The Gannett Gallery is honored to present The Last Portrait

Every person has a unique story, shaped by life’s challenges and accomplishments. The end of life is just another chapter — our final challenge — and it provokes an equally unique response.

The Last Portrait is a photographic exploration by Mark DiOrio into those remaining days of the narrative. It features portraits of Upstate New York residents who were in hospice care from 2014 through 2021.

The exhibition is inspired by a celebration of existence, even in its closing stages. It attempts to capture the essence of individuals as they and their families reflect on their lives and respond to their feelings about death in their own distinctive ways. The project also offered families one more opportunity to be photographed with their loved ones.

Join us this summer for sketching in the galleries!

Grab a sketchbook and pencil and get ready to learn more about the practice of sketching with Hiram Cray, a professional artist and educator. Learn how to capture on paper the amazing properties of glass or simply follow along and discover the Corning Museum of Glass through the eyes of an artist, Fridays through July 24 to August 28. Note: Friday, August 21 is the only Friday this event will not be held.

Participants of all ages are welcome and will meet in the Admissions Lobby. Paper and pencils will be provided. Free with admission.

November 7 – 8, 2026, 9:00 a.m.⁠–⁠5:00 p.m.
