“Fragments of Identity” brings together the diverse artistic voices of TC3 faculty, students, and tutors. The exhibition explores the concept of identity through a variety of media—cross-contour drawings that capture the tactile essence of human form, portraits that tell personal stories, and fragmented digital works that reflect the layered nature of our digital age. This collection invites viewers to piece together the various fragments, forming a collective mosaic of experiences, perceptions, and expressions. Curated by Megan VanKanegan and Tanya Komar. This program is made possible in part with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant program from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the office of the Governor and NYS Legislature, administered by the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County.

Through many years of teaching and creating art my work continues to grow and evolve.

August 2024 Gallery Night w/ Michael Callahan
“Wind, Waves + Water” Seneca Stone Art by Michael Callahan with a live acoustic performance.
In early childhood, I spent hours collecting shells and stones on various beaches around the US with my parents and grand parents. Searching for the right stones is a type of meditation. I am inspired by the vertically stacked shale-stones formed by waves near the waters edge of Seneca Lake. I like to think that my best work is achieved when I get out of the way of myself and let the stones take me where they want to go, as close to nature as possible.
Michael Callahan holds a degree in Industrial Design from The University Of The Arts in Philadelphia. He has studied landscape painting, glass blowing, blacksmithing, woodworking and pottery. He spent 20 years designing products mainly in the housewares industry working on brands such as Steuben, OXO, All Clad, Umbra, Pyrex, Revere and Oneida. He has lived on Seneca Lake for 20 years with his wife Mary.

Join us in the Grayhaven Lounge for BROKEN GUITARS, a series by Josh Dolan utilizing broken and rescued guitars as a canvas for collage giving them new life as art pieces. The imagery of horses and the cosmos are often found in these works which tap into our subconscious need to ride! And broken things like broken people can still be beautiful and find new life.
Josh has been a maker since childhood but only recently returned to active status as a visual artist. The pandemic, as for many of us, illustrated just how fleeting life is and forced him to choose a life of art and music. Not only is he a visual artist, but he’s also a pretty decent musician, singer and songwriter; having released his first record in 2023 with The 86ers.
When not pursuing his passion for music and art he does stonework around Ithaca in summer, and handyman projects during the off-season
