2nd Annual Geneseo Fine Arts Exhibit - Opens June 9, 2024 at The Cellar Restaurant in Geneseo and at RutabagA Gallery. Details below:
Sometimes we just need to MAKE the time to do art and express ourselves.
Our members have decades of practical experience in the fine arts. It is important to share our experience, knowledge and skills with others and we always learn from them too. You don't know what you can create until you try. We want to encourage all to make art.
Want to support the arts? Enjoy working with other artists? Join our nonprofit side, RutabagA, the Heart of Regional Art, NFP! Stop by the gallery and ask a member for further details.
Here's a sampling of the community enrichments our members have been involved in over the years.
Sponsoring a regional judged art competition, the Maple City Fine Arts Exhibit, for 35 years and now starting our own, the Geneseo Fine Art Exhibit, begun in 2023.
Partnering with civic groups to provide low- and no-cost instruction for children.
Leading art projects for life enrichment at area senior care facilities.
Teaching art for local home-schooling families.
Teaching classical fine art techniques.
Bringing nationally-known instructors to teach in Geneseo.
Painting community murals.
Giving time to area causes, such as Dress For Success, Henry County Humane Society, Braveheart Childrens' Advocacy Center, the Quad City Symphony Orchestra, and others.
Below is a group photo of members from late 2021. It is a pleasure to work with these artists and call them friends. Salute!
