"Fluorescent Dirt" featuring the work of AU alumni and current faculty Patrick Brennan, and artist/ collaborator Grace Sachi Troxell, will be on display at the Cohen Gallery June 8 - July 25, with a reception Friday, July 7, 5-7pm. Summer hours are Wednesday - Saturday 11am to 2pm.

This exhibition of paintings and sculpture deals with notions around the culling of sources - natural and unnatural - for materials and their use as a guide for both artists' rigorous studio investigations. The two artists bonded in graduate school at Cornell over David Batchelor's book "Chromophobia", which opened up the space for them to collaborate and explore their respective materials of paint and clay. They continue this conversation with "Fluorescent Dirt".

The Committee for Religious and Racial healing will be sponsoring a Juneteenth Celebration at Veterans Park (formerly known as James Street Park) in Hornell from 11 am to 3 pm on Saturday, June 17. Juneteenth is a celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19th, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that all slaves were now free. Juneteenth has long been celebrated in the Black community. As of 2022, Juneteenth became a national holiday.

The Juneteenth Celebration in Hornell will include some brief historical talks, a re-enactment of the original Juneteenth, performances, games, and other activities. The event is free and open to everyone. The Committee for Racial and Religious Healing hopes that this will become an annual celebration.
