Geneva update - July Art Opening
For those of my readers who care about Geneva (and I know there are at l least three Geneva natives who read and comment on occasion) you might find it interesting that Bibliochef and I spent this evening at an art opening on Exchange Street - Earth Works Art Gallery of Penn Yan has opened a gallery in Geneva. I'll put up a picture of the double-store front (429 Exchange Street) tomorrow - I forgot to take my camera!
Here's a page linking to the show - 5 Graces. The show was of mixed interest, though I liked a lot of the sheep by Diane Whitehead (sorry - no sheep on her page). Bibliochef liked her roosters. We both rather liked some cows and bison.
We also liked some of the sculptures (again, not the ones pictured - isn't it always the way?) by Sam Castner, including a big iron sphere out on the sidewalk. Yes, public art for sale in Geneva! Castner was the only local artist on display (and they were using him as floor filler, really, since the 5 Graces are all painters). I think someone announced him as a co-owner of the gallery, too.
Not the usual Saturday evening in Geneva - and all the better for it! A few free glasses of Anthony Road winery Pinot Gris and Vignoles didn't hurt, either.
