Spotlight Artist: Quilts by Nancy Galleher
Spotlight Exhibition: August 19 through September 13
“I consider quilting a true art form because the vision and resulting selection of fabrics, colors, and textures to achieve the final product requires color sense, perspective and execution. It is a time intensive process that achieves a genuine sense of accomplishment when my quilt is finished, and I can say ‘I did that’."
Come and spend some time with Nancy L Galleher’s exquisite works!!
Phoenix Rising: Margery Pearl Gurnett
Opening: Friday, October 2, 5 to 7 pm
Exhibition: October 2 through November 1
In December of 2022, I suffered a devastating studio fire that destroyed everything. Out of this experience, I developed a new body of work. This exhibition will showcase the best work I’ve created since the fire — mixed-media resin pieces alongside paintings. It is both personal and universal: a testament to resilience, renewal, and the human ability to rise from loss toward possibility.
There are rare moments when everything inside stills and breaks open. Not with storm, but with truth.
Not with clamor, but with clarity.
This is that moment. The threshold born in the act of making. The breath between who I thought I was and who I dared to become — something wild, something free.
These artworks rose out of that fracture. They were not composed, but summoned. Not polite explanations, but urgent demands. The creative self breaking its own continuum — color spilling as revelation, form embracing emotion, canvas, paper, glass and paint igniting as places where spirit refuses its cage.
This is me — unbound, unfiltered, a phoenix rising.
The opening reception on October 2 will feature music by Ryan Sutherland. Ryan is a Rochester, NY-based singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his one-man-band performances, which blend rock and roll, blues, Americana, and psychedelic rock. He has released several albums, including "Loners Paradise" and "Sutherland II," which often feature themes of working-class struggles and local life.

Woods and Paths: Cherry Rahn
Opening: Friday, November 6, 5 to 7 pm
Exhibition: November 6 through 29
I first walked into the woods at age 3 with my brother, age 5. I walked in woods throughout my childhood, sometimes getting lost, mostly not. My present series is in honor of those experiences.
The word “panic” comes from the feeling we have when we enter the woods and feel a powerful presence (as in the god Pan). I don’t panic in the modern or Classical sense, but I do feel a hair-raising aliveness in that environment. A path shows the way, even if we don’t know where it goes. This is the best of the “lost but not lost” experience. My approach to the paintings is to try to share this experience with the viewer.
The opening reception on October 4 will feature music by Dr. Erik Gibelyou. Erik is a guitar instructor and performing artist living in Geneva, New York. He believes that music enhances life through its powers of expression, benefits to mental health, and ability to grow a community. His solo classical guitar recitals present thematic programs played with superb technique and enriched by thoughtful commentary.
