The Fair Haven Arts Center (FHAC) is pleased to offer for the third year our show called Fair Haven Retrospective with the theme of capturing the Fair Haven of “yesteryear”.

The exhibit will run from Sept 5 – Sept 13, 2020. All art categories (e.g. all visual arts, photography, mixed media, ceramics, and crafts) as well as writing featuring this theme will be accepted. Artifacts also accepted providing we have enough room!

Community Project: Let's Make Masks, Fair Haven! (On-going)
CALLING ALL CRAFTERS: If you have some fabric and a sewing machine, please join us in the mask making movement that has started across the country to supply face masks to anyone in need! With a global shortage of face masks available, crafters & sewing professionals across the country have taken to their sewing machines to create fabric face masks for our medical
staff & people in need.
We are setting a goal at the FHAC for our town to make and donate 1,000 masks! To date the Art Center has donated 300 masks!
Although hand sewn masks are most certainly not medical grade, ANYTHING will help! Some locations have already requested that their nurses and doctors wear the same masks for weeks on end, and have resorted to creating makeshift Personal Protective Equipment from office supplies and bandanas.
Time is of the essence with this project, so please, if you can, grab that scrap material you’ve been saving & start sewing!
Patterns:
Here are some patterns to get you started! There are MANY more on youtube and pinterest! There are NO rules with these, we just need to get masks on people - and fast!
https://www.masksforheroes.com/make-masks
https://www.instructables.com/id/AB-Mask-for-a-Nurse-by-a-Nurse/
Need help with a pattern? Let me know! We can set up a virtual zoom meeting to work out any issues you might have!
Also, below is the link to a pattern for crocheted/knit ear-savers! Masks are being worn for long shifts and for days on end, and these ear savers will help to keep anyone wearing a mask more comfortable!
https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sore-ear-savers
Supplies:
With Earth Day later this month, and most of us being quarantined at home, this is a perfect
time to go through the house and see what could be repurposed into face masks! Some crafters are repurposing old drapes and table clothes (please just make sure you wash all material before you start sewing!). Scrap fabric, old cotton shirts, sheets and bandanas are a great place to start!
If you want to help, but don’t have supplies, please check out JoAnn Fabrics website for information on how to receive supplies at free/low cost to join the movement. They are offering curbside pick up on orders.
Also, let me know if there is anything you need, or would like to donate! We can collect supplies and distribute them to those eager to help without you having to leave your house.
Many patterns call for elastic, but elastic is beginning to become scarce as well as hand made mask production is picking up speed. Ties can be made from ribbon, hair bands, strips of fabric and seams of t-shirts.
Collection
Please contact Kelly via email (mcdorman@oswego.edu) or text (315)209-3049) if you need your masks to be picked up for shipping. I can pick them up from porch/sidewalk to ensure safety of participants and minimize people being out and about
There will be a plastic tote on the Fair Haven Art Center Porch. Please place your masks in a bag and place them inside of the tote. We suggest wearing a mask/gloves when you deliver for the most protection, but plastic tote will be cleaned with clorox after every shipping pick up.
Shipping:
To limit human contact and keep safety as our first priority,(but keeping the time sensitivity of the situation in mind) shipments of masks will be made twice a week. To begin, we will be shipping on Tuesday and Friday mornings! If we begin to receive more than expected donations, we will ship more frequently! Please let me know if you have made a delivery to the art center so I can be sure to get your masks out to those who need them as soon as possible!
The Fair Haven Art Center will be covering all shipping costs, and a few of our generous members will be coordinating drop off to local areas in need! If you are able and would like to help with local drop offs or know of people in need, please let me know!
Where are the masks going?
The masks will be donated to local organizations that we are aware of first. Please, if you know of anywhere that needs masks for their staff, or if you know of a family that needs some - Let us know! Our local communities are our first priority.
Secondly, we will be using the website: www.masksforheros.com to determine organizations that are accepting hand sewn masks in New York State, and then across the country.

