In Play: Borders & Edges
The Film Days exhibition In Play: Borders & Edges opens Sunday, November 3 with a Reception from 4 pm to 6 pm. The exhibit features works by Richard Barlow, Amy Cannon, Mark Mastroianni, and Gail Peachin, curated by Sydney L. Waller.
The show riffs on the Film Days theme, Boundaries, and invites viewers to examine the relationships and contrasts the artists evoke, sometimes sharp, sometimes blurred, sometimes both. The exhibit will be open 12 pm to 4 pm during Film Days.
Glimmerglass Film Days is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, as well as the Scriven Foundation, the Otsego County Community Events Program, and generous sponsors and donors.
