ART | New Shows Opening
Welcome to an artful summer, Rochester. Since the weather has been so lovely, and perfect for a road trip, why not journey out to Canandaigua and take in some of the Finger Lakes art scene? On Thursday, May 31, Wood Library (28 S. Main St., Canandaigua) will host a 6-8 p.m. reception for “The Finger Lakes: Above and Below.” Gloria Betlam’s paintings meld iconic and personal images of the region with illustrations of the geology of shale beds and pathways from fracking wells to aquifers. The show will remain on view through July 12, when it will travel to the Livingston Art Center in Mt. Morris. For information, call 394-1381.
