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).

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.
