This class will be an introduction to hand sewing (a necessary skill!) and basic sewing machine skills. Students will have the opportunity to let their creativity shine while designing and sewing projects. Pillow cases and stuffies will start us off, and we will wrap up with journal covers with a few surprises along the way.

A REBEL PRAYER
ACADEMIC WORLD PREMIERE

Book and Lyrics by Eloise T. Govedare | Music by Aleksandra M. Weil | Directed by Kathleen Wrinn | Music Direction by Brian Cimmet | Choreography by Bradley Stone | Mar 27 - Apr 5 | Opening Night: Mar 28

A searing new musical about protest, loss, and the power of art.

“Look the beast in the eyes, and stare. Say a rebel prayer.” When a politically provocative play costs her father his life, 16-year-old Nikita and her mother are forced to flee Moscow for Domikov, a remote Russian town where tyrannical headmistress Ludmilla Mukhina rules the local school with an iron fist. Mired in grief and desperate to return home, Nikita is visited by the spirits of Pussy Riot, the real-life punk-protest collective imprisoned for their art. But when they offer Nikita one of their masks to carry on her father’s legacy, Nikita is faced with a dangerous choice: submit, or rebel?

March is National Women's History Month!

Stop into the NOPL North Syracuse Community Room during regular library hours (Monday through Saturday) all month long and take a walk through the story of women whose lives were impacted by the Erie Canal, whether they worked on it, traveled on it, or had their political awakenings as a result of it. This exhibit is based upon the vast collection of images owned by the Erie Canal Museum, as well as Canal writings.

Cazenovia Artisans presents local art teacher's artwork in an exhibition for the month of March. An opening reception for the artists and guests will be offered on Saturday, March 7, 2-4 PM. and is open to the public.

The Kirkland Art Center presents "Broken," a rare juried exhibition opening Saturday, March 21. Featuring work from over two dozen, largely regional artists, the show offers a nuanced look at the concept of brokenness from multiple perspectives.

The exhibition, juried by Mary Murray, curator of contemporary art at Munson, utilizes a wide range of media—including painting, photography, and sculpture—to explore how brokenness manifests emotionally, physically, socially, and systemically. While the pieces examine damage and loss, they also highlight themes of revelation, transformation, and resilience.
