North Creek Mosaic Project Fundraiser
The North Creek Mosaic Project is a large-scale community mural, designed to beautify the retaining walls that flank the entrance into downtown North Creek. Led by local artist Kate Hartley, the Johnsburg Fine Arts Group and over 200 volunteers of all ages began the first section in 2011. The 180-foot-long mural will depict a scene representing the nature and recreation of our area on an ideal spring day - the river, mountains, sky and trees, with accents of skiers, boaters, fishermen, flora and fauna. Many local businesses and individuals have already contributed labor, and lots and lots of tile and glass! We’re gearing up to finish the first panel this spring… and beginning the second – featuring a fly fisherman - in July, 2012.
Please join us for a viewing of photographs of the mural at barVino from 6 - 8. Wine and light hors d'ouevres will be served. A suggested minimum donation of $10 will go towards the Mosaic Project.

"Inventing Fashion: Iroquois Beadwork and the 'Art of Flowering' " Lecture
March 18, 2012
In the mid-19th century, New York State officials began to collect Iroquois material culture, intending to preserve remnants of what they saw as a vanishing race. At the same time, Iroquois women were discovering that their beadwork was appealing to the fashionable Victorian women flocking to Niagara Falls and Saratoga Springs on the Grand Tour of America. In this multimedia presentation, Empire State College Lecturer Deborah Holler traces the historic development of Iroquois beadwork and costume, which came to define the public image of "Indian-ness" around the world. Images are drawn from the collections of the Lewis Henry Morgan and Rochester museums, as well as private collections. These images also illuminate the contributions of the Iroquois to the textile arts, as well as the complex cultural exchange that defined the fashions of 19th century New York State.
This Speakers in the Humanities event, which is free and open to the public, is made possible through the support of the New York Council for the Humanities, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Due to construction at the museum, the Cabin Fever Sundays scheduled in Blue Mountain Lake will now be held at the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts at 1:30 p.m. The Museum Store will not be open. We apologize for any inconvenience.
