'Unseen' Art: Photographer's Other Side

L. David Wheeler, editor of Steppin' Out writes: "Readers of the Canandaigua Daily Messenger are well acquainted with the work of Rikki Van Camp, the Messenger Post Media photo editor who’s provided the Daily Messenger and its affiliates with photographs since 1991.

But there’s another side to Van Camp than the dramatic landscapes you may have seen in the newspaper or on display in local galleries, stores and wineries. A March exhibit at Wood Library, called “Unseen,” will feature many of the Macedon artist’s three-dimensional, mixed-media pieces, which make use of canvas, wood, paper, metal, tree branches, plastic, paint, foam, photographs, clock parts — whatever suits the piece — and incorporate collage, woodworking, fish-printing techniques and more." Read more at the MPNow website.

Library Bell Ringers at Salvation Army

Here's some raw video footage of the Pizza Party on February 3 at the Salvation Army on Saltonstall Street here in Canandaigua. Barbara Henry and Gail Wiechmann attended from Wood Library. We ran into staffer Judy Baker who was there with her church group. We enjoyed hearing more about the many programs and services at the Salvation Army. Last December Wood Library staff rang the bells to help raise money for the Salvation Army. It is one of many ways Wood Library is active in the community, helping to make it a great place for all. Each year Captain Ginter and his staff invite all the bell ringers down to the Salvation Army for a pizza appreciation party.
