ITHACA— Tompkins County Public Library will introduce the next exhibits in the 2019 “Space” theme on First Friday Gallery Night, July 5 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. The evening will also include dance performances, a preview of a documentary, and a Pop Up Open Art Hive.
Infinity in a Box Curator Maude Rith has assembled an exhibit of shadow boxes called “Infinity in a Box.” These shadow boxes both show and contain.
