Water Street Studios, 160 S. Water Street in Batavia, will celebrate the New Year with our community of Resident Artists and instructors. January 2020 will mark the beginning of new art classes, new Resident Artists, a new website, and more!
Participants will not miss out on the unique experience to view and celebrate all of Water Street Studios representative talent, a vast quantity of work in a single exhibit that spans both the first floor Dempsey Family Gallery and second floor Chicago Capital Gallery.
Attendees can view a curated selection of recent artwork by Water Street Studios’ resident artists and instructors. The exhibition will feature work from more than 30 artists and artisans working in a wide variety of media, scale, and disciplines. During the gallery opening reception, attendees can meet the artists, enjoy a cash bar, view open artist studios, and enjoy art activities.
