About Irondequoit Art Club
The Irondequoit
Art Club is comprised of local artists, featuring the
beginner to the accomplished.
Meetings are held on the 4th
Tuesday of each month from 7
to 9 P.M. at Chapel Oaks
which is located on the St. Ann’s
Campus at 1550 Portland Avenue
(across from Rochester General
Hospital). We conduct a short business meeting, followed
by a demonstration by a professional artist. These demonstrations are open to
the public and cover a wide range of art forms - painting, sculpture,
printmaking, etc. They are fun as well as educational.
On most Wednesday afternoons
(usually 12:00 - 3:00 p.m.),
the Art Club holds workshops at the Pinegrove
Senior Center
to share lunch, art and ideas. Wednesday activities include monthly critiques
on pieces being created by the members. Drawing and painting outings are
scheduled whenever possible.
 This is a drawing outing at the Canal in Pittsford.
The Art Club sponsors two shows
each year - a Spring Show, which is a juried show for its members and a Fall
Show, which exhibits both arts and crafts. Both are open to the public. Art
works are sold through either of the shows. The Spring Show includes an opening
reception where awards are given to those pieces found to be notable by judges
who themselves are professional artists &/or art instructors. Awards are
also presented by the Art Club to promising high school art students, who are
recommended by their teachers.
Membership in the Irondequoit Art Club is open to amateur and
professional artists who are 18 years of age or older. A member is eligible to
exhibit in the shows if 4 meetings are attended in the year prior to the show
(including Wednesday sessions) and other criteria are met. Applications for
membership are available at either of the Irondequoit
Art Club shows or you may download and print the form from
the website.
The Irondequoit
Art Club offers an exciting way to create with the support of
other artists and is open to any and all who share that concept. The Club is a community resource for art and
our artists represent a wide range of talent; we are proud of all of them. A rotating display by the Irondequoit Art Club Members may be seen, displayed
on two floors of the Town Hall at 1280
Titus Avenue; appropriately named, “Art Walk”.
