SIDNEY — In addition to all our wonderful children’s and teen programs, we have several great programs lined up for the month of May. Mark your calendars so you don’t miss a single one.

Sunday, May 4 from 1 to 3:30 p.m.: Reception and Art Exhibit. We are proud to present the solo exhibition of Ty Steinbacher, a self-taught artist from Walton, NY. Ty has been creating art since the age of 3. By 12 he was already taking on commissions, and by 18, his detailed pen and ink drawings were mass produced and sold throughout New York.

Over the years, Ty’s creative vision evolved into large-scale murals that now grace public spaces. Today, his work is internationally recognized and celebrated in collections around the world for its remarkable artistic excellence. Please join us for the opening reception on Sunday, May 4 from 1 3:30 p.m. The exhibit will be on display in the Smart Community Room during the month of May.
