Keiko Tanabe

Join us for this special 3-day plein air workshop with International Artist Keiko Tanabe. This workshop focuses on developing an impressionistic approach to painting landscape by combining observation with expressive freedom. Keiko will demonstrate how to establish strong, simple compositions that support the story of your painting while allowing it to evolve naturally. Participants will learn strategies for balancing accurate representation with loose, painterly brushwork, achieving work that is both engaging and expressive. Participants should have some familiarity with watercolor, but all levels are welcome. To learn more about the artist, please visit www.ktanabefineart.com.

*Please note full refunds are only available 30 days or more in advance of class start.

Cute free attraction Very cute art gallery. The exhibits change every six or so weeks. It is free to enter and look around. The ambiance was very nice with music playing in the background. I especially liked the old, gigantic vault used when it was a bank that has been refurbished into a little jewelry sales area.

Original Art Abounds The Art Center of Yates County offers sculpture, jewelry, paintings, pottery, note cards, pens, and many other HAND MADE works of art. The staff are helpful and friendly, the space is a wonderful converted bank building (you can go inside the vault to view some fine hand made jewelry) which offers plenty of wall space and nice lighting. If you are visiting the area, you must stop in to take home something locally made!

Vibrant, interesting, welcoming We had some time to spend at this lovely arts centre, which had beautiful art featured from local artists. I want to come back to try one of their classes on their Keuka Lake property.

The instructor was knowledgeable, organized and clear. She was warm and approachable. I was a bit intimidated by the idea of creating an abstract painting on a large, for me, area. She helped me get started and to make use of color theory and composition. I was “in the zone “ in no time. The space was comfortable, well lit and had tons of supplies.i will be back !

This gallery is a hidden gem When visiting the Finger Lakes, don't miss this gallery. It is conveniently located in the small village Penn Yan, NY and the staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a wonderful display of art from the local community and apparently, it changes every 4-8 weeks. Also, there is an old bank vault and door that is quite unique. The door itself is a work of art. Worth a stop.

Nice local art We enjoyed viewing the art created by the local artists. We spent about 10 minutes in the store. The lady behind the counter was not at all engaging though.
