Join us on Sunday, March 8th, from 3:00 – 5:00 pm for an opening reception for our Art Show of the Month- Chris and Cat Farrell: Industry and Legacy. All are welcome to attend! The show will be on display throughout the month of March. 

A husband-and-wife team—Chris, a photographer, and Cat, a ceramic artist—come together for a joint exhibition that bridges industry and intimacy. Chris’ photographs of abandoned factories capture the quiet dignity of forgotten spaces: peeling paint, rusted machinery, and the lingering imprint of human labor. Cat’s functional ceramic vessels respond in kind, incorporating delicate lace family heirlooms—once ornamental trim in a working world, now reimagined as adornment on objects made for daily use.

Together, their work reflects on legacy and transformation. The factories speak to a bygone era of industry and craft; the ceramics restore touch, utility, and tenderness to materials shaped by time. Through image and object, ruin and refinement, the artists trace how beauty endures—how adornment persists even as structures fade, and how the past can be held, handled, and carried forward.

Did you know “The Purple Rose of Cairo” was filmed in Piermont in the early 1980s? Visit the Hudson Room at the Piermont Public Library (this week only) to see, through photographs by Sally Savage on limited loan from the Piermont Historical Society, how Piermont was transported back to the 1930s during filming. And then come see “The Purple Rose of Cairo” screened this Friday, February 27th at 1:00 pm at the library. Free popcorn for all!
