NORWICH – Chenango Arts Council celebrates Black History Month, as well as offering a respite from the snow with the exhibit “Escape to Tortola,” happening now in its Mariea Brown and Raymond Loft galleries.

The Chenango Arts Council will host a closing reception on Friday, February 21, at 5:30 p.m.

Comprised of two distinctive but complementary art styles, the show contains watercolors by Aileen Malcolm depicting scenes from the British Virgin Islands, its residents, and tropical beauty. It also boasts select pieces on loan from Africa House in Endicott, NY which offer a sampling of what can be enjoyed in their beautiful galleries.
