Two Girlz: Lupi & Dates
Exhibit May 1-31, 2010
Reception: Sunday, May 16, 2-5pm
Ginnie Lupi and Lynn Dates welcome art and chocolate lovers to their exhibit reception at Herdessa Confiserie and Cocoa Lounge, 150 Broad Street, Waverly NY on Sunday May 16th. The reception is free and open to the public. Herdessa Confiserie and Cocoa Lounge is operated by chocolatier Lisa Dowe. Lisa handcrafts artisan chocolates, baked goods, beverages, and manages an art gallery, all within the space of Waverly.
Montour Falls resident Ginnie Lupi fills the majority of her free time making artwork. The work hanging on the walls of Herdessa spans an almost ten year period and seeks to engage the viewer with such issues as childhood, memory, gender roles, and transition.
Lynn Dates lives in Elmira with her family and has a dedicated studio in her home. "I feel fortunate to be able to make art in my home surrounded by the ones I love. Additonally, I feel fortunate to live in a region of New York State that is teeming with artists of all disciplines. I'm excited to be able to show my work along Ginnie's and amongst the Confiserie offerings."
Lupi is the executive director of The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes and Dates is the Community Arts Development Director.
