Also pictured are Tony Ferraro, and Lynne Rubscha. The Schine on Spring- 2026 exhibit raised $2,712 to benefit the The Halold Wilmot American Legion Post 137 in Gloversville.

The mission of the Schine Gallery is to promote local artistic endeavors to benefit local nonprofit organizations. The recent exhibit opened on Thursday April 30, 2026 and ran over the next two weekends, concluding on May 14, 2026 as part of the Downtown Gloversville Art Walk.

The Harold Wilmot American Legion Post 137 was built in 1930 at 200 North Main Street. The home was dedicated to Private Harold Wilmot, the first Gloversville serviceman to die in WWI. The American Legion supports local veterans who have sacrificed much for our country.

The exhibit had a patriotic theme as a salute to veterans on the 250th anniversary of the USA. The Big Tree room was washed in red, white and blue, including vintage quilts. The big tree had a patriotic theme with White House Christmas ornaments prominently displayed.

The veterans room included patriotic quilts, memorabilia on loan from the Fulton County Museum & Historical Society and scrapbooks from the American Legion. In addition, Schine Gallery is extremely thankful for all of the veteran information and scrapbooks that Tony Ferraro had on display as well as artifacts from several local veteran’s families.

The exhibit showcased two artisans known locally for their artistic creativity:
Jack Horning, longtime Gloversville artist, exhibited many of his iconic colored pencil and ink drawings of local landmarks, scenery, and more. Bill Trojan, photojournalist and photographer, displayed a unique portfolio of varied genre including moon shots, nature photos, rock stars, and patriotic scenes.

Presentations were held in the Schine screening room. Ian Pitcavage, Fulton County Veterans Office Director gave two inspiring talks on the “Debts of Liberty and the American Legion”. Fulton County Historian Samantha Hall Saladino presented “Revolutionary Women”, acknowledging the important contributions of women in our country from 1776 to present.

Schine Gallery thanks all those who came to the exhibit and donated for the benefit of Harold Wilmot American Legion Post 137, 200 North Main Street, Gloversville.

All proceeds from the Schine on the Holidays 2025 exhibit benefited The Elizabeth Cady Stanton Hometown Association’s Young Women’s Leadership Summit. This Summit was held in the third floor Schine Memorial Hall Screening Room and the Schine Gallery on November 12, 2025 which is Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s birthday. The Summit hosted over 50 high school juniors from six local school districts. Students crafted their own leadership philosophy after touring Ford’s exhibit on women’s leadership, hearing advice from local women leaders in a variety of industries, and meeting Coline Jenkins, Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s great, great granddaughter.

For our Schine on the Holidays 2025 exhibit we showcased the works of an extraordinary quilter and a local artist. Decorated “female inspired” trees were also highlighted. In conjunction with the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Hometown Association Young Women’s Leadership Summit the gallery showcased quilts, posters, articles, and other information pertaining to the suffrage movement.

Mary Jane White born and raised in Gloversville was a woman of extraordinary talent and creativity in quilt making. Known as “MJ” by her many friends at Sew Busy Quilt Guild, she was happiest when sharing her passion through teaching, encouraging fellow quilters, and gifting quilts to family and friends! Her legacy lives on in every quilt she created. Our “Big Tree” room posthumously highlighted her spectacular Peacock Quilt as well as many of her other unique quilts throughout the gallery.

With much appreciation, the Schine Gallery was proud to highlight the works of talented female artisans. Varied mediums were on display: painting, photography, quilting, crewel and embroidery. Many thanks to Liz Argotsinger, Krissy Gilmore (Ricmar Printing), Tina Reeves, Celeste Susany, and Terri Zierak for their invaluable contributions and support!

Leslie Ford has leadership experience in California and New York as a teacher, counselor, and school administrator. While raising her children, she also fostered teens and cared for young children in need of temporary placement. All of this informed her work supporting young women leaders. Many of her abstract paintings and collages use symbol and metaphor embracing the many ways in nature and life that women demonstrate strength and leadership.

Schine Gallery thanks the many patrons who visited, enjoyed, and donated to benefit The Elizabeth Cady Stanton Hometown Association’s Young Women’s Leadership Summit!
