Black history month display at Liberty museum

Posted

LIBERTY — The Liberty Museum & Arts Center continues its winter window display series with an exhibit celebrating Black History month. Paintings and collages by artist Gene Iovine include his moving portrait of Martin Luther King as well as collages featuring photographs recalling the Selma to Montgomery civil rights march and a display of prominent abolitionists.  Iovine has been creating artworks in various media for over forty years, and he curates the paintings on display at the Sullivan County Government Center. 

In the second window, local musician and artist Kusar Grace has  on display artifacts and artwork reflective of the black experience in America.  

The Museum window project was initiated several years ago to help brighten up Liberty's Main Street in the shadow of COVID, lighting up the neighborhood in the dark days and nights of winter.  And, of course, the windows are always open to the public.

The Liberty Museum is located at 46 South Main Street in the village of Liberty. For more information , call Matt Frumess, Vice-President, at  (845) 807-6725.
