This gallery is an absolute gem in downtown Skaneateles. It is just two small rooms tucked behind…read morethe library, but has a fascinating history. The gallery manager was wonderfully warm and welcoming. Even though we didn't take the tour, he graciously shared the history of the gallery, the life of John Barrow, and a bit about the curation of the pieces. It was fascinating to learn that Barrow never sold his artwork and legally mandated that many of the pieces in the second room and lower section of the first could never be moved or rearranged. Beyond being an influential local figure, Barrow didn't achieve much fame for his artwork, but certainly had an immense talent, which inspired a generation of artists. As was described to us, the artwork was "peaceful, pastoral, and bucolic" with landscape and nature scenes from around the Skaneateles area. The collection consisted of about 400 pieces, half of which were on display in the gallery and some of which were loaned out to benefactors homes through the aptly named "borrow a Barrow" program. You can easily see everything in much less than an hour, but it is definitely worth spending some time to admire the pieces and hear the stories behind them.

The rooftop has solar panels- there will be food and drink up there once the weather warms up. 2nd floor has a cycling/spin room that has bikes that generate electricity and show how much you are generating. There are 2 wind turbines right behind the building. The plan is to have the entire building operate on alternative / renewable energy sources. There is an atrium and skylight in the center of the building with a grow wall with plants. Local artists' work adorns the walls. Plenty more to say and see here- come check it out!

This is one really beautiful gallery - every inch is meticulously designed from the glossy wood…read morefloors to the bright lights shining on each piece of art on display. We came here to see Peter Pincus' ceramics show. The way they had the place laid out was ideal for perusing and each piece was better than the next. They get a cool mix of artists in this space so it's worth a stop if you're in the area or on your way back to Rochester following a few winery stops. They also have space upstairs, which features smaller pieces - lots of drawings and paintings hanging on the walls. On the first floor they have a very small store with some random supplies, books, knick knacks and gifts made by local artists including some jewelry on display. Whether or not this is something they do, it's a cool space for an event. I think they plan to host classes in the future which would be a nice addition.

I have been to 3 or 4 exhibits here in the past year (photography, watercolor, ceramics), and have been wowed by every one. They showcase a great variety of mediums, and there are usually multiple exhibits on display at a time, upstairs and down. They also have an artist in residence, and on our latest visit, we were able to meet him and get a first-hand introduction to his present project, which was really fascinating. I love to visit the gallery as part of an afternoon outing. Usually we end up spending an hour or so in the gallery appreciating all the exhibits, then we go across the street to Warfield's for lunch or dinner. Warfield's has great food, a focus on local beer and wine, and a changing, seasonal menu. It's a great way to spend an afternoon. The current exhibit featured in the downstairs gallery is of alternative photography and is definitely a must-see. As a photographer who practices several alternative styles (wet plate collodion, kallitypes, palladium printing, cyanotypes, tin types, etc) I was blown away. The subject matter, size of the pieces, different styles from photo gravure to cyanotypes to tin types, all of it is amazing. And coming up on April 1st, one of the featured artists (tin type master and alternative photography innovator John Coffer!) will have a free workshop, which is by reservation - so go see the show and sign up!
