NORWICH — The Chenango Arts Council, located at 27 West Main Street in Norwich, will be hosting an opening reception for "Split Personalities: Urban and Rural Landscapes," a collection of scenic oil paintings by Jeffrey Glave at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, August 2 in the Mariea Brown and Raymond Loft Galleries.

"This show has a lot of landscapes and scenery, and it’s both rural landscapes: farms, wilderness, that kind of thing; and also cityscapes: scenes of storefronts and workers working and things," said Chenango Arts Council Administrative Assistant Mary Beth Miller. "It’s all really beautiful work."

Glave has worked as a scenic artist in the film, television, and theater industry for 40 years. His work has been featured in movies such as “Do The Right Thing,” “A Beautiful Mind,” “John Wick,” and “The Inside Man;" television shows such as “Mr. Robot" and “God Friended Me;" as well as several theater productions, including some years at the Metropolitan Opera.

The opening reception is free and open to the public, and will include live music by Rick Zimmerman, as well as wine and refreshments provided by the Cottage Bakery. Glave will also be in attendance to meet visitors and discuss his artwork.
