(Chittenango, NY) The Sullivan Free Library in Chittenango is featuring a display of iconic images from America’s history. The library received a collection of prints as part of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The goal of the grant is to bring notable American art into our communities, teach American history and culture and foster a better understanding of our country’s diverse people and places.
The collection currently on display includes “Migrant Mother,” a photograph by Dorothea Lange, which depicts the desperation of the Great Depression, “Freedom of Speech,” by Norman Rockwell, and the famous portrait of Abraham Lincoln taken by Alexander Gardner.
The display can be viewed during regular library hours, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 2 p.m.
The current group of 18 prints will be shown through April 30.
