Local artist Chris Knickerbocker opened her solo art exhibit this afternoon in Owego displaying a wide variety of art within the building.

The exhibit titled "The Odditorium of Self-Made Freaks" is modeled after old-time sideshows and dime museums showcasing oddities, novelties, illusions, and mechanical gadgetry.

The exhibit explores sideshows through past and current-day perspectives by understanding their historical role while respecting their impact on the lives of those who performed.

The exhibit is free and will be open on weekends from 12 to 4 p.m. through September 3rd at 1003 Sanford road in Owego New York.
