately: Collages by Sarah Nicole Phillips
DESCRIPTION:November 11 – December 15\, 2017 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 11\, 4 – 6 pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n  \nSarah Nicole Phillips is a Toronto-born\, Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist. Her recent work is a series of collages created with hundreds of recycled\, patterned security envelopes. She says: “I began playing with security envelopes when I had an office job. I would tear open the mail every day and started noticing the intricate patterns printed on their insides. Security envelopes are used to camouflage sensitive and private documents. Their decorative patterns make it impossible to read what is inside. For this body of work\, the imagery is inspired by naturally occurring camouflage. That’s what the printed pattern is for\, to hide documents\, and it made sense to echo the botany and camouflage idea in the work… some scenes are benign\, such as a square of monotonous grass\, suggestive of a wider expanse of more of the same. Recent collages include office and lobby imagery such as cubicles\, elevators and artificial floral arrangements. These collages represent a fantasy in which the material of the reliable\, boring disappointments of life\, are transformed into a means of escape.” \nSarah Nicole Phillips earned her B.A. in Visual Studies from the University of Toronto in 2003\, and her MFA from Brooklyn College in 2006\, with a concentration in printmaking. From 2006-07 she participated in a year-long artist residency at the Lower Eastside Print Shop where taught monotype. Sarah exhibits widely in Canada and the US and has recently been included in shows at the Queens Museum of Art\, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and The McKinley Arts & Culture Center in Reno\, NV. In 2009 and 2014 she was a recipient of Brooklyn Arts Council Grants. Her other awards include residency fellowships from The Kimmel Harding Nelson Center\, Nebraska City\, NE\, and Blue Mountain Center\, Blue Mountain Lake\, NY. Her work is in the permanent collection of NYU Langone Hospital. For more information about her work\, please visit www.sarahnicolephillips.com. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Community Exchange Foundation\, Adirondack Studios and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment.

SUMMARY:Ceramics by Regis Brodie and Paintings by Leslie Yolen
DESCRIPTION:January 13 – February 15\, 2018  \nArtists Reception: Saturday\, February 3rd\, 4 – 6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \nRegis Brodie \n   \nLeslie Yolen \n \nRegis Brodie works in porcelain and stoneware. His colorful\, surface-layered ceramics are the culmination of his training as a painter and sculptor. Both painting and sculpture are parallel and overlapping experiences in his works. He says “My methodology of making art is exploratory in nature. It deals with the direct manipulation of materials and processes. My vessel or sculptural forms are elegant and classical. The surface painting\, drawing\, and textural treatment on the other hand\, is out of the Abstract Expressionist and Post-Modernist Schools. I love the interplay that is created between the refinements of the form and the spontaneously decorated surface. It contrasts the elegant with the organic. I am tight and at the same time loose… I do not establish a hierarchy or dominance of the form (mass) verses the surface (decoration). As I consider the form\, the surface reveals itself as it becomes intrinsic and essential to the whole.” \nRegis Brodie is an Emeritus Professor of Art at Skidmore College. He earned his B.S. and Masters in Art Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and his M.F.A. from the Tyler School of Art of Temple University\, Philadelphia\, PA. Regis taught for 41 years in the Studio Art department at Skidmore College until his retirement in 2011. In addition to his regular teaching duties he directed Skidmore’s prestigious “Summer SIX Art Program” for 35 years\, as well taught in the Summer SIX Art Program for 39 of those years. His work was recently shown at Laffer Gallery and the Saratoga Clay Studio\, both in Schuylerville\, NY. Regis continues his ongoing body of work with lectures and exhibits worldwide. \nLeslie Yolen has worked predominantly in clay until recently\, when encaustics became her favored medium. She finds her process of encaustic painting\, (beeswax and tree resin mixed with pigments) similar to the additive and subtractive processes of working with clay. Her paintings on wood panels are created using brushes\, torches\, knives\, and scraping tools. Her series of work for this exhibit is titled “Treescapes”. She says “These paintings were inspired by my lifelong fascination with trees and the way they