The Gallery at the Sand Lake Center presents an exhibit from Jan. 1 - Feb 15 of the the wonderfully complex visual world of master printmaker Bill Skerritt. “For me, printmaking is the distillation of a lifetime of drawing, map-making, and technical diagramming.

My principal printmaking media are etching, aquatint, dry point, and linocut.” Experience the work of a master printmaker and be prepared to be amazed by his technical brilliance.

What Happened To Solomon Northup? (1:00 pm - 2:00 pm)
Date: Saturday, February 18, 2012 Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm Location: 7th Floor Librarians Room, New York State Library Solomon Northup was a free black man living in Saratoga Springs, New York, when in 1841 he was lured into leaving the state, and was sold into slavery. After being rescued nearly twelve years later, he authored a book, Twelve Years a Slave, about his life. What happened to Northup after he returned home? David Fiske has been researching that question, and has discovered that he became an anti-slavery lecturer and even helped fugitive slaves attain freedom in Canada. In this talk, Mr. Fiske will highlight some of Northup's interesting activities after he returned to the north. Copies of Mr. Fiske's new book, Solomon Northup: His Life Before and After Slavery , will be available for purchase at this program. Registration is required for this program.
