shhhhhh....Secret Monster Project is coming to The Gallery!!! Tell everyone!!!

We are so very excited to host writer, speaker, doodler, mischief maker, the one, the only, the joyfully monstrous KATE WELSHOFER to The Gallery!

What is the Secret Monster Project? Kate Welshofer created a monster — actually, she created a whole bunch of them and they just keep multiplying. Oops. Secret Monster Project started as a fun, silly, no-stress, daily creative practice on New Year’s Day 2023. A lifelong doodler, Kate started posting her artwork on Instagram: a monster a day — to keep the burnout away.

Come on out to meet Kate and her monsters, and maybe doodle some monsters yourself -- this project is intended to encourage any one of any age to embrace art, creativity, positivity, and play.

As always, this event is free and open to all ages. We'll serve snacks and refreshments, and if you're lucky, you might get to pet our sweet shop dog Lady.

Join us for the opening reception for our July collaborative exhibit by Stacey Mrva and Sami Bodratti!!

Stacey Mrva is a metal sculptor and owner of Ironwood Studios, known for transforming bold line drawings into expressive steel wall pieces. Her pieces in this show reimagine old-school tattoo flash in welded form. She also leads VERY VERY AWESOME empowering women’s welding workshops in her Springwater, NY studio.

Sami Bodratti is the beautiful brain (and very steady hands) behind Ambrosia Arti, a woman-owned eco-focused tattoo studio right here on Main Street in Geneseo, NY. Sami's work is colorful, floral, vivid and captivating.

We're VERY excited to see how these two artists bring their artistry together on our visiting artist wall!

As always, this event is free and open to all ages. We'll serve snacks and refreshments, and if you're lucky, you might get to pet our sweet shop dog Lady.

Our November Art Party features the artwork of Gerald Swanson.

Gerald Swanson is a graphic artist, illustrator, designer, animator and painter currently residing in Groveland, NY. Gerald’s artwork often features impromptu, fantastical worlds and characters drawn from imagination, with memorable curiosities to be discovered within the details of his work. His artwork leans heavily into symbolism, emotion and storytelling. Major influences include Romanticism, Post-Impressionism, Surrealism, and Chinese 山水画.

Our December Art Party features the works of ceramicist Stephanie Krist of Fired Figments and designer and maker Joanna Walters. Join us for some holiday shopping and general merriment!!!

Our November Art Party features the artwork of Jacob Taylor.

Jacob Taylor is a local multimedia artist from Geneseo, New York. His work spans across a multitude of mediums including acrylic and pastel painting, and ink illustration. In reference to his show ‘Incongruent’ Jacob claims; “There tends to be no rhyme or reason to my artistic process outside of ‘What is fun right now?’ and thus explains why I go by ADHD. Art that ebbs and flows as freely as my attention span.”

Our October Art Party features the artwork of our very own Maddie Rice! You may already know Maddie as the super-kind, extremely creative manager of The Gallery, but did you also know she is a wildly talented artist and maker?!

“Unsent Letters” is Maddie’s first solo exhibit, in which she has explored multiple mediums across a variety of art forms. Maddie masterfully brings original paintings, collage, block printing, and more to life on canvas, clothing, printed goods, and functional art in her uniquely colorful and dreamy style.

Please join us on Saturday, October 5, from 6 to 8 p.m. to celebrate this wonderful human!

Our June Art Party features the work of Alexander Fals.

From a lineage of artists, scholars, and revolutionaries for social justice, Alexander Fals is a genre all his own. His paintings are not just wall hangings, but windows into a magical world where all things have beauty and mystery. The mineral pigments he uses are colors that have been underground in ancient volcanic deposits, lying dormant for centuries. Each color has a unique mineral composition, many of which are naturally flecked with Mika, stones and crystals.

Our April Art Party features the artwork of Kim Binaghi-Lee.

Join us for a Jazz House Designs pop-up shop! Michael Fambro of Jazz House Designs will be set up inside The Gallery at one of our big workshop tables with her full suite of earring and jewelry designs for sale.
