Hamlet Cha Cha Cha

The Central New York Playhouse @ Shoppingtown Mall 3649 Erie Blvd. E. Syracuse, NY 13214

Totally insane. And totally hilarious. You all know the story of Hamlet--but never has a plot line been followed by such gleefully drunken footsteps, singing all the way!

On view through the summer of 2013, the exhibit features objects ranging from surgical forceps and scalpels to rifle sights, bayonets, and other gun accessories. Plenty of parachute hardware can be seen including the amazing “Quick Release” buckle. Also on display is a hand grenade casing, a mess kit, a “Superrench,” artifacts from World War I, and compressor blades made for jet engineers of the Air Force during the Korean and Cold Wars. Panels designed by Don Cornue, Sign & Art, Etc., show the manufacture of airplane wing controls, fuel tanks, and bomb shackles as well as the products of the company’s Canastota Division.

Installed by Maria Skinner, Simply Designed Spaces, the exhibit contains more than 100 period photographic views. Original magazine ads illustrate such famous advertising campaigns as “These Are The Things We Are Fighting For” and “Back Home For Keeps!” Issues of The Community Commando, Oneida’s wartime newsletter, are available to examine.

Cogar Gallery Features Works of Alumnus Kathleen Deep

Herkimer County Community College, Cogar Gallery

Herkimer County Community College’s Cogar Gallery will feature “Follow the Water,” Photographs of alumnus Kathleen Deep, ’08, Ashford, CT from June 7-July 15, 2013 in the Cogar Gallery. An opening reception will be held Friday, June 7 from 7-9pm. Kathleen Deep is a photographer from Upstate New York who continues to work in black & white film. She received her associate in applied science degree in photographic technology from Herkimer County Community College in 2008, and was a member of Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society. She then earned a bachelor in fine arts from Cazenovia College and in May 2013 graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.F.A. in studio art specializing in photography with an art history minor, cum laude. Deep’s work most recently has been exhibited at the Benton Museum in Storrs, CT, and at Sideshow Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. She currently lives and works in Connecticut. “I walk alone amongst the trees. I wade slowly and wait for the water to still,” she said. “By slowing my step and my seeing, I am more aware of my behaviors while wandering. I question what my connection is to the natural world, and where my comfort in silence and solitude derives from. The more I explore and photograph my surroundings; I develop an understanding of them. The more I understand, the closer I feel to becoming part of them,” Deep concluded. The Cogar Gallery is located in the Hummel Corporate and Professional Education Center, at the main entrance to the McLaughlin College Center. It is open to the public free of charge Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. when the College is open. Visit online at www.herkimer.edu/cogar.

KAC Coffeehouse: The Steel Wheels

Kirkland Art Center

“The Steel Wheels Lay Down, Lay Low is a perfect blend of harmony and strings that take you back to the old home place where it was a joy to be alive.” -Larry Winters, KPFT Houston, TX “If one must compare The Steel Wheels to another act in order to get an idea of their music, imagine a blend of the passion of The Avett Brothers, the instrumentals of Old Crow Medicine Show, and then sprinkle in the backwoods feel of The Legendary Shack Shakers. In truth, attempting to compare them with anyone is an injustice, since after one listen you can hear that they stand very well on their own perch.” – John Walker, Americana Roots

Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES building construction students have been working all school year to put a house together, and now the public is invited to tour the house from 4-8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12.

Residents who receive the BOCES houses pay for the cost of the supplies and delivery, and BOCES students conduct all of the work for free under the supervision of instructors Edward Head and John Martin. Students have been putting the house together throughout the school year and are now putting on the finishing touches, Head said. “We want the public to see their wonderful work,” he said.

