ARTISTIC FLAIR
BY THE MILE
West End Gallery in Corning, NY
ONLINE
TICKETIN
G
S
The artistic crown jewel of
Corning is the West End
Gallery. Located on historic
Market Street, the gallery
was founded 35 years ago
as Corning Art & Frame by
Lin and Tom Gardner. For
the first 11 years, the shop
124
mainly served as a frame
shop that sold art supplies
and had a small gallery
space. By ‘89 the business
expanded to be Corning Art
& Frame and West End
Gallery. Eventually the two
businesses separated and
the Gardners decided to
focus exclusively on the
gallery. By 1999 they moved
to their present location at
12 West Market Street. Lin
Gardner is now the owner
and director of the gallery
and her daughter Jesse is
the assistant director.“We
have both chosen this as a
career because this is what
we love to do. We also want
to help the artists do what
they love for a living. We
strive to spread the appreciation of the arts by making
art available to everyone,”
explains Gardner.
The gallery features representational fine art in a
variety of mediums, as
well as three-dimensional
work including glass,
metal, wood, clay and jewelry. These types of work
can be enjoyed in two
exhibit spaces, the Main
Gallery and the Upstairs
Gallery. This month the featured artists are Bridget
Bossart van Otterloo of
Corning, NY, Brian S. Keeler
of Wyalusing, PA and Brian
M. Hart of Corning, NY.“The
West End Gallery customer
is not limited to any particular demographic. Anyone
who appreciates art has
been a client and/or visitor
of the Gallery,” describes
Gardner. Visit www.westendgallery.net or call
607.936.2011.

The
ummer is in the last
throes of its glory
before its lushness
cedes to the colorful
crispness of autumn. How
better to celebrate the
change of season than
with art? Intrepid travelers
need not venture to
Philadelphia or New York
City to soak up some culture. Just a car trip away is
Corning, New York. Corning
is ranked the 23rd best
small arts city by the readers of American Style magazine and one of the six Most
Fun Small Towns by Rand
McNally.

3rd Annual Bark in the Park
Paws for a Cause
hey say there’s
strength in numbers.
So, when 11 local animal shelters pool their
resources into one familycentered, fun-filled event
you know a lot of needy
animals will benefit. The
3rd Annual Bark in the
Park, September 16 at Nay
Aug Park is a veritable petapalooza!
T
In addition to animal shelters
devoted to various breeds,
there will be live entertainment, crafts, demonstrations,
food, games, a memorial walk,
car show and motorcycle
ride. Laura’s Hope Rescue,
based in Hop Bottom, is
tasked as event organizer.
While raising money for local
animal shelters is vital, Hope
Benson says fundraising is a
secondary focus.“Our primary
focus is in raising awareness
for local animal rescue adoption efforts and in promoting
responsible pet ownership.
We are also focused on continuing to build a substantial
audience for the event. If
people come, learn and
enjoy the day with us
we will consider it a
huge success.”
Benson estimates
it will take an
army of 100
volunteers
to staff all
the
goings-on in the park. Those
who attend can plan to
spend the day enjoying all
the offerings.“We’ve worked
hard to substantially
expand the day’s venue so
as to appeal to a much
wider audience– pet owners and non-owners alike–
in hopes of pulling in an
even larger audience this
year,” explains Benson. A
plethora of vendors will show
and sell a variety of merchandise including homemade
crafts, candles, jewelry and
purses, dog biscuits, all natural flea repellant collars, professional pictures and pet
services such as rabies vaccinations, micro-chipping and
nail trimming. Local businesses and organizations will lend
support with free services
and exhibits. Students from
McCann Business School will
offer chair massages and
blood pressure screenings.
The Ross Park Zoo Mobile will
be on hand as will the
Firefighters Smokehouse and
Tux from the
Scranton/WilkesBarre
Penguins.
There will be demonstrations
throughout the day geared
toward the four-legged attendees. Danielle Simmons will
offer an agility training demo,
there will be instructions on
pet massage, obedience training, pet CPR and a visit from
the Scranton Police K-9
Division. Special guest Sarah
Hodgson will offer a one-hour
presentation and be available
throughout the day to answer
questions. Hodgson is a dog
trainer, author of nine best-selling dog training manuals, syndicated columnist and TV
guest on shows such as Animal
Planet’s “Dogs 101.”
The Ross Ian Mackie Memorial
One-Mile Walk will step off at
10 a.m. Proceeds from the walk
go toward a scholarship for a
student pursuing animal studies. A motorcycle ride originating in Kinglsey will arrive in the
park around 3 p.m. Classic,
antique and street rod cars will
be on display from 10 a.m.-3
p.m. Popular bands Farmer’s
Daughter and Jigsaw Johnny
will provide live music.
Bringing together pets, their
owners and anyone who cares
about animals in a fun, friendly
atmosphere is the objective of
Bark in the Park. Those
involved hope to raise awareness as well as a sense of
responsibility. For a full schedule of events, visit
www.barkinthepark.co
