Busy weekend in the Finger Lakes

The Schweinfurth Art Center will open its popular Quilts=Arts=Quilts 2010 this coming weekend in Auburn, New York. There are two special events before the general opening. A preview reception and award presentation will be held on Saturday evening. On Sunday, the center will be hosting a Quilters' Brunch and Lecture by Eugenia Barnes.  Finally the show opens to the public on Sunday afternoon at 1 pm. This year there are 93 quilts by 78 artists in the show. It promises to be an exciting exhibit and I hope to drive over on Sunday.

Also, this coming weekend, in Canandaigua New York, 'Art on the Lake' will host its 1st Annual Show and Sale of high quality Artisans and Craftsman presenting a wide array of all avenues of the arts. The show will be held at Bristol Harbor Resorts, 5410 Seneca Road, Canandaigua in the Main Lodge's Great Room Banquet Hall. Hours for the show are October 29, 5-8 pm; October 30, 10 - 8 pm; October 31, 10-3 pm. More info at www.grapemomentstudios.com.
