| Sep 1 - Sep 30 Corning Credit Union & Crystal Cleaners Coat Drive |
Corning Credit Union and Crystal Cleaners Partner for Coat Drive
Corning Credit Union and Crystal Cleaners will partner together to hold a coat drive beginning September 1st and continuing until September 30th. The public may donate new and slightly used coats at any Corning Credit Union branch during normal business hours. All youth and adult sizes are needed for girls, boys, women and men.
“We are pleased to be able to partner with Crystal Cleaners and hold this coat drive to help people stay warm this winter,” said Kim Depew, Marketing Supervisor at Corning Credit Union. “Sometimes we take a basic warm winter coat for granted yet there are people who just don’t have the extra money to go out and purchase a winter coat. This coat drive can help individuals in the Corning/Elmira area with this basic need.”
Coats will be distributed to several local organizations and schools. For more information, please contact Kim Depew at kim.depew@corningfcu.org or 607-962-3144, ext. 5804.

| Sep 17 Happy Tails Chicken BBQ |
Happy Tails Daycare and Pet Resort will hold Chicken BBQ's on Saturday, September 17 and October 15 from 11 am until gone. Happy Tails is located at 11929 East Corning Road, Corning, NY. The meals will be prepared by the North Corning Fire Department and will include 1/2 chicken, salt potatoes, macaroni salad, baked beans and a drink. The cost is $10.00 per person. Call (607) 377-5757 and reserve one today.
The funds raised will go towards making the needed renovations to the bus to accommodate as many as 40 dogs in crates.
For further information, you may contact Happy Tails at (607)377-5757 or happytails1@stny.rr.com.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the gulf coast and left many people and pets without their homes. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast and destroyed many homes and businesses. Closer to home in 2011, Binghamton was flooded due to Tropical Storm Lee. Recently, there was a fire at a nearby boarding facility which housed numerous dogs and it left them without options to shelter the pets. A few pets’ lives were lost.
These horrible events left many people and their pets without their homes.
Happy Tails Day Care & Pet Resort has recently purchased a used school bus to be turned into the "F.E.R. (fire, emergency, rescue) Waggin' ".
"It is rare to find a school bus that has air conditioning," states Elaine Walker, owner of Happy Tails. "This one recently became available through a broker. We had been talking about this need for a couple of years. It is a large part of the Emergency Plan for our facility and believe it will help meet the needs of local Fire Departments, shelters, boarding facilities, and Veterinarian offices."
The F.E.R Waggin' will be used to help pets in the area displaced due to floods, fires, and other emergency situations. It will also be used by Happy Tails, i.e. as a way to transport dogs to dog swim at the end of the summer. |

| Sep 29 Ribbon Cutting - Studio LMG |
Celebrate the official opening of Studio LMG!
About Studio LMG:
Studio LMG is a retail business that will be owned and operated by Laura Matson. I have been a manager and graphic artist in the printing industry for over 18 years; I love what I do! I love working with the public and I have always longed to work closer to my home in Corning. For the past few years I have
felt that there was a need for a print and design center in Downtown Corning where people can come with any size job and get a great product with a fast turnaround.
Studio LMG is a full service print, copy and design center that offers a friendly atmosphere and a wide range of services including: wide format printing, full color brochures, business cards, graphic design, logo design, vinyl banners, posters, bulk mail, direct mail, and outdoor vinyl lettering for your window or auto. We also run a full range of finishing services including laminating and mounting. Studio LMG is your neighborhood business center; offering self-serve computers and self-serve copiers. Here customers can check their email ,send a fax, and print or scan documents.
At Studio LMG we offer digital and large run printing Including: color copies, post cards, and rack cards and logistic services for local law offices including: binding, copying, scanning and trial exhibits.
I am one of the only local print centers to offer Fine Art Giclee Printing on Canvas or Watercolor Art Paper and also specializing in limited edition art prints. Giclee has quickly become a new standard in the art industry as it is widely embraced for its astonishing quality by major museums, galleries, and artists.
I believe my market will be mixed with artists who want to sell prints in my store or just hire my services to print for them; contractors that need forms and yard signs or hospitals that want banners and signage. I plan on catering to the tourist with local art prints, local scenic cards, mugs and apparel, which will be produced right in house. For the banks, realtors, insurance companies and non-profits,I will offer a wide range of custom designed promotional products which include:pens and pencils, apparel, lanyards and badge holders, drinkware, calendars, awards and recognition.
I am very excited to become part of the Gaffer District and look forward to serving this community for many years to come.
You can learn more about Studio LMG by visiting the website at www.Studiolmg.com or by visiting the StudioLMG Facebook page.

