Making History - Artists of the Southern Finger Lakes
Twenty-four artists gathered together for ten sessions during the winter and spring of 2011 to experience The Business of Art, a professional development program presented by Southern Tier Economic Growth and The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes. With primary funding through The Community Foundation of Elmira – Corning and the Finger Lakes, the participants received advice on the promotional, legal, and practical sides of their chosen arts.
These artists mounted an exhibition of their work at the Chemung Valley History Museum, 415 East Water Street, Elmira that opened Saturday, October 1, 2011. The exhibit was on display through October 29, free of charge to all visitors.
There was a panel discussion with the participants on Tuesday evening, October 11, from 6 to 8PM. The artists described how the Business of Art program has affected their professional endeavors.
The Business of Art program was a true collaboration within the arts community of the Southern Tier. Directed by STEG and The ARTS, and funded by the Community Foundation, the sessions were presented at five cultural venues: Arnot Art Museum, Chemung Valley History Museum, Steele Memorial Library, Community Arts of Elmira, and Clemens Performing Arts Center.