Did you know that February 2020 marks the 200th year anniversary of Susan B. Anthony's birth and 2020 also marks the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote? Quite a year!
But you probably don't know the story behind the passage of the 19th amendment and the role the women of Sterling and upstate NY played in making that happen. We at the Arts Center are about to bring that to life, On February 29, we will be presenting a dramatic reading of letters between Susan B and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others -- brought to us by one of our members, Dorothy Cooper, who previously was docent of the Susan B. Anthony House in Rochester. She has performed this "play" in various locations and we are delighted to be able to offer it here. If you are interested in participating in the performance, please join us Thursday, February 6 at 11:00 am at the Arts Center.

Fair Haven Retrospective – 6/28 – 7/14
Opening Reception Friday, June 28th 5-7 p.m.
Fair Haven Retrospective Book signing during reception
Gallery Hours Sat & Sun 11-3 p.m.
Mon thru Friday (July 1 – 5) 12-2 p.m.
The goal of this event is to capture the image of what Fair Haven was like in yesteryear. There were many good and also difficult aspects of life back then -- the architecture of the buildings, the characters that lived here, the simplicity of life before cell phones and autos (and yes, no indoor plumbing or refrigeration), the hardiness of the people who were able to thrive in difficult times, the resourcefulness of children who created their own games outside rather than sitting at the computer. In today's complex world we may do well to remember the simple things that can make life meaningful and bring people together.
And so, while we still have people in our midst that remember the stories and have access to photographs of the past we would like to pull them together into an artist's rendition of "Fair Haven Retrospective". We would like to make this an annual event with limited material and building on it each year. We would like younger people to be involved - perhaps interviewing some of the older generation and drawing or writing down their stories or even filming them.
So, if you're interested in participating in this event please email us at fairhavenart@gmail.com
Artists interest in participating, please contact Susan Lemon 315-427-3428 or email fairhavenart@gmail.com by June 24th.

Susan B. Anthony Reading - Sept. tba
Community Project: Let's Make Masks, Fair Haven! (On-going)
CALLING ALL CRAFTERS: If you have some fabric and a sewing machine, please join us in the mask making movement that has started across the country to supply face masks to anyone in need! With a global shortage of face masks available, crafters & sewing professionals across the country have taken to their sewing machines to create fabric face masks for our medical
staff & people in need.
We are setting a goal at the FHAC for our town to make and donate 1,000 masks! To date the Art Center has donated 300 masks!
Although hand sewn masks are most certainly not medical grade, ANYTHING will help! Some locations have already requested that their nurses and doctors wear the same masks for weeks on end, and have resorted to creating makeshift Personal Protective Equipment from office supplies and bandanas.
Time is of the essence with this project, so please, if you can, grab that scrap material you’ve been saving & start sewing!
Patterns:
Here are some patterns to get you started! There are MANY more on youtube and pinterest! There are NO rules with these, we just need to get masks on people - and fast!
https://www.masksforheroes.com/make-masks
https://www.instructables.com/id/AB-Mask-for-a-Nurse-by-a-Nurse/
Need help with a pattern? Let me know! We can set up a virtual zoom meeting to work out any issues you might have!
Also, below is the link to a pattern for crocheted/knit ear-savers! Masks are being worn for long shifts and for days on end, and these ear savers will help to keep anyone wearing a mask more comfortable!

