June Art Display: The library is fortunate to be able to highlight three Canastota High School Senior Artists for their June shows.<\/p>\n

Brianne Buda, Jordan Sharpe and Audrey Soper will be showing their works until June 21.<\/p>\n

Buda uses photography as a way to express herself. Her goal is to use her camera to open an \u201cunexplored world, a place of self-expression, but a world of new stories, as well.\u201d\u00a0 Sharpe has been interested in art since sixth grade and hopes to become an art therapist.\u00a0 For her, \u201cliving as an artist isn\u2019t just a smart lifestyle,\u201d but a way to help people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The purpose of Soper\u2019s art is to express the beauty in simplistic, everyday moments. Her work will span from her junior high days to her senior portfolio, which recently earned her an Honorable Mention at Scholastic\u2019s Art and Writing Awards.<\/p>\n

The display cases on the main level of the library, near the Circulation Desk will have a collection of Terry Blowers on loan for the month of June.\u00a0 The collection will include antique eyeglasses, various types of scissors and early renditions of light bulbs.<\/p>\n
