No doubt, some people in Upstate New York are affected by depression, which can be attributed to the fact that this is one of the cloudiest locations in the country. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that changes with the seasons. SAD is assumed to be an imbalance of serotonin in the brain, triggered by a lack of sunlight. There are solutions to ease such depression. Physical and social activity, as well as having a creative outlet can be healthy coping strategies. The therapeutic potential of making pottery to help curb the effects of depression is increasingly being recognized by the mental health community.

Wharton Studio Museum & Historic Ithaca Present a multimedia exhibit February 1 through April 2022
Wharton Studio Museum (WSM) and Historic Ithaca (HI), both nonprofits focused on local history and preservation, have collaborated to produce Biggest Little Movie City: Ithaca’s Theaters Then and Now, a multimedia exhibit highlighting and celebrating Ithaca’s rich legacy of movie making and watching. By the mid-nineteen teens, downtown Ithaca boasted an abundance of beautiful theaters – The Star, The Crescent, and The Lyceum among them – where the city’s denizens flocked daily to watch movies and episodic serials. The development of motion pictures and the burgeoning of the movie industry – including the city’s own Wharton, Inc. Studios – allowed people to be transported to other worlds and escape, for a time, their daily routines by simply paying an admission fee to enjoy a movie on the big screen.