frame our world in different light and through different seasons. The genesis for these paintings was the clearing of brush at the edge of the woods around my home\, opening new and inviting views into and through the woods.” \nLeslie Yolen earned her B.F.A. from Bennington College and an M.S. in Visual Arts Education from the College of Saint Rose. She is the Arts Education Associate for the New York State Education Department’s Office of Curriculum & Instruction\, where she provides statewide leadership in relation to the implementation of the NYS Learning Standards for the Arts\, supporting arts teachers\, administrators and students across the state. Prior to working with NYSED\, Leslie taught Visual Art in the public schools\, focusing on curriculum development\, instructional planning\, and professional development for arts teachers. Her recent exhibitions include a solo show at Carey Institute for Global Good in Rensselaerville\, NY\, and “Great Places and Spaces”\, Albany Center Gallery’s satellite exhibit at the New York State Museum\, Albany NY. She lives and works in rural Albany County\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by Adirondack Studios\, Mirror Lake Inn\, Lake Placid\, The Community Exchange Foundation\, and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

SUMMARY:Just Beyond the River\, mixed media work by Daesha Devón Harris
DESCRIPTION:March 10 – April 13\, 2018 \nOpening Reception Saturday\, March 10\, 4 – 6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n   \nDaesha Devón Harris is a mixed media artist weaving texts with images\, historical and current\, that often focus on her own home town community of Saratoga Springs\, NY. By subtly combining biographic information of her subjects within her mixed media/photographic work\, she documents the challenges facing urban neighborhoods\, the severe effects of gentrification on many communities\, as well as the diverse and rich contributions of many through history that are rarely\, if ever\, told. She says: “Through my artwork I strive to promote a sincere understanding of the contemporary and historic contributions of people of color … with insight\, compassion and protectiveness I endeavor to capture the ‘life’ that continues to evolve amidst struggle and success. And with ardent respect for a profound past\, I challenge the viewer to consider the complexity of issues facing communities of color.” \nJust Beyond the River features selections from Harris’ series of mixed media pieces\, made using a personal collection of unidentified discarded Victorian era portraits. In production over multiple years\, throughout every season\, her process includes submerging a transparent version of a portrait in a body of water amongst an arranged aquatic still-life and photographing the constructed scene. The resulting image\, layered with various visual elements from the past and the present\, is in fact a single frame embodying all components in the same space. Also featured are selections from Harris’ newest exploration of underwater imagery that combines time-lapse photography with choreographed movements and reenactments. This work is inspired by Negro Folklore\, Slave Narratives and Harlem Renaissance poetry and aims to illuminate America’s enduring legacies of colonialism and systemic racism that defines our nation’s history\, while reiterating the central narrative that emerges from the referenced memoirs – the ongoing struggle for Freedom. \nDaesha Devón Harris earned her BFA in Studio Art from the College of Saint Rose\, Albany\, NY\, and her MFA in Visual Art from The University at Buffalo\, NY. She has been featured in numerous exhibitions across New York State\, and beyond. Her work was recently exhibited at the 80th Mohawk-Hudson Regional at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls\, NY; Many Rivers: Black Dimensions In Art\, 40 Years at the Saratoga Art Center; the 37th Annual Photography Regional at the Opalka Gallery in Albany; Reclamation at Collar Works Gallery and Just Beyond The River at the Rensselaer County Historical Society\, both in Troy\, NY. Along with her work as a visual artist\, Harris is active in her community as a youth advocate and cultural history preservationist. Her awards include grants from NYSCA/Saratoga County Arts Funding\, and she has been a featured artist and speaker at many art\, community and educational events\, including the 15th Annual Underground Railroad Public History Conference in Troy\, NY (2016)\, the MDOCS Portrait and Biography Series and the Harry Burleigh Commemoration Event (2016)\, both at Skidmore College Saratoga Springs\, NY. You can learn more about her work at http://www.daeshadevonharris.com. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust\, Adirondack Studios\, Mirror Lake Inn\, Lake Placid\, The Community Exchange Foundation\, and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

