Artists Sought for Genesee Valley Art Project

Genesee Valley Conservancy is seeking 100 artists for this year’s Genesee Valley 100: Duotone project.

Artists have their choice to use paper or canvas, in a 12×12 size, and are being asked to create a piece inspired by the Genesee Valley landscape using just two colors (and shades thereof).

The project aims, through art, to celebrate the diversity and importance of the Genesee Valley landscape that the Conservancy works to protect.

The subject and style are up to each individual artist.  Pieces are due October 15 in preparation for the in-person and online show.  Signups will be accepted until all slots are filled.

Artists can visit the Conservancy website for details on signing up and receiving their paper or canvas.

All pieces will be displayed at the Silver Lake Brewing Project in Perry where the paintings will create a mosaic that represents the diversity and beauty of the Genesee Valley.  The works will also be online for viewing and purchase.  The show will run November 12 through December 31.

There is a $15 fee to participate which is waived for school art classes that wish to participate.
