Posted

JEFFERSONVILLE, NY — Join the Western Sullivan Public Library for a five-part series that combines the science of our local flora and fauna and the creativity of local artists to produce original artwork of your own. All participants are invited to display their artwork at the Jeffersonville branch.

There will be five one-hour presentations from a National Park Service biologist, followed by a guided one-hour art workshop with featured artist Alexis Siroc and special guests. The program begins on Saturday, September 13 with Birds of Prey and Painting/Drawing at the Delaware Free Branch in Callicoon at 3 p.m. The second part will be on Wednesday, September 24, focusing on Painting and Drawing Trees at the Jeffersonville branch at 5:30 p.m.; followed by Collage Making and Invasive Species on Tuesday, October 21 at 5:30 p.m. at the Delaware Free branch in Callicoon. To celebrate Halloween, the Tusten-Cochecton branch in Narrowsburg will host a Bats and Graphic Design workshop on Monday, October 27 at 5:30 p.m. The final program, discussing Winter Adaptation and Journaling, will be held on Saturday, November 8 at 2 p.m. at the Jeffersonville branch. This project was made possible with funds from the 2014 Decentralization Program, administered by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.
