About Irondequoit Art Club
The Irondequoit Art Club is a group of local artists who meet on the 4th Tuesday of every month from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Pinegrove Center at 154 Pinegrove Avenue in West Irondequoit. Meetings consist of business matters 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 Pinegrove to share lunch, art and ideas. Wednesday activities include monthly critiques on ongoing pieces being created by the members, painting, drawing, watching art videos or otherwise creating. Drawing and painting outings are scheduled when 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, selected by their teachers.
Membership in the Irondequoit Art Club is open to amateur and professional artists who are 18 years of age or older. Membership is $20 a year. Checks should be made out to IAC and mailed to Walter Musliner c/o Pinegrove Center, 154 Pinegrove Ave., Rochester, NY 14617.
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 during the year, by writing the Art Club at 154 Pinegrove Avenue, Rochester, NY 14617, coming to the Pinegrove Center at meeting or workshop times, or by contacting our Membership Chairperson, Carol Riesenberger.
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 idea. The Club is a community resource for art and continues to evolve in both a common direction and in many directions as individual artists. Our artists represent a wide range of talent and we are proud of all of them.
