Events for Friday, January 25, 2013
Art | Back To Top | |
| “Student Interpretation of the Nichols School Collection,” featuring artwork by various artists | ||
| Fri. Jan 18 to Sat. Mar 23 | ||
| This exhibition incorporates work from Nichols School’s five permanent art collections and new work by current students. The students studied the artists and the work in the Nichols School Collection and after reviewing the artwork, each student selected a piece to use as inspiration for their project. Each student developed and executed the project based on their interpretation of the original collection artwork. The exhibition will feature a selection of student work alongside the collection piece that inspired it. “The Nichols School Art Collection is a highly exceptional survey of work in all media by artists who are acclaimed locally, nationally and internationally,” said Gerald Mead, art collector and independent curator. “Displayed throughout the school campus, it provides an invaluable opportunity for students, faculty and staff to continually encounter and be inspired by original works of art. This encyclopedic collection, particularly rich with exemplary work by many of Western New York’s most prominent artists, has been described as ‘hidden in plain sight.’ Perhaps it is that spirit of discovery with which these works are viewed in the school’s hallways, offices and classrooms that make this important collection all the more special.” In the Boocock Reading Room, the work of internationally acclaimed contemporary artist, Laylah Ali ’86, shares a wall with the beloved area artist, Catherine Koenig. In the Upper School faculty room, works by Salvatore Dali hang, and in the Middle School faculty room, Charles Burchfield’s work on paper, “Plan for a Toy Bank,” can be examined as one pours coffee. Nichols has a commitment to art that extends beyond its studios and curriculum. The diaspora of artwork in offices, classrooms, hallways, lecture halls and more mark the importance of art at the school. The question was posed: How has this work, which is part of a rich and dedicated tradition at Nichols, remained hidden to many of its students and the greater community for years? The exhibit will feature artwork from the Nichols School Collection, which includes work by Monica Angle, Jim Bird, Catherine Koenig, Grace McKendry, Catherine Parker, Walter Prochownik and Peter Stephens, in addition to various works by current Nichols School students. Opening reception is Thursday, Feb. 7 The show runs Jan. 18 through March 23; gallery hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. h/c access | ||

Fundraiser | Back To Top | |
| 2013 Conservation Tree & Shrub Seedlings Available | ||
| Thu. Jan 24 to Wed. Mar 13 | ||
| 8am-5pm | ||
| Order forms for the 2013 Conservation Tree and Shrub Seedling Sale are now available from Erie County Soil and Water Conservation District. The District is offering many varieties of conservation trees and shrubs, wildflower seed mixes, and seedling packets which have combinations of trees and shrubs chosen to attract, feed and shelter birds, butterflies and other wildlife. Landowners can practice conservation by planting seedlings and wildflowers to provide wildlife food and habitat, shelter crops and landscape, reduce heating/cooling expenses, protect water quality, reduce air pollution, and stabilize erodible land. Seedlings are also an inexpensive alternative for replacing trees that have been damaged or lost. Thirty-two species of trees and shrubs are available this year. The one-to-three-year-old bare root seedlings, which range in size from 6 to 24 inches, are available in lots of 10 to 500. The District is offering an expanded selection of four- year-old evergreen transplants which are more mature trees with thicker stems, more branching and more developed roots. Also, a new seedling introduction to the 2013 program is the broadleaf tree Shagbark Hickory. The District also stocks marking flags, fertilizer tablets, and tree shelters to help promote the success of your plantings. Bluebird nest boxes can be ordered through the program or be purchased at the District office. Order forms may be obtained by stopping at the District office at 50 Commerce Way in East Aurora (behind Post Office), by calling (716) 652-8480 ext. 5, or by printing the order form from the District website at www.ecswcd.org.