Cogar Gallery Features Works of Alumnus Kathleen Deep

Herkimer County Community College, Cogar Gallery

Herkimer County Community College’s Cogar Gallery will feature “Follow the Water,” Photographs of alumnus Kathleen Deep, ’08, Ashford, CT from June 7-July 15, 2013 in the Cogar Gallery. An opening reception will be held Friday, June 7 from 7-9pm. Kathleen Deep is a photographer from Upstate New York who continues to work in black & white film. She received her associate in applied science degree in photographic technology from Herkimer County Community College in 2008, and was a member of Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society. She then earned a bachelor in fine arts from Cazenovia College and in May 2013 graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.F.A. in studio art specializing in photography with an art history minor, cum laude. Deep’s work most recently has been exhibited at the Benton Museum in Storrs, CT, and at Sideshow Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. She currently lives and works in Connecticut. “I walk alone amongst the trees. I wade slowly and wait for the water to still,” she said. “By slowing my step and my seeing, I am more aware of my behaviors while wandering. I question what my connection is to the natural world, and where my comfort in silence and solitude derives from. The more I explore and photograph my surroundings; I develop an understanding of them. The more I understand, the closer I feel to becoming part of them,” Deep concluded. The Cogar Gallery is located in the Hummel Corporate and Professional Education Center, at the main entrance to the McLaughlin College Center. It is open to the public free of charge Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. when the College is open. Visit online at www.herkimer.edu/cogar.

Cogar Gallery Features Works of Alumnus Kathleen Deep

Herkimer County Community College, Cogar Gallery

Herkimer County Community College’s Cogar Gallery will feature “Follow the Water,” Photographs of alumnus Kathleen Deep, ’08, Ashford, CT from June 7-July 15, 2013 in the Cogar Gallery. An opening reception will be held Friday, June 7 from 7-9pm. Kathleen Deep is a photographer from Upstate New York who continues to work in black & white film. She received her associate in applied science degree in photographic technology from Herkimer County Community College in 2008, and was a member of Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society. She then earned a bachelor in fine arts from Cazenovia College and in May 2013 graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.F.A. in studio art specializing in photography with an art history minor, cum laude. Deep’s work most recently has been exhibited at the Benton Museum in Storrs, CT, and at Sideshow Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. She currently lives and works in Connecticut. “I walk alone amongst the trees. I wade slowly and wait for the water to still,” she said. “By slowing my step and my seeing, I am more aware of my behaviors while wandering. I question what my connection is to the natural world, and where my comfort in silence and solitude derives from. The more I explore and photograph my surroundings; I develop an understanding of them. The more I understand, the closer I feel to becoming part of them,” Deep concluded. The Cogar Gallery is located in the Hummel Corporate and Professional Education Center, at the main entrance to the McLaughlin College Center. It is open to the public free of charge Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. when the College is open. Visit online at www.herkimer.edu/cogar.

Cogar Gallery Features Works of Alumnus Kathleen Deep

Herkimer County Community College, Cogar Gallery

Herkimer County Community College’s Cogar Gallery will feature “Follow the Water,” Photographs of alumnus Kathleen Deep, ’08, Ashford, CT from June 7-July 15, 2013 in the Cogar Gallery. An opening reception will be held Friday, June 7 from 7-9pm. Kathleen Deep is a photographer from Upstate New York who continues to work in black & white film. She received her associate in applied science degree in photographic technology from Herkimer County Community College in 2008, and was a member of Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society. She then earned a bachelor in fine arts from Cazenovia College and in May 2013 graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.F.A. in studio art specializing in photography with an art history minor, cum laude. Deep’s work most recently has been exhibited at the Benton Museum in Storrs, CT, and at Sideshow Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. She currently lives and works in Connecticut. “I walk alone amongst the trees. I wade slowly and wait for the water to still,” she said. “By slowing my step and my seeing, I am more aware of my behaviors while wandering. I question what my connection is to the natural world, and where my comfort in silence and solitude derives from. The more I explore and photograph my surroundings; I develop an understanding of them. The more I understand, the closer I feel to becoming part of them,” Deep concluded. The Cogar Gallery is located in the Hummel Corporate and Professional Education Center, at the main entrance to the McLaughlin College Center. It is open to the public free of charge Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. when the College is open. Visit online at www.herkimer.edu/cogar.
