Community Calendar

"Li’l Sprouts" parent and child classes provide a gentle Waldorf morning designed for the very young and their caregivers, led by Master Teacher Karen Lonsky. We offer beautiful indoor and outdoor play spaces where babies and toddlers under age 3 can explore a nurturing rhythm that supports play, imagination, and imitation.

This is a time for interacting with your little one through activities such as snack preparation, free play, movement, simple circle games, and exploring nature. With the guidance of an experienced Waldorf teacher, the group will also explore parenting topics, including:

• Meals with children
• Discipline in early childhood
• Media, technology, and family life
• Building healthy rhythms into home life

Attendance Options: Available as a drop-in class or as a seven-week series on Mondays this early spring.

Special Exhibit
February 4 - March 6

Controversy is a constant in the realm of comics and video games. Visit the Gannett Gallery for a special exhibition examining these controversies and the communities that thrive regardless.

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).

Immerse yourself in local talent brought to you by the Finger Lakes!

Athena Rajnai is a keenly observant poet whose classically trained voice and folk influences blend together to create succinct, crystal-clear songs. Alongside a 5-piece band, the Geneva-based, Pennsylvania-born artist touches on themes of love, fear, and longing in their music, twisting pastoral imagery with blunt truth. A recent graduate of Ithaca College’s School of Music, a fierce local arts advocate via The Smith Opera House, and an avid music-junkie, Rajnai is indisputably an artist aiming to make a meaningful impact in our frightening world.

The Smith Opera House presents the Winter Cabaret Series. Every other week, a band/artist will take over the Cabaret for a musical showcase. Grab a drink, some free popcorn, and relax as you immerse yourself in the local talent brought to you by the Finger Lakes!

This is an 18+ event.

"Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." — Arundhati Roy

This exhibition, on view in Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego from Jan. 27 through Feb. 26, features artwork by individuals exploring concepts of femininity—whether they identify as women, men, trans, or non-binary.

The goal of the collection is to explore various expressions of femininity and what it means to embrace them. This allows for an intersectional approach to feminism, examining how the connections between race, age, gender dysphoria, and queerness impact people across a spectrum of identities.

Exhibition Details:

• Featured Artists: Quinn Alexander Hunter, Robin Tobias, Mads Leach, and John Michael Byrd.
• Location: Tyler Art Gallery, SUNY Oswego.
• Dates: Jan. 27 – Feb. 26.
