Hawley-Green: Art Exhibit
Hosted by: Petit Branch Hours: Friday, April 1, 2016 from 9:00 AM to 9:00 AM Summary: .As an artist and a photographer, Andrea Hall often sees the world through a different lens than other people. Until recently, she never truly realized how that applies to the neighborhood sheâs lived in for over twenty years.We, the residents of the Hawley-Green area of Syracuse, are a very diverse group. We are a potpourri of ethnicities; we are professionals, students, and laborers; we are old âmain lineâ Americans and refugees; we are gay, straight, bi and trans.But we mix well to make up that distinctive flavor which is Hawley-Green. The bulk of the populace is young; most of the architecture is old. Curlicues, friezes, gingerbread scrollwork, fishscale shingles, pediments, columns, transoms -- all combine to make some magnificent Victorian and Queen Anne homes.This photographic show is her attempt to increase the appreciation of our very special neighborhood by folks beyond its boundaries.
