SUMMARY:Write This Down: Historical Journaling
DESCRIPTION:What if your grocery lists\, doodles\, love notes\, and late-night rants became the stuff of legend? While you’re busy living an “ordinary” life\, future historians might be dying to read all about it. \nJoin the Cortland County Historical Society and Laurie Seamans for a hands-on workshop that will turn your everyday into a future artifact. Learn how to journal in ways that are deeply personal\, wildly creative\, and—dare we say—historically intriguing. We’ll dive into themes and writing prompts\, then get crafty with collage\, altered books\, and other techniques to turn your journal into a true relic-in-the-making. \nYou’ve wandered the Cortland Curiosities trail and uncovered the stories of long-lost souls. Now it’s your turn to leave a trail of breadcrumbs for the curious minds of tomorrow. \nBring your scraps\, secrets\, and snapshots—we’ll provide the rest.📞 Call 607-756-6071 or visit CCHS online to save your seat before history forgets you.

SUMMARY:First Friday Gallery Opening: Jon Majka
DESCRIPTION:Join us February 7th from 5-8pm at the Cortland Corset Building Gallery for the opening of Jon Majka\, a local graphic designer and illustrator. Artist Bio: My name is Jon Majka\, and I am a graphic designer and illustrator based in the Finger Lakes region of New York. I have lived in this area my entire life and it has greatly influenced who I have become as an artist. I enjoy painting landscapes but I also revel in creating expressive abstracts as well as horror and fantasy illustrations. I enjoy precision designs almost as much as I do creating looser more expressive pieces. I work with a variety of media including inks\, oil paints & digital.
