Mingling the Waters 200 Years on the Erie Canal at The Arkell Museum
Mingling The Waters: 200 Years On The Erie Canal March 1, 2025 through December 30, 2025 ?the Erie Canal exerted no mean effect upon the Nation. Its influence spread beyond and strove to efface our local boundaries and to make of the loose confederation of States and territories one united people. The Erie Canal Centennial Celebration, 1928 Completed in 1825, the Erie Canal was a triumph of early engineering that carried an unprecedented volume of traffic 363 miles from Albany to Buffalo, influencing settlement, agricultural and industrial choices and patterns in New York State and beyond. Throngs of people traveled the Canal out of curiosity and pleasure, reaching previously inaccessible places, and documenting their experiences and impressions in letters, journals, and travelogues. Artists and writers found ready subjects at every bend, from quiet landscapes to bustling canal towns. This exhibition recognizes the bicentennial anniversary of the completion of the Canal, shares recollections of early travelers, and celebrates the continued importance of the Erie Canal and Mohawk River. This exhibition is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. S.

Morning Yoga with Mary Ann Zicarelli, Instructor at Paul Nigra Center
This class is designed to welcome all levels to the mat. The pace is mindful, which gives students the opportunity to connect their breath to each pose. Holding poses for several breaths allows students to find that deeper connection of the mind, body and breath. Frequent alignment cues are given, which help newcomers feel comfortable and supported on their mat. The cues also help the most seasoned student with refined alignment, which ultimately brings more space, strength and peace into their practice. This class begins with embodiment movements that help warm up the joints, muscles and connective tissue, which prepares the body to gain more flexibility, mobility and strength. Classes are prepared with a theme or peak so that students can feel connected to the process and purpose of each experience on the mat. *Members receive a 20% discount.