| Sep 30 Ribbon Cutting - Alley Art |
Internationally Renowned Artist, Virgil Ortiz, to Inspire High School Student Mural
Heavily sought out by celebrities, royalty, collectors and museums, Cochiti Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz combines art, décor, fashion, video and film in his artwork. While busy with new business ventures (just opening a retail store in Santa Fe in July), Ortiz continues to round-out his artistic portfolio with a new outdoor mural in Corning, NY in collaboration with at-risk high school students and The Rockwell Museum.
Designs are underway and Ortiz will visit Corning from September 26 – September 30, 2016 to paint the mural alongside student artists. The mural will be located on the back building façade of Captain Morgan’s, a restaurant on Bridge Street in Corning’s Gaffer District. During an Urban Arts Crawl event, the mural will be unveiled and a public reception is planned for Friday September 30 from 5-8 p.m.
Corning’s Art Alley Project murals are the result of a special collaboration between The Rockwell Museum and the High School Learning Center of the Corning-Painted Post Area School District. Since 2009, The Rockwell and the school district have worked together in conjunction with downtown planning agencies and business owners to make this project a reality.
Beyond the notoriety of his artistic talent, Ortiz’s professional agenda centers on a lifelong dream to create opportunities for children in his tribal community that reflect the legacy of his ancestors. After meeting with The Rockwell and learning more about the student population served by the High School Learning Center program, Ortiz offered to return to Corning in 2016 to work with students in the design and execution of a mural.
All summer, students have studied Ortiz’s Ancient Elder sculpture on view at The Rockwell, a work developed as part of Ortiz’s futuristic revolution story taking place in 2180 that restores sacred lands to the Pueblo peoples. Inspired by this work, students created their own “super power” characters who are meant to help bring about important changes needed in society such as equality for all peoples. A final drawing is being created by Mr. Ortiz, incorporating elements of the students’ work that will become this year’s Alley Art Mural. Under Ortiz’s guidance, the mural drawing will be painted by the HSLC students beginning in August.
Each academic year, students fulfill mandatory Art and English Language Arts (ELA) credits during their time spent at The Rockwell. Guided by Rockwell educators, students use the American art collection at The Rockwell as a catalyst for creative writing and art making. Students create individual pieces of art that work as elements of a larger mural. Designs are later painted on the alley facades of downtown businesses by the students. There are now a total of seven murals and plans are underway for another this year.
“Art is intended to be a part of our everyday lives – to inspire and to be enjoyed in the communities in which we live,” says Gigi Alvaré, Director of Education at The Rockwell Museum in Corning, NY.
“The Alley Art Project provides students an outlet to express themselves and is a way in which they can contribute something positive to their community. Most importantly, an incredible sense of pride is gained,” says Alvaré.
The mural project is changing students’ lives, evidenced by the story of a former student and successful graduate of the HSLC. A highly creative and talented artist, a student participant in the first alley art mural now serves as the artist-in-residence on the project.
“This story is ‘full circle’ for me – it takes a village to raise creative and caring students and the Alley Art Project has deeply connected many students to our community,” continues Alvare.
To check out these murals in person, you can begin in the parking lot of The Rockwell. Four can be seen just around the corner from The Rockwell’s entrance. A full listing can be found here: http://rockwellmuseum.org/community-education/education-programs/alley-art-project-2/
This project is made possible by grants from The Triangle Fund and Great Circle Foundation, Inc.
About The Rockwell Museum
The Rockwell Museum, in association with the Smithsonian Institution, tells the story of the American experience through a display of stunning art about America. Founded in 1976, The Rockwell is an evolving community center which showcases the best of America through compelling exhibitions and imaginative programs. The diverse collection includes a mix of contemporary Native American art with traditional bronze sculptures, landscape paintings and other works that embody America. Housed in the beautifully restored 19th century Old City Hall building, The Rockwell is active in the local community and holds special events and educational programming with area public schools. The Rockwell provokes curiosity, engagement and reflection about art and the American experience.
About the High School Learning Center
The HSLC is a collaborative effort among C-PP School District, Corning Community College, the local business community, local museums and area not-for-profit organizations. Since its inception in 2003, the alternative program features a curriculum that is directly aligned with the District’s learning goals. >more information
About Virgil Ortiz
Hailing from a family of celebrated Pueblo potters, Virgil Ortiz moves into a new era combining art, décor, fashion, video and film. Ortiz’s exquisite clay works are exhibited worldwide from the National Museum of the American Indian in New York’s Hergotenbosh Museum in The Netherlands, to Fondation Cartier in Paris, France featuring Vertigo, a 21-piece clay series acquired by the museum for their permanent collection. Born in 1969, the youngest of six children, Ortiz grew up in a creative environment in which storytelling, collecting clay, gathering wild plants, and producing figurative pottery were part of everyday life; his grandmother Laurencita Herrera and his mother, Seferina Ortiz, were both renowned Pueblo potters and part of an ongoing matrilineal heritage. After a highly successful collaboration with fashion mogul Donna Karan, which he developed boldly patterned textiles based on his graphic decorative painting, Ortiz has since launched his own fashion line. >more information
