Our September Art Party features the artwork of Joshua Coon.
Josh Coon is a Conesus, NY-based artist that has been exploring various curiosities of his mind through whimsical illustrations for many years. His love of drawing has fueled him to share that work through teaching, marketing, and most recently as one of the founders of HA! Skates (a boutique artist-driven skateboard company.) Working primarily digitally these days, he continues to explore his creativity bringing to life the quirky characters of his imagination.

Step into the unknown this August at The Gallery in the Valley's "Strange Summer: The Cryptid Show." Encounter the eerie and extraordinary as local artists imagine and bring to life cryptids inspired by the Genesee Valley. This show is also a contest - which of these creatures do you think is the best otherworldly representative for our region? Read up on origin stories and cast your vote for your favorite cryptid in-store during the month of August. The winning cryptid will become a mascot for the region and The Gallery will work with the winning artist to develop a line of memorabilia featuring the chosen creature.

Our June Art Party features the work of Alexander Fals.

From a lineage of artists, scholars, and revolutionaries for social justice, Alexander Fals is a genre all his own. His paintings are not just wall hangings, but windows into a magical world where all things have beauty and mystery. The mineral pigments he uses are colors that have been underground in ancient volcanic deposits, lying dormant for centuries. Each color has a unique mineral composition, many of which are naturally flecked with Mika, stones and crystals.
