SUNY Oneonta Artist Unveils
Portraits Of 10 Local Heroes
COOPERSTOWN – After piles of nominations and months of secrecy, artist Janet Wentworth Erickson will debut her portrait series, "Community Heroes in Portraiture" at a reception beginning at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9th, at The Farmers’ Museum’s Louis Jones Center. The public is welcome.
The portraits will be hung at The Fenimore Art Museum.
"Portraiture has been a practice since ancient times," said Erickson. "From death masks to selfies, every community wants to capture the likeness of its celebrated citizens."
