Ephemera are items meant to be used temporarily and then usually thrown away, such as cards, advertisements, ticket stubs, etc. As we catalog the Noel Collection, we often find these items tucked away in the books for safe keeping – and then forgotten. Now they can be seen again and the pleasure they once gave experienced anew. We have a selection of them on display along with the books in which they were found. Come and experience our delighted discovery of these remnants of the past.

Now You See Me: Portraiture has long been a cornerstone of American art, evolving from grand oil paintings of colonial aristocracy to intimate photographic studies of everyday life. It has functioned as a mirror of social values-asserting power, legacy, identity, and aspiration. As the cultural landscape of the United States has shifted, so too has the definition of who gets seen, how they are seen, and by whom. The artists included - Vitus Shell, Aron Belka, and Gina Phillips - work in varied mediums and have unique processes, but their work has a common thread; their subjects defy the expected. Rather than portraying traditional icons of wealth or status, the artists depict friends, family, and strangers.

Open: Tuesday-Friday 10:00AM-5:00PM

Over three decades, Jay White has performed more than 10,000 concerts around the world, reflecting the stage persona of an American music legend. Each expression of every Neil Diamond song performed by Jay evokes the power and the passion of a live Diamond performance. He is humbled to have been acknowledged and embraced by Neil, Neil’s family, and Band, for performing the Brooklyn-born singer/songwriter’s music live in concert in the most respectful, convincing way possible.
