Pen and ink drawings of artist Ray Sax will be on display. The 57 drawings were created by Sax over a four year period that began in 1988 with a picnic to Lock 24 in Baldwinsville with his wife Betty. Enjoying the experience, they kept going from one lock to the next, Ray drawing each one. The exhibition of these drawings will bring new attention to the beauty and engineering of Barge Canal structures. Visitors to the exhibit will be reminded that the Erie Canal is not merely a thing of the past, but a remarkable body of water that connects east and west.