SUMMARY:"Rest Area" A Solo Exhibition of work by Rob O'Neil
DESCRIPTION:May 5 – June 8\, 2018 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, May 5th\, 4 – 6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \nReview online: Albany Times Union \n  \nRob O’Neil finds beauty in unexpected places\, particularly Rest Stops\, found along highways all through the country. He is fascinated by their variety in size and amenities: some highlight past history; some are peaceful settings with gardens\, and are family friendly; others are mall-like\, selling goods; some are simple with only a picnic table and a trashcan.  They are necessary places\, all sharing a common goal: “…off-road spaces with provisions for emergency stopping and resting by motorists for short periods” (A Policy on Safety Rest Areas for the National System of Interstate
and Defense Highways\, 1958). After earning his undergraduate degree\, O’Neil took a job that had him driving a box truck across the Eastern United States several times a year. Rest areas became a vital part of his driving experience.  He says: “Like a draftsman’s line across a white sheet of paper\, highways and interstates paint sweeping arcs and pin-straight lines across the landscape. Multiple midpoints exist on these lines; they’re called rest areas\, travel plazas\, picnic areas\, pit stops\, or welcome centers. Even with the constant drone of traffic\, these are areas of comfort and serenity. There is a structure and plan that makes sense; we breathe\, and our weary bodies relax a little bit. These places are interesting and useful physically\, sociologically\, and emotionally.” \nRob O’Neil earned his BFA with a concentration in photography from the University of Akron\, Ohio and his MFA in Cinema and Photography from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. His work has been exhibited at many regional galleries and museums\, including Esther Massry Gallery; Albany Center Galleries; Albany Institute of History and Art; Opalka Gallery; University at Albany Museum; and Albany International Airport Gallery\, all located in Albany\, NY; The Arts Center of the Capital Region\, Troy\, NY; Saratoga Arts\, Saratoga Springs\, NY; and the Schenectady Museum\, Schenectady\, NY.

SUMMARY:Roots and Branches: Work by Betsy Krebs
DESCRIPTION:June 22 – 30\, 2018 \nOpening Reception Friday\, June 22\, 5 – 7 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n  \nRoots & Branches: Work by Betsy Krebs\nA visual conversation about an unassuming building in Lake George\, NY\, and its impact on the community. \nBetsy Krebs says the genesis of the exhibit “Roots and Branches” evolved from a strong desire to bring attention to the unique humanitarian history and events that have taken place at the Old Stone School House\,a historic building located in the Town of Lake George\, and her former place of residence. Krebs says this “stoic folk Victorian structure exudes strength and protection as a community strong hold. While teaching locally and living in the school house\, my dream was to find out more about the space\, since a lot of information was undocumented oral history.  Notable Metropolitan opera singer Madam Homer was known to sing at the school house every Sunday during summer months. Georgia O’Keeffe was known to take walks on Middle road\, as told by local\, Clara Mae Norton.  Another notable neighbor was Edward Morse Shepard\, the man that Shepard Park\, in the Village of Lake George\, is named after. He also built and lived in what is known as Erlowest\,right down the hill from the school house.  The works in the exhibition are a spin off from a recipe book compiled in 1910 by the ladies of the ‘Lend a hand’ club that used the building as a meeting place after hours and on weekends\, working to find ways to help the community. The recipes they compiled were the catalyst for each image in the exhibit. Recipes were submitted by local community members\, as well as seasonal residents.” \nBetsy Krebs earned her M.S. in Art Education from the College of Saint Rose in Albany\, NY. Her work has been featured in many solo and group exhibitions throughout the NY North Country\, including the Albany Boys Academy in Albany\, NY; the College of Saint Rose; the Gibson Gallery in Potsdam College\, Potsdam\, NY; the Cool Beans Cafe Gallery in Queensbury NY; Valley Artisans Gallery in Cambridge\, NY; The Hyde Museum in Glens Falls\, NY; the Saratoga Arts Center\, Saratoga\, NY; Adirondack Community College\, Queensbury\, The Lake Placid Center for the Arts and L.A.R.A.C. Arts Gallery in Glens Falls\, NY. \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. This exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
