Tioga County Council on the Arts is thrilled to announce a new collaborative art event called artfully SQUARED. Artfully SQUARED is open to creatives of all ages and skill levels. Here's how it works: use ANY medium to make a piece that measures 7" square, donate your artwork to Tioga County Council on the Arts (TCCA), and then come see the exhibition and buy original artwork for your walls! All artworks will be exhibited in TCCA's ArtSpace Gallery during the entire month of April and each piece will be available to purchase for $20. In addition to our regular weekly gallery hours, TCCA will be open 10 am - 5 pm on Saturdays for the whole month of April. There is no fee to enter and all proceeds will benefit the programs at Tioga County Council on the Arts . Submissions have already started coming in- we'll be sharing them here soon. Click here for a submission form. We can't wait to see what YOU make!

Due to the promise of inclement weather, we've decided to postpone our Open House until February 22nd. Be safe and keep warm, everyone! We'll see you on the 22nd.

Open House!

Come celebrate with us! Tioga County Council on the Arts invites the public to an Open House at 179 Front St. to celebrate the restoration of our classroom space. The downstairs classroom and storage area at the Arts Council was badly damaged in the 2012 flood, and, thanks to so many donors, the space has been remarkably renovated. We invite you to come tour our newly restored classroom and meet our new Executive Director, Abbey Hendrickson. You’ll also get the first look at our Spring workshop schedule, and enjoy an evening of live music by JFK, as well refreshments.

Coming soon...

Pat Kane on Sunday

 
Tioga County Council on the Arts is pleased to announce the first concert in our “Always on Sunday” concert series! Featuring popular Irish folk musician Pat Kane, the concert will be held on Sunday, January 20th at 3:00 pm at the First Presbyterian Union Church, on the corner of North Avenue and Church Street in Owego.

On fiddle, guitar, and bodhran, Kane plays jigs, reels, square dances, and hundreds of ballads from Ireland and America. He has written many fine songs and knows a host of modern selections as well. Kane is often called "the best there is" and has twice won first place for singing at the NYC Fleadh Cheoil. He has produced a good number of albums and hosts a weekly radio show in Elmira.

TCCA's "Always on Sunday” concerts are free and open to the public; however, donations are welcome. The remaining concerts in the 2013 series are:
February 17: Cobblestone Crossing
March 17: Al Hamme with Bill Carter and the Presbybop Trio
April 21: light opera and song by Tri-Cities Opera Company

All "Always on Sunday" concerts take place at the First Presbyterian Union Church. A reception with light refreshments follows each.

The “Always on Sunday” series is made possible in part with funding from the Tioga County Senior Citizens Foundation and the Cooper Foundation.

January exhibition...

We're getting ready for our January exhibition! Work by graffiti-inspired oil painter, Jim DeLucia, will be on display at Tioga County Council on the Arts (TCCA) for the entire month of January.

DeLucia works predominantly in oil paint on canvas and paper. His current work combines patterns, stencils and graffiti which act as an atmosphere to the central figure. Often, the subject is surrounded by blocks of muted color and subtle line work merging foreground and background.

Jim is a BFA graduate of the State University of New York at Brockport. He works from his studio in the Anderson Alley Complex in Rochester's historic Neighborhood of the Arts district. His work has been widely exhibited and Tioga County Council on the Arts is thrilled to be exhibiting his artwork next month. We'll be posting more images of Jim's work over the next few weeks.

ArtSpace Gallery at TCCA is open Monday-Friday, 10 am- 5 pm.
