It appears 37 degrees is warm enough for outdoor art in Ithaca. The Earth Art exhibition of 1969 took place in February while Beebe lake was still frozen. Things are almost all thawed out in Ithaca, and I hope we can keep it that way till Summer. Friday it snowed or sleeted most of the day, but it did not deter the crowds of people that walked to Sears Street. If you took photographs during 126 Sears Street, I’d love to see them. You can put a link in the comments or send me an email.
It was great to see everyone last night. Thanks for coming to 126 Sears Street. For those of you who submitted a drawing, you can see photographs of your drawings in light below:
