Samurai Baseball Exhibit Features Works by 15 Local Artists
By CHARLIE VASCELLAROCOOPERSTOWN
The cross-cultural exchange here in Cooperstown served as the impetus for the “Samurai Baseball and More—A-Fine-Arts Look at Baseball” exhibit running through Saturday, September 13 at The Art Garage, 689 Beaver Meadow Road. Opening receptions were held on Friday and Saturday, July 25 and 26.
The exhibit features a variety of multi-media and multi-disciplinary contributions of 15 local artists. Some of their works were previously included in Cooperstown exhibitions on Main Street and Pioneer Street in the 1990s, and in the international touring exhibition, “Diamonds Are Forever: Artists and Writers on Baseball,” co-curated by Art Garage proprietor Sydney Waller.
Cooperstown artist Robert Seward created a collection of Japanese woodcuts and Manga-inspired posters assembled in a collage in one of Waller’s three galleries.
