A Must View Exhibit at Athens Cultural Center

“A Declaration of Sentiments: Refl ections on the Centennial of Women’s Right to Vote in New York State” continues through August 20, 2017 at the Athens Cultural Center. The show is designed and curated by Carrie Feder. Ms. Feder has a particular fascination with the mid 19th century. “A Declaration of Sentiments...” starts with those turbulent and idea laden times and uses it as a nexus for further exploration of the women’s suffrage movement. The exhibit is both a historical and conceptual explora- tion of the centennial of women’s right to vote and a literal declaration of sentiments by contemporary women artists as they refl ect upon the struggle in the past, in the present, or in their own lives. Gallery Hours are Friday, 4-7 pm; Saturday, 2-7 pm and Sunday, 1-4 pm. The Athens Cultural Center is located at 24 Second Street in the historic and beautiful town along the Hudson River, Athens, New York. This event is made possible in part with public funds from the Decentralization Program of the New York State Council on the Arts, administered in Greene County by the Greene County Council on the Arts through the Community Arts Grants program as well as the Peckham Family Foundation, the Athens Community Foundation, Verdigris Tea and others.
