Paintings, sculpture, photography and more are on display Sunday afternoon at the Cooperstown Art Association’s annual Fine Art On The Lawn on the porch and front lawn of Cooperstown’s Village Hall, 22 Main. Above, Kathy Lloyd, Cooperstown, sits and admires art from Susan Jones Kenyon, Mary Nolan and Lisa Booan, while Joseph Kurhajec, right, Treadwell, is seen at his booth making one of his characteristically strange creatures out of clay.
