This Folklife Gallery exhibition of original paintings, prints, and drawings by Stephen Alcorn celebrates the life and times of Odetta Holmes (1930-2008), and is occasioned by the publication of the critically acclaimed picture book titled "Odetta - The Queen of Folk," conceived and illustrated by Stephen Alcorn; poem by Samantha Thornhill; and published by Scholastic Press.

Produced by the Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library, this exhibit is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts - Folk Arts Program, with the support of Governor Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
