Join Us for a Free Gallery Tour

Fall is a beautiful time to visit the rural countryside of Niagara County, especially with the wonderful produce stands, farms and wineries. Why not take a leisurely drive and make a stop at the Kenan Center on September 20where you can enjoy a free Talk and Tour with guest curator Gerald Mead of the current exhibit, Feasting Eyes: Artists Take On Food. The tour begins at 2:30 pm. The gallery is admission free, but for a $5 or more donation, you can get your hands on the limited edition color catalog--a real steal for any artophile, especially if you collect or just love Western New York artists. Also--remember to bring some non-perishable food items which will help out the YWCA of Niagara's Domestice Violence Safe Dwelling.

Check out what's in the exhibit on our early blog posts and slideshows, and also this week's Artvoice where you'll find a nice article by Lucy Yau. Go to Artvoice story.

The Show Opens!

Feasting Eyes opened on Friday (Aug 29) on a perfectly beautiful evening when summer finally graced our region. The exhibit brought many of our friends from across the county border including a number of artists--both those in the show and those who wanted to come out and support their colleagues. Curator Jerry Mead even brought along packages of Skittles for artist James Paulsen to sign. A public tour with Mead takes place Saturday, Sept. 20 at 2:30pm and it promises to be fascinating. You really want to get the low-down on the video inside the refrigerator and what the story is behind Courtney Grim's 6 foot long photo of bacon. And it's free--come and join us!
