SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: 'Genderqueer Pioneers: The Lavender Hill Legacy'
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit on display at the Cherry Gallery August 4th-September 17th \nWHEN: Exhibit Opening August 4th – 5-8pm \nExhibit on display weekends 1-5pm – August 4th-September 17th \nWHERE: The Cherry Gallery\, 130 Cherry St\, Ithaca NY 14850 \nIn 1973\, a brave group of big city homosexuals left the disparaging metropolis and bought a piece of land together out in Danby. They built shelters\, they planted gardens\, and they partied. A lot. They called themselves the Lavender Hill Collective. \nSo much has changed since 1973. What used to be unspoken – and even censured! – about gender identity is now part of everyday vocabulary and culture. Reverence for the earth and home-grown food is as mainstream as “supermarkets” and more idealized than “convenience.” Communities of makers\, maker spaces\, and other artist groups sustain and unite us as politics urges us to split apart. \nWith this exhibition\, we celebrate the Lavender Hill collective as pioneering genderqueer artists. Along with art made by members of the collective\, we are also showing some contemporary pieces that channel the Lavender Hill legacy. After the commune itself ended\, their openness to love and adventure\, land and community endures. \nThis exhibition is co-presented by The Cherry Arts\, and The History Center in Tompkins County and curated by Judy Swann and Laurence Clarkberg. \n. \nLAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT \nThis event will take place in the traditional and contemporary lands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫˀ Nation (Cayuga)\, one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Learn more at thehistorycenter.net/land-acknowledgement.

SUMMARY:Traverse Tompkins Annual Fundraiser - Building Bridges
DESCRIPTION:Building Bridges – Historic Bridges Across Tompkins County\nSEPTEMBER 23RD – 24TH \nTraverse Tompkins started in the fall of 2020 as a unique fundraiser to support The History Center in Tompkins County during the COVID-19 pandemic. Executive Director Benjamin Sandberg biked all around the county\, live streaming videos exploring historical points of interest in each municipality. His challenge was to ride as many miles as possible in a single 24-hour period. We now invite all of our community to join us as we Traverse Tompkins and discover local history. \nThe basic premise is simple – how many miles can you bike\, run\, paddle\, or travel in a 24-hour period and how much can you learn about Tompkins County bridges while exploring? Support a registered cyclist or runner\, or register to join us this year! \nThere are two ways to participate and join the effort to keep our history alive. \nOption 1: Sign up for free and commit to asking your community for pledges to support your travels. Fueled by your obvious love for history and Tompkins County\, reach out to your friends\, family\, and colleagues to pledge their support for your challenge. Their pledge – of any amount – gets calculated after you complete your mileage. \nOption 2: Buy an entry ticket! Asking for pledges isn’t for everyone\, but Traverse Tompkins should be. Your ticket price goes directly towards supporting The History Center’s mission\, and you still get to explore the bridges of Tompkins County! \nFind out more on our campaign site: https://charity.pledgeit.org/BuildingBridgesSupport Traverse Tompkins: Building Bridges | PledgeIt for Charities \nLearn more at thehistorycenter.net/traverse-tompkins and see our highlights from Facing Floods in 2022\, and Finding Fires in 2021.