Supplies:
With Earth Day later this month, and most of us being quarantined at home, this is a perfect
time to go through the house and see what could be repurposed into face masks! Some crafters are repurposing old drapes and table clothes (please just make sure you wash all material before you start sewing!). Scrap fabric, old cotton shirts, sheets and bandanas are a great place to start!
If you want to help, but don’t have supplies, please check out JoAnn Fabrics website for information on how to receive supplies at free/low cost to join the movement. They are offering curbside pick up on orders.
Also, let me know if there is anything you need, or would like to donate! We can collect supplies and distribute them to those eager to help without you having to leave your house.
Many patterns call for elastic, but elastic is beginning to become scarce as well as hand made mask production is picking up speed. Ties can be made from ribbon, hair bands, strips of fabric and seams of t-shirts.
Collection
- PICK UP
Please contact Kelly via email (mcdorman@oswego.edu) or text (315)209-3049) if you need your masks to be picked up for shipping. I can pick them up from porch/sidewalk to ensure safety of participants and minimize people being out and about
- DROP OFF
There will be a plastic tote on the Fair Haven Art Center Porch. Please place your masks in a bag and place them inside of the tote. We suggest wearing a mask/gloves when you deliver for the most protection, but plastic tote will be cleaned with clorox after every shipping pick up.
Shipping:
To limit human contact and keep safety as our first priority,(but keeping the time sensitivity of the situation in mind) shipments of masks will be made twice a week. To begin, we will be shipping on Tuesday and Friday mornings! If we begin to receive more than expected donations, we will ship more frequently! Please let me know if you have made a delivery to the art center so I can be sure to get your masks out to those who need them as soon as possible!
The Fair Haven Art Center will be covering all shipping costs, and a few of our generous members will be coordinating drop off to local areas in need! If you are able and would like to help with local drop offs or know of people in need, please let me know!
Where are the masks going?
The masks will be donated to local organizations that we are aware of first. Please, if you know of anywhere that needs masks for their staff, or if you know of a family that needs some - Let us know! Our local communities are our first priority.
Secondly, we will be using the website: www.masksforheros.com to determine organizations that are accepting hand sewn masks in New York State, and then across the country.

At the home of Virginia McKnight, Fair Haven's only female mayor
(now the Fair Haven Arts Center)
We are delighted that Robert Kolsters will be starting up some more history discussions this month - and that he will be devoting his first session to a discussion of the Suffragette movement in Sterling. His first session will be next Wednesday, Feb 5 from 2-4 pm. Come hear about the visit Susan B. Anthony made to Sterling and the role of some of the local women in the movement. It promises to be a lively discussion! A History Discussion open to all.
Susan B. Anthony Reading Presented by Dorothy Cooper

the Fair Haven Arts Center
Did you know that February 2020 marks the 200th year anniversary of Susan B. Anthony's birth and 2020 also marks the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote? Quite a year!
But you probably don't know the story behind the passage of the 19th amendment and the role the women of Sterling and upstate NY played in making that happen. We at the Arts Center are about to bring that to life, On February 29, we will be presenting a dramatic reading of letters between Susan B and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others -- brought to us by one of our members, Dorothy Cooper, who previously was docent of the Susan B. Anthony House in Rochester. She has performed this "play" in various locations and we are delighted to be able to offer it here. If you are interested in participating in the performance, please join us Thursday, February 6 at 11:00 am at the Arts Center.

Fair Haven Retrospective – 6/28 – 7/14
Opening Reception Friday, June 28th 5-7 p.m.
Fair Haven Retrospective Book signing during reception
Gallery Hours Sat & Sun 11-3 p.m.
Mon thru Friday (July 1 – 5) 12-2 p.m.
The goal of this event is to capture the image of what Fair Haven was like in yesteryear. There were many good and also difficult aspects of life back then -- the architecture of the buildings, the characters that lived here, the simplicity of life before cell phones and autos (and yes, no indoor plumbing or refrigeration), the hardiness of the people who were able to thrive in difficult times, the resourcefulness of children who created their own games outside rather than sitting at the computer. In today's complex world we may do well to remember the simple things that can make life meaningful and bring people together.
And so, while we still have people in our midst that remember the stories and have access to photographs of the past we would like to pull them together into an artist's rendition of "Fair Haven Retrospective". We would like to make this an annual event with limited material and building on it each year. We would like younger people to be involved - perhaps interviewing some of the older generation and drawing or writing down their stories or even filming them.
So, if you're interested in participating in this event please email us at fairhavenart@gmail.com
Artists interest in participating, please contact Susan Lemon 315-427-3428 or email fairhavenart@gmail.com by June 24th.
