Nice collection from local artists! I had checked out this venue ahead of time, on Trip Advisor. It sounded like a place we would enjoy. It was just fun to look around at the art, in all mediums or media :-) Nice place to stop by while walking around Penn Yan.

Arts Center of Yates County If you're in Penn Yan New York you should stop by this place to view not only the exhibits, but the displays of local artists. It encompasses various media, most are for sale at reasonable prices, including jewelry, painting, sculpture, pottery, basketry among other items. It's in an old one room bank and they have retained the vault area with the old vault door which is a great way to use the surroundings. Enjoyed viewing the items, and purchased a pendent on a chain for my granddaughter. Nice to see what is happening with local art in addition to regional and national artists. Staff were very friendly, and wiling to handle any questions or attempt to find the answer if they weren't sure about it.

The finished art on the sale/show floor were so beautiful and the vault where the jewelry is, is so cool. Prices are fair, very clean, sort of small but just enough for that size

Fall for the Arts Stopped by the local gallery to check out the art scene. They had a wide variety of local artists featured with fish themed art on display and for sale. It looks like they rotate through various artist so it would be worth a return visit.
