Reception: Horticultural Art Show, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Warren County

About this event

The Town of Chester Public Library is proud to announce its May exhibit which will feature the Inaugural Cornell Cooperative Extension Warren County (CCE) Horticulture Art Show in the Ruplin Gallery. The show features art created by Warren County Master Gardener volunteers, 4H youth and community members, in mediums such as photography, painting, drawing, textiles and wood; a number of pieces will be for sale to benefit CCE.  

Please join us for the exhibit reception on Friday, May 9th from 4 - 5 pm. The gallery will also feature educational materials about CCE and its programs, and include information on native plants, pollinators, trees, fruits and vegetables, houseplants, floral arrangement, and natural landscapes.  CCE staff and many of the artists will be present for the reception and talk about their work and answer questions.

“The art show is a great way to welcome spring in the Adirondacks, which most of us eagerly await.  More than 30 local artists have created beautiful work reflecting and interpreting the nature that surrounds us.  We hope the show and educational materials will inspire you to learn more about plants and the natural landscapes and support your own growing: whether it be in a garden or in your home” said Linden Pearsall, Community Horticulture Coordinator.  “Our youth so enjoyed creating art based on the outdoors and excited to share their work in this inaugural show” said Roxanne Macaulay Westcott, 4H Program educator.   

Although the reception afternoon/night will feature a presentation and refreshments, the exhibit will also be available for viewing for the entire month of May during library hours.
