The Art Walk at the Irondequoit Town Hall The
Irondequoit Town Hall is hosting a monthly art display, entitled “The
Irondequoit Art Walk”, presented by the Irondequoit Art Club (IAC), a
locally-based group of eclectic artists. Every month, different IAC art
works are shown. The current display runs until July 31, 2009 and
features a variety of pieces located on the main floor immediately
outside and inside the Broderick Room and also on the 2nd floor
near the administrative offices. IAC artist, Tom Romanoski, coordinates
with town staff to make this cultural event happen. “We
at the Town Hall are pleased to welcome back the work of the members of
the Irondequoit Art Council,” said Irondequoit Supervisor Mary Ellen
Heyman. Many residents who visit our beautiful Town Hall notice the
historical artwork in our hallways and this special show just adds to
the beauty of this fine building. I hope our residents will visit the
Town Hall this month to see this beautiful work.” Another
IAC endeavor located at Irondequoit Town Hall wall by the stairs are a
series of permanent murals depicting scenes of Irondequoit history.
Completed in 2004, this 3-year project with 19 vignettes spans 150
years of town history and is noted as one of the Town’s
accomplishments. These works were created by Irondequoit Art Club
members, Jeanette Musliner, a nationally-respected artist, and Hollis
Biggs Garver. The historical scenes developed in consultation with town
historian Pat Wayne, are composites of several photos. Durand Eastman
Park is presented as four seasons within one painting; the Town Hall as
a compilation of July 4 daytime parade and nighttime fireworks. The
frames were handmade and painted to match the wall. The
Irondequoit Town Hall is located at 1280 Titus Ave, Rochester, NY 14617
and is handicapped accessible. There is no entry fee. For more
info, contact the town hall at 585-467-8840, or Tom Romanoski at 585-544-1238. For more info about the Irondequoit Art Club, consult the club’s websitewww.irondequoitartclub.org |
