CAC announces upcoming weekend events

NORWICH – Beginning this upcoming Friday, June 9, the Chenango Arts Council (CAC) will host two events in its quest to bring culture through arts to the residents of greater Chenango County.

On Friday, at 5:30 p.m., the CAC is proud to introduce selected works of artist and illustrator Erich Kennedy in the Mariea Brown and Raymond Loft Galleries located behind the Martin Kappel Theater within the facility at 27 West Main St.

Following formal education at the Fashion Institute of Technology and receiving his B.S. with honors, Kennedy began his early career as a fashion illustrator, having many published pieces in Women’s Wear Daily, The New York Times and numerous other fashion publications and trade magazines.

Kennedy segued from an art director position to fashion, to finally designing and merchandising of garments, working mostly in sportswear and active apparel.

Kennedy lived and worked in Manhattan for 30 years, and most recently has made his home in central upstate New York State-spending much of his time painting at his lake house studio. He chooses to paint and sketch quintessential rural central New York images.

Well versed in many mediums, the artist’s preference is watercolor-transparent, opaque, and a combination to achieve an “honest and real” approach to his subject matter.

The reception is free and open to the public and will conclude at 7:30 p.m., but Kennedy’s work will remain installed until June 23, 2017; and can be viewed Monday thought Thursday from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m., or by appointment. All are invited and encouraged to attend.

On Sunday, June 11, the Chenango Arts Council, along with support from the Wild Owl Cafe at 28 South Broad St., Norwich have organized a Sunday Music and Poetry Morning beginning at 11 a.m.

Poets, performers and musicians alike have collaborated to bring together the like-minded for a feast of cultural enjoyment, mimosas and hors d’oeuvres.

Tickets to the event are $15 and include gourmet snacks and one free mimosa for those 21 and over. Tickets can be purchased either at the Chenango Arts Council office at 27 West Main St, or at the Wild Owl Cafe at 28 South Broad St.
