This year, the Victorian Lady antique shop in Oneida is on a mission to collect and distribute warm winter coats and accessories to help neighbors facing hardship during these difficult times.
“If you would like to help make someone's winter a little warmer, we would be most grateful!” says Ms. Gerri Gray, the shop’s proprietor. “We are holding the coat drive throughout the fall and winter.” She added, “We also plan to host a few food giveaways, so if anyone wishes to donate any canned food (including pet food) and/or other non-perishable items, they can bring them to the shop during our regular business hours or simply leave them on our front porch.”
Donations of new and gently-used coats, scarves, and gloves are being accepted every Monday and Saturday from noon until 5 p.m. and on all other days by appointment only. The shop, which was featured on Lite 98.7, is located at 302 Main Street, Oneida, NY (at the corner of Stone).
A team from the Upstate Cancer Center will provide practical information on a variety of topics to help those undergoing cancer treatment and recovery best manage and enjoy the holiday season. This session will feature a cooking demonstration of simple, nourishing holiday side dishes and a discussion on coping with cancer during the holidays, including guidance on handling emotional stress and strategies to help patients and caregivers find peace, balance and meaning during the holiday season. The intended audience is individuals in treatment or recovery from cancer and/or their loved ones. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required by calling Upstate Connect at 315-464-8668.

All That Remains features artwork by two SUNY Oswego art faculty members, Peter Cardone and Christopher McEvoy. While each artist explores themes of slippage, memories, and the push pull of reality, their artworks engage these concepts in very different ways.
Cardone’s photographic series depicts the Lighthouse at the H. Lee Maritime Museum and scenes of Lake Ontario. The images of the Lighthouse are devoid of people or living things. They feature liminal interior spaces with views of the lake shown through another frame, such as a door or a window. Other works look down on the water from a higher vantage point, framing the view with bits of roof, gutter, and railings. Cardone says, “The photographs simultaneously generate feelings of presence and absence. Standing by the water, I feel grounded in a particular place and time. Yet, as I look out, I am untethered from the present, tracing the water’s path to memories of other lakes, oceans, places, and people.”
Christopher McEvoy’s abstracted paintings inhabit the gap between perception and imagination. His large paintings are heavily layered with organic and geometric components. These forms overlap, fuse, and create a conflicting linear perspective. This evokes a feeling of falling apart and coming together simultaneously. McEvoy says, “These aren't paintings about confusion but consciousness. In fractured moments and invented landscapes, I witness my own daily negotiations with meaning—the constant work of assembling coherence from fragments.”

Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Friday: 2-6 p.m., Saturday – Sunday: 11 a.m.- 3 p.m. Closed on Mondays, holidays, and when classes are not in session. Classes and groups may arrange after-hours visitation.

Following a group of camp counselors trying to mold the leaders of tomorrow when tomorrow is looking bleaker and bleaker, "The Grown Ups" explores the traditions that change us, what it takes for us to change them, and how to change yourself when you're hopelessly, tragically, not prepared for this.
