On Saturday, November 6 at 2 pm Waterville Historical Society will host a talk by Joan Shkane on the exhibition Fashioning Art from Paper, on view at Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica through January 9. The exhibit showcases masterpieces from 500 years of fashion history drawn from European paintings and collections, recreated in paper by Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave. The series Papiers à la Mode highlights dresses worn by Madame de Pompadour, Marie-Antoinette, Elizabeth I, and Empress Eugenie. Splendor of the Medici captures the luxury of the Italian Renaissance in Florence. Kaftans features textiles of Asia and the Ottoman Empire traded along the Silk Road. Les Ballets Russes recreates vibrant costumes designed by Picasso and other modernist artists for the innovative Paris ballet company. The World of Mariano Fortuny pays homage to the famous designer's Grecian-inspired creations. Join us at 220 East Main Street, Waterville for an overview and introduction to this extraordinary exhibition. Free and open to the public; wheelchair accessible; refreshments.

Exciting news from Karol Watkins! We are blessed to be part of this ministry.

We have waited so long for this day! Thank you Lord for answering our prayers!

We have our own building and with the help of friends from supporting churches,
we were able to get the lobby and auditorium gutted and now we’re ready to start
fixing it up. (Years ago, this building was an animal hospital which is why there is

white tile all the way around this room.) Even though we haven’t put up new walls,

ceiling or floors, it still looks better than where we were meeting!

We are thankful to have more space!
