Between Worlds: The Art and Design of Leo Lionni is the first major American retrospective dedicated to the art and design work of groundbreaking modernist designer and children’s book illustrator Leo Lionni (1910-1999). “Design is form,” the artist said, “Sometimes it is decorative form, and has no other function that to give pleasure to the eye. Often it is expressive form, related to conceptual content, to meaning. It is always abstract; but like a gesture or a a tone of voice it has the power to command and hold attention, to create symbols, to clarify ideas.” Together with Chief Curator Stephanie Haboush Plunkett, the exhibition is co-curated by author and children’s book historian Leonard Marcus and illustration and design historian Steven Heller. The Museum is also working closely with Annie Lionni, the artist’s granddaughter.

Free - Thurman Maple Days will be held 10am-4pm March 9-10, 16-17 & 23-24 at several sites within a small radius in the small town of Thurman, just minutes from downtown Lake George. Maple Days showcases some of Warren County’s largest maple operations, along with a “sapling” new operation that sprouts new growth each year. These maple farms initiate visitors from near and far to the Adirondacks heritage art of turning sap into outstanding maple confections, from the traditional pancake syrup and maple sugar candies to newer delicacies like maple cotton candy, maple glazed nuts, cinnamon infused and bourbon maple syrups and much more.
Visitors can self-guide with a passport and map to all 5 maple farms as well as to open houses to 4 neighboring farms. Visit the producer of internationally-awarded goat and sheep cheese, a certified tree farm that offers an artisan market with ongoing interactive demonstration and a 3rd farm that produces organic foods. Guests may experience wagon rides to the sugar bush, see traditional sap collection contrasted with technologically advanced procedures for reducing sap into syrup in the most-efficient way. Talk to the farm hosts about the passion that drives them to pursue their age-old arts. Each farm offers shopping so guests can take home some of the products made.
More information: Contact Robin Mahler (518)683-1508 or mudstmaple269@gmail.com. This event is made possible, in part, by Warren County occupancy tax dollars grated by the Town of Thurman.
Participating Farms: Toad Hill Maple, Valley Road Maple, Hidden Hollow Maple, Mud St. Maple, Candy Mountain, Martin’s Lumber and Artisans, Nettle Meadow Farm, TEF Braids, Maple Craft Show at Thurman Town Hall.
