The Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts (TCFA) is pleased to announce its 38th annual Fall Invitational, this year titled “ALTERED: Changed, Repurposed, Reconsidered.” Curated by Ann Welles, the exhibit features the work of six artists all of whom challenge us to experience the familiar in new ways. The show takes place from October 15 through November 20, with gallery hours Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 1-5pm

The Opening Gala is Saturday evening, October 15, from 7-9pm. This event is free and open to the public, with music by jazz pianist Alejandro Bernard-Papachryssanthou. Wine and light refreshments will be served.

Fueled by the notion that exposing us to new ideas reformulates what we already know, Ann Welles describes the genesis for the show as follows: “I was inspired by the building that houses the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts. Formerly a Baptist church, its past holds power and adds dimension to its current role in the community. I selected artists whose work can play off the building’s energy and whose practices tap into the power of the altered.”
The invited artists are:
* Julianna Dougherty, a digital-based artist who utilizes 3d modeling in both ceramic and plastic 3d printing.
* Ronald Gonzalez, a sculptor whose figurative works meld objects with human forms that address mortality, memory and psychic pain.
* Philip Kuznicki, a multi-media artist whose collages and assemblages make use of estate sale cast-offs that when reconfigured take on a decidedly surrealist quality.
* Natalija Mijatovic, a Serbian-American artist whose work poignantly examines humanity where change is the only constant.
* Gary Sczerbaniewicz, a 3d artist whose work seeks to disorient viewers through shifts in scale while combining post-Cold War imagery, cultural icons and architectural elements.
* Robin Whiteman, a sculptor known for her diminutive porcelain figures that merge religious iconography and myth — creating works that are both contemplative and potent.
A gallery talk with a participating artist will be held on Sunday, November 20 at 3pm. For more information visit TCFA.live

Live Music Series every Wednesday Music from 6-9 pm. BOGO Happy Hour from 5 to 6 pm. Cafe Toscana open until 8 pm.

Learn about Early Barns, Farmhouses & Agricultural Structures on October 27

Learn about “Early Barns, Farmhouses & Agricultural Structures” on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022 at 7:00 pm at the Geneva History Museum, 543 S. Main Street, Geneva. The program is presented by the Antiques Club of the Finger Lakes and is free and open to the public.

This is an in-person program only and will not be available virtually.

The program by Carol S. Bailey covers the evolution of barns in the Town of Lyons from English threshing barns to modern dairy and current pole barns. The early rude structures are far removed from the sleek pole barns that dominate new farm structures today.

Carol also addresses such topics as why barns are red and other agricultural structures found in the rural area. She will also discuss styles of farmhouses from federal to bungalow styles.

Her talk will cover the reasons for the demise of barns and the need for preservation. She will show slides taken in 1997 while she was the historian for the Town of Lyons. “These cathedrals of the land and their accompanying manses which are fading from the landscape are preserved in these photos.”

The Antiques Club of the Finger Lakes is in its 48^th year of programming. Meetings are free and open to the public, but membership is welcome and encouraged at $10 per year. Programs include meetings at the Geneva History Museum, field trips, and social events. See our Facebook page for more news.

We will host our annual Trick or Treat. The kiddos can stroll our market and visit our vendors for Halloween treats! The popular Dancing Witches of the Southern Tier will perform at 1:00 and 1:30.

Have a taste for travel? The Finger Lakes Region is a vast area beckoning the adventurous traveler to be explored and enjoyed!  With (11) Finger Lakes to choose from in upstate New York, it only seemed fitting to feature a distinctive old/new lakefront area tour of the 4th largest of those Finger Lakes: scenic and panoramic Canandaigua Lake.

Considered one of the most beautiful spots in the United States, the rolling hills, coupled with nature’s own majestic splendor, it’s been deemed the “Gem of the Finger Lakes.” This awe-worthy experience includes a delectable farm to table lunch, a tour of NY Kitchen, historical facts, and lakefront history all sprinkled into one leisurely, fun-filled afternoon!
